Camping? Where to go

Captain Chaos · 28 Jul 2011 at 21:17

Hi all.

Looking at having a go at Glamping!! Got all the gear so need somewhere to go in the uk for this weekend.

Im in the midlands so want to stay within a 3 hour drive of say birmingham if possible.

Got a 3 year old so would be good to have thing close by for her to do.

Electric hook up also required

Any ideas or recommendations????????

I am thinking of heading to the lakes with my girlfriend, this campsite looks pretty good at around £28 a night (including electric). Not sure how far it is in the car from you though (it is right on the southeast of lake windermere).

The New Forest is nice, don't think there's too many hills there if you like hill walking though, lake district or yorkshire dales is really nice IMO.

It's ludicrously expensive to camp down here (Dorset) and if you camp in the Forest you are then miles away from the beach and have to face holiday traffic just to get anywhere. As a complete seasoned camper, I'd much rather head up to Mumbles or similar

Trouble is , i hate skegness lol
