Hi all

Myself and my fiance have recently acquired a tent and are looking to go on our first outing shortly.

We are looking to visit somewhere in Derbyshire (not too far from home to be safe) and have looked at many of the camp sites on here.

The trouble we are having are that there are so many different ones to choose from!

Can anyone give us any hints or tips on what type of site we should be looking for on our first trip and have any of you visited a site in the area that they could reccommend.

We arent too fussy about local attractions etc as we are from the area and the main point of this is to test drive our tent (and as im sure ourselves)

Many Thanks

For me I'd look at a site with decent sized pitches so we're not really crammed in as I hate that when camping, showers a few so we don't need to queue! nice and clean and preferably free as its less faff than having to mess around with token, money etc, nice clean toilets. And near to a pub or cafe because we're lazy and don't cook in the tent, we have a stove but only use that for making tea/coffee.

Have fun.

Thanks frootbat,

To be honest the local pub was top of our priorities!

do agree about the washing facilities as a grubby shower/toilet would be the last thing we wanted.

Have you had a look at the campsite search feature on this site it is well worth having a look. Campsite choice is purely down to price and personal choice (facilities available) and what you want to geat from your time away. If it is your first time away take some time to consider the reviews as you can easily be put off by a "bad" site as much as you will be totally hooked if you find a "great" site.

Hi Nigel16

Yes had a look and a few seem to stand out more than others. Could spend more time deciding on where to stop than actually stopping somewhere the way how we change our minds though!
