Hello there,

I know it's short notice.......does anyone know of a campsite which will allow just 2 nights over the BH wkend?  My hubby works Sat mornings so we cannot go until around 11 ish. I know most sites are min 3 night stay.  We live in Wigan and will travel 2 hours so Staffs/ Lakes/ Derbyshire/Yorkshire all fine.  We have 2 children so adult only sites are no good and our tent is a fairly large dome.

Any advice will be gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried Park Coppice Caravan Club in the Lakes at Coniston.....site they don't have any restriction...... you don't need to be amember and if in a tent they dont charge you the extra non member fee.  Is it this weekend you wanted to go as if so I'll look on the site and see what they have left or give them a ring as sometimes they have pitches even when it says full on line...... or you could try the C & CC.

The other site in Caravan Club that allow tents are Chester, Rowntree Park at york, Knaresborough, Great Yorkshire showground at HarrogateLower Wensleydale at Leyburn, Thirsk Racecourse, Kielder water, Grin Low at Buxton.  Hope this is of some help.

What I know some sites are doing is still charging for 3 nights, but allowing Sat-Tues. Although this may not seem that good a deal if you're back at work Tuesday morning, it can allow you to spend most of Monday at the site, rather than being herded off at 11am or so.

Thanks to all who replied, think I'll try the few mentioned by Sue and if they are fully booked I'll give it up as a bad job. 

It does seem a little unfair though, some of us just can't do 3 nights.

 Good site ///

Th National trust sites don't take bookings so you could ring them on a Saturday morning and see if there is still room..  also Fisherground in Eskdale  do not take bookings.

No, I tried all of the sites suggested above and had no luck.  Fisherground was mentioned and they don't take bookings but it's quite a way (and over a scary mountain) to get there and find they are full so I've decided to admit defeat and plan to go next weekend instead.

Once again, thanks for all your replies.

Happy Bank Holiday weekend to anyone who has been lucky enough to get in somewhere.
