A family-operated campsite in Herefordshire has been recognised as the Best Campsite in the West Midlands at the 2025 Campsites.co.uk Camping and Glamping Awards, an annual programme that highlights high-performing camping, glamping, and touring destinations across the United Kingdom.
Haywood Farm Caravan and Camping Park, located near Ross-on-Wye, received the regional title and was also named runner-up in the Best Family Campsite category for the West Midlands. The awards were announced in 2025, with organisers noting an increase in quality standards across the sector.
Campsites.co.uk founder Martin Smith said the awards are intended to acknowledge operators who maintain consistent quality.
“Our annual awards give us the opportunity to celebrate the UK’s best campsites, and this year’s standards feel higher than ever,” Smith told the Hereford Times.
“Each of the winning sites stand out for the care they put into being consistently excellent. My thanks and congratulations to all of the winners for adding some much-needed adventure to everyday life.”
Haywood Farm Caravan and Camping Park is known for attracting family travellers, offering facilities such as a play area, games room, football pitch, and access to nature trails.
According to the site’s travel listing, it holds a 4.8-star rating, with all reviewers recommending the location. One guest commented, “The whole site was beautifully maintained. Kids loved it and so did we. Everything you need in a campsite.”
For operators in the outdoor hospitality sector, recognition through awards programmes can contribute to visibility and competitive differentiation. Industry observers note that such accolades often support marketing efforts, strengthen brand credibility, and influence booking decisions among domestic holidaymakers seeking verified, family-oriented destinations.
The Campsites.co.uk awards also reflect broader consumer interest in varied accommodation styles, ranging from low-impact off-grid stays to fully serviced holiday parks and glamping experiences, offering insight into market trends and visitor expectations for the coming year.
