If you are a member of the Camping & Caravanning Club (C&CC) you have access to Certified Sites (CS) which are often under £10 per night but have very basic facilities - usually just a chemical disposal point and a tap although some have electric hook up, toilets and showers.

A word of advice - Easter weekend usually has a minimum stay (3 or 4 nights at most sites) and as it is school holiday it will be expensive and many sites are already fully booked. You can expect to pay up to £40 per night at Easter at some sites!!

Thanks Helen - £40 a night, that's madness! Appreciate the heads up. Do you think it's worth while becoming a member of the C&CC?

No i wouldnt bother to be honest , just for weekends . I joined one year and only used a camp once , saving £2 a night.

Which areas are you looking at , you will always find that camps on the net are usually more expensive...shop around camping books etc , im sure you will find some basics for a tenner or less a night

I'm with you Keely - I wouldn't pay £40 a night either but I know some sites that will chrage that for Easter/Bank Holiday (and I know you weren't having a go at me!!)

Personally, I think it's worth being a member of C&CC because their Family Deal works out cheaper for us. Also having access to CL and CS and rally/meets and Temporary Holiday sites makes it a cheap way for our family to camp.

Have a look at what the Clubs offer and then see if it's right for you and your family.

Hi

Where abouts North west are you?

Amy

fron farm in north wales, near mold is lovely and its reasonable as well, you pay per person and i think under 3's are free, so much to do for your little one, my kids love it there, another great place is greenacres farm park in queensferry, bit more expensive, but it includes admission into the farm where there is so much going on, we have to drag my kids away from the place if i need to go shopping, also at night they have a kids disco, bbq's etc, some of the reviews from past few years arent that good, but last summer they really cracked down on noise etc, we are going may half term, all of august, every weekend in sept and oct, and  have been going for the past 4 yrs.

all can be found on the review section here.

good luck.

Happy Camping
