Hi,

Lol, you sound like me, always on the fence when it comes to making decisions!!

Your idea of setting up while the kids are at school, plus the strapping friend to help sounds good to me, as once you have set up and done the running round, know the kids are settled, returning to the tent all set up with your boys I believe will be so relaxing.

I say go for it and enjoy your `me' time.

If I did this I could get the strapping friend to do the real thing with me at the campsite

Definitely the two nights, especially if you can arrive early and leave later on Sunday.

I did similar myself last year due to lunchtime and evening work commitments - booked a site only 40 minutes drive from home, arrived at 9am on the Friday morning, set up my drive-away awning and came back home again. Then when I left work at 7pm I went straight back and was there before 8pm without having to set anything up when I got there. And being able to leave later on the Sunday meant I had two full days and a really good break.

There's a site at Burton Fleming very near Brid, so great for the kids, pitches as large as you want, dog friendly including their Very large black lab.  It's Bobbybees caravan site. One field as you enter is vans, but two other fields with tents. It's a bit on the rustic side, but I love it. or  Wold farm on the cliffs nr Bempton, but you would have to confirm your dogs will be ok. They do accept dogs, but they must be well behaved. I camped their with my springer last year, £10 per pitch but that is for up to three people. Oh yes, def TWO nights

I would offer to come and help pitch at either of the above sites, but I won't be home till about six this evening. Offers there if that's any help OOPS, just noticed you wanted EHU, not an option at the two I mentioned. So Burton Constable would be ok with EHU and playground next to tent area.
