Hi all , we are new to camping, Been out bought what we think are going to need plus more , All exited to be honest im more than the kids, Spent the last two days phoneing round to camp site and can't get nothing for this fri,sat and sun.

What camp site is this in Buxton?  Just want to go out and put the tent up and try it to see what else we will need.

 Did'nt think we'd have to book in advance to go camping or is this weekend busy being a bank holiday and normally no problems?

Hi Craign

Welcome to UKCS. You wont normally have a problem finding sites but you have to book a few weeks in advance for BH's and the school hols. Most get booked solid for holiday weekends if they are halfway decent. Keep trying as there will be cancellations.

This site sounds great, very family orientated. What site is it, we have considered going that way some time, but our kids are still quite young (4&5) and not sure if they will be up to all the walking? I used to go there alot when I was young, so would be nice to go back.

 hello everyone

we have had a phone call from kingsbury water park ccc cancelling our weekend break as the site is water logged, too late to get anywhere else now, hope the weather is good for you all

 hi. well we braved it and went! the weather was awful... it rained alot, the ground was sodden and the wind blew a gale! not to mention the cold!!

but we went with good friends, the kids loved it and the wine flowed like buxton spring water .

it wasnt the best start to tent life, but we had a laugh and made the most of it. rather like a baptism of fire, we were thrown in the deep end and still managed to come back smiling (and i warmed up after several hours of central heating and a very hot shower).

in all, im glad we went, your memories are what you make them, and i`d rather look back at our cold soggy camping trip and laugh about it, than look back on a bank holiday of DIY and housework!!

Good for you, and glad you enjoyed at least some of it. Certainly better than housework!
