Hi,

Have just bought our new tent having begun camping last year and loving it. Just wondering about buying an electric lead - have read advice on which leads to buy but now wondering do most camp sites have hook up points? Are they expensive to use? Can't find this advertised on campsites I've looked at - doea that probably mean thay don't have hook ups? Totally new to this so any advice gratefully received. Thank you

PS - Is it worth joing the camping and caravanning club???

Also any recommendations for campsites in the north of england?

I think most campsites offer electric hook ups, look at the various camping websites and they usually give a price for a basic pitch, then a price for the electric hook up pitch. Some websites have a price which includes electric hook up you will have to look to see what the price includes. If you book late you may not get a hook up at the most popular sites, We have just booked for Newquay the first week of the summer holidays and there was only one pitch with hook up left.

Hope this helps

Where are you looking in the north of england, east or west and do you have children? If so what ages, only asking so I can recommend campsites,

Sorry - looking for campsites in or near the lake district or in northumberland - only the 2 of us going - not added to the family as yet!
Thank you

All you need to do realy , is go to campsite search at the top of this page and you will find loads of great sites. A lot depends on what you are looking for?

 Do you want a club on site or not , ? quite often a club can  mean quite a lot  of noise at one in the morning or later .

On electrics i dont mean to sound patronising , but  campsites will call it E.H.U for electric hook up.  Or in some cases a serviced pitch.

 Hope this helps  , and happy camping.
