Trying to find a good adults-only, dog-friendly, good-amenity park to take my OH to. It will be his first time camping ever, and he is not keen on the idea. So I'm looking for a fabulous spot which might convince him that camping isn't hell on earth, and maybe, just maybe, he might enjoy it :)
So, after a lot of searching, I think I have settled on The Old Oaks, Glastonbury. It has great reviews on here, and is often recommended.
I was about to book a pitch, but have found out that all pitches with EHU (essential if I am to convince hubby - we'll need a kettle, heater & way to charge the ipod/laptop) are "hardstanding". I am not from the UK and am not sure what this means, so I contacted the campsite and was advised that the pitch is gravel and that they would provide an extra groundsheet if required.
Has anyone camped here, and if so, what's it like to camp on gravel? I just can't imagine what it's like... does it feel hard & rough under the floor? Does it damage the tent? Can I use my regular tent pegs or do I need rock pegs? Can I use Deltas? Anything else I need to think of?
I've never pitched a tent on anything except grass or sand my whole life and have no idea what it's like to pitch on gravel.
Cheers!

It looks to me that there are non EHU pitches - I'd imagine that perhaps the flatter end field is now hardstanding and the two sloping fields are non EHU?
