Can anyone suggest any good campsites in the South West region.It's just me and my son ( age  9) who go camping. Ideally, we're looking for a campsite that

  • does not have a club house
  • Is family friendly
  • Near to a canal or something else intersting that we can explore during the day
  • Does not have to have electric hook up
  • Preferably with showers.

We're experineced campers and have 3 sites that we use on a regukar basis...both close to home (30 - 40 miles away) for weekends away and a couple further afireld for proper holidays. Though this year we'd like to experience something new. Any recommendations??

 

We're in the Cotswold area.

 

Thanks in advance

Mel

Try the Camping and Caravanning Club site at Devises. It is well laid out and alongside the canal, with a nice walk past the Caen Hill Flight locks into Devises.

River Valley at London Apprentice near St Austell is a good clean site with excellent facilities and a covered pool.   It is ideal for cycling along the riverside which runs next to the site ,with various cycle routes from here.

This is where our van is kept, it is a well run and quiet site with a gorgeous camping meadow full of rabbits.  Haldon forest is adjacent with cycling through the woods and of course Dartmoor and the English Riviera are on your doorstep.  So much to see and do in such a small area, 2 years later we have barely scratched the surface.

Just looked at River Valley - looks great. What is it like in August? What are the roads like? Do you sit in traffic to get anywhere?

Tudor Caravan Park at Slimbridge - or is that too close to home? It's right on the Sharpness and Gloucester canal.
