we have had to cancel our  weeks holiday because my son is secheduled into have an operation within 4 weeks and two weeks complete rest afterwards so are thinking of trying to get in somewhere for a couple of weekends in summer and camp for a week or five days half term week

what was it like this time of year should i not even be thinking of camping in oct half term maybe i am nuts whats your opinions and advice thanks

We did it a couple of years ago in our tent, and had a great time - it was only the rain on the next to last day that defeated us and we left a day early.   Site was pretty wet to start with, and on the next to last afternoon it started to rain - and it teamed all afternoon/evening/night.   The next morning I paddled to the loo block.    Everyone was packing up it was that bad   Howling wind, and torrential rain, so we packed up a day early.    Prior to that we had been having a a great time.
Last year we took our camper, and had a great time.   Had better weather than we had had in August.   Ok a bit chilly out of the sun, but just wrapped up.

Both times we went on a site with plenty to do - last year it was Flamingoland, and we are hoping to go back this October.

Just take plenty of warm clothes, and warm bedding and you will have a great time.
