Get into the great outdoors with this inspirational and practical guide to camping. Includes a guide to all the National Trust's sites – from camping to glamping and beyond – as well as the equipment, recipes and fun games you'll need.

This is a practical and inspirational guide to camping. It's about getting outside and enjoying the Great British Outdoors, whether you want to do it under canvas or in a glamorous yurt.

As well as a guide to all the locations and types of campsite the National Trust has – many in stunning scenery – there's information about everything from the best kind of tent to what kind of boots will keep blisters at bay. There's also a brilliant range of recipes that you can cook outdoors, even pizzas and cakes, so you can eat like a king in the wilderness.

There are games and outdoor adventures for all ages – pond-dipping and tracking wildlife get you up close to nature, while kite-flying and building a woodland den brings out the adventurer in everyone.
