We planned to go camping this weekend, but didn't want to book too early in case we jinxed the weather - now I can't find a camp site with space for Friday and Saturday night LOL - have called about 12 sites so far!!

For a weekend trip, just a couple of days. For a week or two, that takes a little planning, so, a month or so.

We had the same problem last week Katybean. Only decided Wednesday that we were going and spent all day trying to find somewhere. Got sorted in the end and had a great time.

Keep trying and enjoy you weekend..!
