Hi

I am really fed up of looking for campsites!  Have I left it too late to book a weeks camping in Aug (22nd for 7 nights) which is a nice family site with EHU for tents!  Everywhere seems full and there hardly seems to be any choice.  Fed up now!

We had such a nice week in May in South Lytchett Manor near poole - wish I could move that site to the Lakes!!

then our other week in July which we are supposed to be going with friends to the Gower - the site is not bookable - which worries me a bit as we are going sat of the first week of the hols - so if I can't get a Lake District site for Aug - I doubt I'll get a pitch on the day on that site - and would be gutted if we have to drive home again - so might not be able to go camping with them if they insist on that site!

Anyway just moaning - and fed up!

Any site suggestions for the lakes or the gower, suitable for young family, with EHU and not booked up!?!

Due to the credit crunch, a lot of people are opting for camping and caravaning holidays in the UK instead, so I am afraid you may be out of luck.

However, good luck with finding a suitable site and pitch!

thanks for your replies! (thanks for the suggestion Jasmine Park - but we need to be within a couple of hours of both Chorley and the Wirral)

We are now not going to the Gower - can't be doing with not booking in advance!  But our freinds are still going for it!

We've booked here http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=1459 for July and still searching for the August one!

Hi - I have been looking at Knights Stainforth and they have limited availabity - so at least thats more positive than full!!

Just wondering what there is to do in that area - that would keep a 5 year old amused?  We like walking and biking - but in small doses!  We also like houses/gardens and castles and the like.  There is the settle railway. 

I have learnt my lesson this time - and will book well in advance for school hols in future!! :)

Hi All

Ended up booking Park Cliffe near Windermere - non EHU - as decided location was the important thing!!  We have only got EHU this year - so we'll survive without - after all we have for the last 15 years!!  Just have quickly got used to having a cold cool box (and cold milk on cereal) and a bright strip light this year so far :)

Thanks for all comments! - now that the booking is out of the way I can look forward to the trips - campsite booking was sooooo much easier before the internet - I just browsed the Alan Rogers guide and that was that!
