With the temperatures soaring this weekend you might want to get away from it all at the last minute. So if you're free and fancy a quick trip away without breaking the bank, camping in Wales is a great option. And with our coastal views and mountain ranges we have gorgeous places to go to sleep and wake up to.
We've put together a list of campsites, in land and by the sea, where you can pitch up from Friday, August 12. All sites were showing availability and prices at time of publishing.
Just make sure you take plenty of sunscreen and fluids to keep you cool after Wales was issued with an amber 'extreme heat' warning from Thursday, August 11 to Sunday, August 14.
