This will be  our first camping holiday, and I have been trying to find a campsite for us and some friends in the South West, either Gloucestshire, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire.

I have looked at lots of sites but none quite fit the bill, so I thought you experts might be able to help. We want a family friendly site, children are 3 -5 years old. With some amenities like a shop, maybe take away service, good toilet and shower facilities.

I don't want to have to pay double for our 750cmx330cm tent, nor (as lovely as it would be) do we want there to be a river or lake on the campsite for fear of the children wandering off.

Sites either seem to be full on, karoke in the evenings types to a couple of pitches by a pub. Is there anything in between?

We stayed here a couple of years ago and loved it. It wasn't in the summer holidays though. It is a bit out of the way so you would need to use the car. Really lovely place though.

Welcome to ukcs

Edited to say that there is a fishing pond but it is not any where near where our tent was pitched.

Size wise - the 2 sizes are added are are less than 12 - so no problem.

Price includes hookup and we do not charge for children under 18

Plenty of places to get to from Ang and Ken's too.  I live 15 miles away but the coast either North Somerset or Dorset is not too far away plus you have the Mendips, Cheddar, Wookey Hole and Exmoor, Exeter, Bristol Zoo within an hour or two as well.

I'd bite their hands off for a seasonal pitch if we didn't live so close!

 how about warren farm at brean, great for the kids, lots of play areas, some animals, that our kids loved putting to bed each night, shop, indoor play area, small cinema, entertainment if wanted, cross the road to the beach.

 Thanks for all your responses, what a helpful site!

Decisions decisions, I guess we need to book soon wherever we decide to go.
