Managing to fit in a quick break during a busy spring or summer can be just what you need, or if you want a longer break but need to stay close to home, you have plenty of choices close to the capital that will give you a chance to be immersed in nature without going too far.
Whether you want a campsite by the sea or by relaxing countryside, there are plenty of places to pitch up just a short drive from the capital. And you don't need to be a Bear Grylls-level camper to spend a few nights away with the family - there's even a few glamping options if you don't want to exert yourself too much.
