oh flippin eck......

Booked weekend away fri-tues, campsite called and cancelled this morning as the site is water logged.

Campsite could not apologise enough and refunded our deposit!!! what superstars

contemplating booking somewhere else but looking at the weather for the weekend..... may just stay  at home. i would imagine we would have to be very lucky to get a good site at such short notice.

just realised that we may not camp now till 09.....yikes

feel like this year has been wasted with the weather. only managed to camp in June.

anyone feel the same?

Same here we have had 2 trips, 1 in June (we got wet!) and 1 in August (we got wet!).  I'm so disappointed.  This was our 4th year camping and it's been the worst!  The year we got the tent we went away so many weekends and had great weather every time.  What are we going to do ... buy a van?  No way!  I'm praying for a nice September!

weather doesnt look too bad up north this weekend

We have had 4 weekend trips so far this year and only got rained off the first one when the tent leaked  we havent exactly had sunshine either

xoopsx

We've had several weekends away this year (about 5) and a week in Norfolk.  We have had good & bad weather, Easter was AWFUL, wind, rain, sleet, hail & snow but then we had a weekend at Trentfield Farm early this year and the weather was lovely and sunny.  Most of our otther trips have been sunshine & showers but we have been very lucky that it's never rained when we have pitched or packed away so on the whole we aren't complaining.

We are away again for a weekend next month at Callow Top so hoping for nice weather to finish off our camping trips for this year - boo hoo.

Good on the site for making the call

It would have been so much easier for them to have kept your money & allowed you to suffer a rotten stay.

We are supposed to be going away tomorrow, but spoke to site this morning and it doesn't sound good. They have cancelled bookings for midweek in the hope that the ground will recover for the weekend - not sure if that will do any good as the forecast says rain again today!

I don't mind if we have a few rain showers when we are away, but I don't do mud.

Only managed two weekends away this year because of awful weather. OH is seriously considering a caravan for next year.(Traitor).

There is a site that has posted on the Sites thread saying that one of their fields has dried out and therefore they now have space for this weekend, worth a look?
