LIVING. LUXURY CAMPING<br />
WIGWAM HOLIDAYS, NATIONWIDE<br />
Sustainable, affordable glamping luxury – that’s what<br />
Wigwam offers in abundance. Chose from 70 sites across the<br />
UK, from the edge of a Scottish Loch to a sun-kissed Cornish<br />
beach, and airstream trailers to safari tents. Cabins are<br />
constructed in the UK using sustainable timber, from the<br />
Wee Braven (sleeps three) to the Big Chief (sleeps five), and<br />
dogs are welcome in most locations. If you’re really looking<br />
for a little luxury, check out the sites with hot tubs or if<br />
you’re ready to explore, choose a site within a National Park<br />
for activities galore. wigwamholidays.com<br />
WINDMILL CAMPSITE,<br />
ISLE OF WIGHT<br />
One for the adventurers; Windmill is located just<br />
under the historic Carisbrooke Castle, central to<br />
the island. Picturesque views, long lazy walks,<br />
grazing horses and quirky accommodation to<br />
choose from; from renovated shepherd’s huts<br />
(Ellie and Millie respectively) to Galahad, the<br />
Westland Wessex XT469 helicopter that, after<br />
retiring from active duty, has been transformed<br />
into a fun retreat – the bed is even in the cockpit<br />
dome, perfect for stargazing. The site also offers<br />
a Showershack enriched with solar power electric<br />
and water, The Spudomatic; a jacket potato oven,<br />
and Big Bertha; a large pizza oven!<br />
