Hello All

We are newbies to this site and camping in general. After all the new changes to school holidays not being approved and the price of holiday packages in general, we have decided to give camping a go. The brother-in-law and his family go all over the country and love it, so we thought we'd get in on it too.

We went along to Go Outdoors for a look at all the tents and equipment and decided something like the Hi Gear Kalahari 8 would be just the job for two fairly large adults and two big children. (7 & 11)

We were fortunate (I think) to find the exact same tent with porch, 2 carpets, footprint and just about everything we will need on ebay, so we have taken the plunge! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121147745189?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1732wt_1200

We are just in the process of going looking to book our first trip and go through all the gear and have a practice pitch etc on the garden. We love going to Filey on day trips, so recommendations for nice campsites in that area would be great.

Wish us luck!

John & Claire

Use the campsite search function (above) and have a quick look through all in the Filey area, when you find one that sounds good and has the facilities you need add it to your Virtual Brochure. (which is like a bookmark)

You then have (let's say half a dozen) to have a more in-depth read through.

Most sites have a lot of entries so you can build up a picture of what it's like from many opinions rather than just one or two.

As always the best way is to give it a try but a bit of homework does help, it might stop you turning up with your EHU on a site that doesn't have electricity or your Dog to one that doesn't allow them.
