This year’s Easter bank holiday weekend falls between Friday 3 April and Monday 6 April. While this seems to be quite a while a way, spring will be here much sooner than you realise.
For many, the bank holiday weekend means four days of pure bliss, away from work, and a time to reconnect with loved ones. Therefore, now is a great opportunity to ensure you make plans so you can make the most out of this long weekend.
What better way to make the most out of this weekend than finding a fabulous campsite?
Camping is a great opportunity for many, as sleeping outdoors, can be a meaningful way to appreciate nature and disconnect from modern day life and inconveniences.
Here in the West Midlands, we are actually spoiled for choice, as in 2025, the Camping and Glamping Awards took place and one West Midlands campsite came out on top, Somer Wood Caravan Park.

So peaceful, I would definitely recommend for a weekend when you need to go off grid, take a couple of bottles, light a fire and watch the sun set. We hired a bell tent which came with an air bed, it was really roomy for the three of us. Harry is wonderful, really friendly and attentive. Great location. We’ll absolutely be returning.' | Google

The littleuns had such a good time running and playing in between each others tents, and the field was large enough for games, toys, eating, barbecues, fire pits, etc. Lots of great amenities with showers, loos, refrigerator and kettles, etc. Farm and farm shop close by for country adventures and food bits. Would recommend :)' | Google
