The site in Wales took the top spot when Time Out put together a list of the best campsites in the country. 5 Top Of The Woods is found in the Pembrokeshire countryside Credit: Instagram/topofthewoods 5 The on-site barn is used for picnicking and there's also a cinema Credit: Instagram/topofthewoods Top of the Woods is described as a "nature retreat across 27 acres nestled by the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, surrounded by 325 acres of ancient & conifer Welsh woodlands, waterfalls, and close to wild beaches." The campsite inspires campers to get back to nature with eco-friendly accommodation. On offer are Safari Lodges, Nature Domes, or unique Pioneer Camps. Each of the glamping options includes self-catering amenities, cosy wood burners, BBQ and fire pits which are perfect for sitting by during the sunset. It's not just a camp site - there's also lots of activities like the 'Vintage Barn Cinema'. The Banquet Barn has been transformed into a barn cinema, with straw bale seating. It shows classic, family favourite films as well as the occasional more grown-up films every Saturday and Wednesday at 6pm and 8pm - which is entirely free for guests. There's also summer yoga classes so guests can start off their camping holidays calmly and well-stretched. Across the site there is table tennis, basketball, badminton, and a games meadow for the kids run around and play some football. There are also board games that can be taken away and played by campers throughout the day. The beachfront Croatian campsite set fo multi-million revamp 5 There's a resident pig family at the campsite Credit: Instagram/topofthewoods 5 Each accommodation type is self-catered Credit: Instagram/topofthewoods For anyone wanting to venture outside of the campsite, there's also a guide to a secret waterfall trail - which is a five mile round-trip. There's lots of wildlife around the campsite from owls to to woodpeckers and bats. But the campsite owners also have a family of pigs, two dogs and a Norwegian cat - all of whom like a bit of fuss according to the website. It's not just for family holidays either, the campsite also offers retreats for workplaces. It says "mix and match our indoor and outdoor spaces for work, presentations, networking, feasting, wellbeing activities and socials. "Digitally detox round the campfire - while benefiting from fast wifi in the work areas." The cheapest stay is if you bring your own tent and pitch it in the meadows which per adult is £16 per night. There's also a jumbo pitch option which can accommodate two tents for £15 per night. Here are the UK's best campsites that have 10/10 reviews. And the tiny campsite on the edge of a National Park named the best value in the UK.
