The Camping & Caravanning Club’s guide to the best of British produce. From grilling fresh fish on the barbecue after a day at the beach, or cooking up a feast for friends in a pot over a campfire, what we cook when we camp is a memorable part of the adventure.

Food can tell us the story of a place.

Each campsite featured is close to great locally grown or produced foods. It is full of details and first-hand descriptions of farmers’ markets, doorstep sales, farm shops, pick-your-own and even the campsites that produce their own food.
