The results are based on the average summer temperature, the cost of a three-night stay and the availability of onsite shops.
As well as the rating out of five, the percentage of people who would recommend staying at the campsite, and the number of outdoor activities within 10km of the campsite were also considered.
Number one on the list is Orcaber Farm Caravan and Camping Park near Settle.
The camping site is outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is a great location for keen hikers and adventurers.
There's lots to see from mountain peaks like Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside to see, as well as caves and waterfalls.
It's easy to get to thanks to the Carlisle train station.
They also offer homemade pizzas and takeaway food on Saturday nights.
You can camp there from £14 per night, which includes large, flat electric pitches (10 metres by 15 metres) – and most have a picnic table.
Also available are camping pods which can sleep up to four people and are equipped with lighting and electric sockets for charging devices.
