Answer
Hi, best wishes to the lovely Nene and proper Northampton boots. Bad news though....it would be very difficult to find a campsite anywhere in UK or even in most of Europe or the USA that will accept bookings from people under 18 years old. It's a shame because just outside of Northampton is Billing Aquadrome which is a great place to stay in chalets caravans or tents.

Sad but that's just how it is. Even with good Blindell Northampton shoes on they won't let you stay if you're both under 18 ...now how on Earth would that name come up?
You can however camp in the grounds of Youth Hostels if you join the YHA.....link on the bottom of here after all the bad news.

So it's not the amazing help you really wanted but what is amazing is the number of people who camp out wild all over UK perfectly illegally.
It's at your own risk and it doesn't have the facilities of a camp site but for a night or two away if you have a tent and sleeping bags it can be good fun if you don't get caught doing it....wild camping, that is.
Illegal camping.
Here's all about it and it might not suit what you want but it's there as an option anyway if you are very careful.
Just pretend it says Northampton...it's exactly the same as in Kent, Essex, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire, the wilds of Yorkshire or my own county of Hertfordshire after my Dad moved really deep south from sunny Northampton (??? Funny...thought the Nene and all those lakes came from rain or something. Oh right...it rains...coooh, fancy that!) to the high hills of Hertfordshire before I was born.

Here's another one for the Medway which is even wetter than Northampton...it's near the east Kent marshes

WW1 & WW2 historical sites in the UK?
CLAIRE
I would like to take my son on holiday and include a little WW1 & WW2 location sites. He is really into all of this stuff at the moment so I might as well embrace it and teach him as much as I can. Can any one tell me the best place to take him in the UK and what I could take him to see. I have seen the Battle of the Somme location in France and it gave me goose bumps, I would like him to experience such knowledge but here in the UK.
Answer
Well the wars were not fought in the UK nor were we invaded other than the Channel Islands. So there are no sites as such. Bombs were dropped but all the bomb sites were cleared 50 years ago and new buildings erected. The ruins of Coventry Cathedral are still there though.
There are no graves like there are in France or Belgium. Nor Internment/Death camps like there are in Eastern Europe to go round. I believe there is a POW camp in Scotland which is preserved but it is not open to the public.
There are war memorials in every village, town and city from the 'great war' (WW1) some are no more than a few stones and a plaque others much more ornate. All list names of those who went to war and did not return.
There is of course the Imperial War museum which you can google and wikipedia will have references There are sites around London which they more recently found would attract tourists like the Cabinet War rooms. But you will already know about these places.
You may find a disused aerodrome with a nissan hut still standing but I doubt it will be open to the public. We have moved on, the graves are abroad and I have visited several myself, all beautifully tended.
The underground shelters were mostly filled in. Most of the defences were removed but there are some on the Kent coast around Dover. 00
