Hi Jeannie, welcome to UKCS.  You will regret joining, you will soon be addicted and unable to leave like the rest of us. 

This post will probably get moved to the "Camping under canvas" section, but don't worry, you will soon get to know your way around here.

Hi Jeannie,

Welcome to UKCS - hope you've got broadband 'cos you'll spend a lot of time on this site, it's VERY addictive! Like you, I didn't discover camping till I got to the wrong side of 40, and I've been hooked now for 10 years! Hope you'll have many happy days in your new tent -

Eunice

The Rosetta site at Peebles has just applied for planning permission to double its size, sounds like it's going to become more commercialised.

Hi

Welcome to UKCS. There's a great wee site at Beecraigs Park in West Lothian, quite a few up my way in the east neuk (Sauchope at Crail is particularly nice), and there's Woodlands at Carnoustie.

There's nothing wrong with admitting I am a UKCS addict!

Jeannie

I meant to ask, how old is your son?

Also, I know it may be a long way off, but if you can make even a few days at Bruce's (I think the Edinburgh kids go back about the 15th, no?), you'll have a ball. We've been twice now, and it's a regular before our schools go back around the 20th.

Lots of like minded people who love camping, lots of kids for your son to play with, fabulous site with great facilities and great owners. It's a really relaxing meet, a few evening get togethers round the camp fire (no pressure to join in if you don't want to) and great hosts
(How much discount am I on now, Als & Papa )

This is why next year's rally is so close to being fully booked already!

Also, keep an eye on the ideas for 2008 thread, the plan is at least one meet a month next year, so there should be plenty of choice.
