Strawberry Picking campsites

Taking your motorhome on a strawberry picking holiday can be great fun and is something all the family can join in with. There are many Strawberry Picking campsites.

We thought it would be a great idea for us to bring together two of our favourite activities, so we have compiled a short list of campsites near to some of our favourite strawberry fields.

Strawberry picking on a farm is a great way to get the kids outdoors and enjoying countryside activities.

As children we all remember those long hot sunny days over summer and the activities our families did when we were kids.

As adults, it’s a real pleasure to relive those bygone days and reminisce of days gone by.

The strawberry picking season runs from May to September, but due to the temperamental British weather, it’s always best to check the websites or call the farm before travelling to the picking fields.
