Hi Kimmie

Im in lancashire,but dont mind travelling anywhere really. I have had a brief look through the guides but there are so many to choose from. Thought id look for a reccomendation.

It would be easier for us to give you a recomendation, if you gave us a rough idea of the area you would like to holiday, even if just to narrow it down, Im also from lancashire, and travel 350mls to my site each year, but you may not want to drive that far, please help us to help you, or yu,l just end up with hundreds of recomendations, and confuse you even more.

We stay just outside newquay, at HENDRA HOLIDAY PARK, (reviews on here)  I can recomend it, so worth checking out.    good luck.

If you are not familiar with your tent and you have not camped with your family before, it is a good idea to maybe start with a trial run. First of all, have a practice at putting the tent up in your garden (or someone elses if you have not got space) and if the weather is mild, have a go at sleeping outside - it will help the little ones get used to it.

Then find a site close to home and have a weekend break. This will give you a taste of how it goes for you, and show you what else you may need in the way of kit, or if you have bought some items that are actually not needed. Being close to home you can pop back for anything you have forgotten, (or to a nearby camping shop!) and it is not far to travel if you need to come home early.

This way, you should have ironed out any wrinkles in your kit and your camping routine, before going off on a full length holiday 100s of miles away.

Prices depend on several things

1) facilities on site

2) where in the country you go to

3) if you want hookup or not

4) tents - can sometimes be charged on the size

5) time of year.

Take all of these things into account and you could pay anything from say £10 per night to even £40 per night.

Find an area you might like to visit and check out on the search as many as possible sites.  Get in touch and see how they vary on price.
