Just wondered after the last topic I put on about worse camping experiences what were peoples best camping experiences and what made them so good?

We have just returned from probably our best camping trip to date.  From check-in to reluctantly leaving it was fab.  The site was brill and our pitch was lovely surrounded by hedges with a lovely pub on site just a very shortly walk from us and an open air pool.  Lovely clean tidy site and nothing too much trouble.  Kids absolutely enjoyed their stay too.  The weather although could have been warmer was good.  All in all a brilliant stay at a fab park with all leaving after they had enjoyed their stay.

Our best was when we went to St Ives. We normally book 10 nights, starting from a Monday till the week following Thursday. This then gives us the option to stay longer so we can put the tent down dry or if the weather is good.

We ended up staying 16 nights because of the glorious sunshine, not a cloud in the sky. On one day a couple of ladies came round selling tickets for a plastic duck race on the river next to the site. We bought 2 for the kids. Lo and behold my youngests duck came first, out of 500, and he won £75. He was so chuffed. He still talks about it now some 7 years later.
