We go to Sherwood Forest Holiday Park which is 20/30 mins away from home. As o/h works weekends she can go to work and we still have a break without her losing holidays.

Once we've pitched we could be anywhere as far as we are concerned.

We did this a couple of weekends last year to test our new tent. It was quite refreshing to see our area through a visitors eyes.

We had planned to do it again this year and camp near to a country pub we like but OH is too busy at work :-(

I am lucky to have a few good sites very close to home, and have done a number of very pleasant short trips.

I used a simpler set up for such short trips, such as without windbreak or camp kitchen.

If I had a garden with grass, I would have camped out there for sure!

I live less than ten miles from Loch Lomond. I intend to take my little boy to a site there next week so we can try out the tent and get a feel for camping. It's a really beautiful site, has raving reviews, and it's right by my house, so it will be a good place to go on a whim when the weather looks good some weekend.

I went camping at the CCC site at Luss a few years ago & that was lovely.

We went looking a few weeks ago & found 3 great sites within 14 miles of home but could have been miles away so hoping to go for a weekend soon.

We will be camping close to home as we are hoping to put our new tent up tomorrow so may just camp out for the night.
