We will be trying our first October/November camp this year. I am investing in a Polycotton, and I've already got a Delonghi 4kw gas heater (Yes it does have all the safety features!), so I'm hoping it will be a success, and then it would be great to be able to camp with friends for New Year!
I like the idea of a Halloween camp - Halloween happens to be my Birthday, so it would make a nice change. Don't do much in the way of celebrating nowadays, as I usually have to host a party for the kids or ferry them to one, so I may actually get to kick-back and have a drink for a change Will definitely give the cake a miss though – that amount of candles near a tent is a definite no, no!

What does go on at campsites at that time of year? Are there many campers desperate enough to leave their warm homes behind?

Won't a 4kw heater blow the ehu?

I camped over the New Year weekend last year, and survived to tell the tales.

Now that I have the gear for cold weather camping, I have decided to extend the camping season,  and shall camp in Nov, Dec and Feb when I have holidays booked.

Hello again Tommy. We went to North Yorkshire last October and during the day was great as it was still fairly warm but as mentioned above the short nights can be a bit of problem.  It got dark around 7ish and boy did the temp drop fast.  We could not believe one morning we awoke to a light dusting of groung frost!!  I would not let this put you off as long as you are prepared for this and have lots of warm clothes.  Our last camp will be Pillaton Hall in September.  With the kids having their October holidays even later this year, we have booked to go to Turkey for some sunshine.  Have you managed to get that monty out yet?

Hi KK , I have just found out that i am getting the September weekend off work so my wife and kids insisted that i go back to Blair Castle again , so it's all booked for the Fri / Sat / Sun and we'll get to try our Monty 6 at last !
