Spring is well and truly on its way and people are now thinking about the holidays to come. To provide some inspiration, we've written about 10 of the campsites we supply, where campfires aren't just permitted, but positively encouraged.

Fires are part of their whole ethos and for people to have a campfire to sit around, keeping away the chill of an evening socialising and eating – all a big part of the camping experience. Only down the road from where we produce our British kiln dried logs, we're proud to say many happy camping nights have been spent at the Byecross Campsite.
