Hi all.

Was fed up with losing so much money last year and the year before that by paying deposits and not being able to go due to adverse weather conditions.

Don't get me wrong, I am not a fair weather camper by any long shot but every weekend I booked a site in advance and paid a deposit or the full amount the weekend weather was always terrible and had a cancel with a loss of funds.

So what I am asking is if there are any sites which don't need a deposit down the Gower or anywhere in Wales for that matter?

Thanks in advance

Dave

I think thats why sites charge deposits!

If they didn't they would be half empty every wet week that came along and have little income.

I wasn't asking why they charge deposits mate!!

Just want to know where they don't, so if you don't know of any fine, if you do feel free to post.....

P.S fforest fields don't charge deposits, all they ask is for you to contact them in advance if you can't make it.

Hi daisbuys!

I was just about to recommend Fforest Fields (best site EVER imho!) but see you already know about that! I recently found Oxwich Camping Park in the Gower do not ask for a deposit. I've not been there myself but it's one i'll definately go to in the future seeing as the reviews on here are good. They do have a website but you'll have to google it to find it. HTH!

Hey thanks Nicola, that's the kind of response I was looking for, thanks ever so much!

I booked Fforest fields for the end of May so am looking forward to that, will now try and book down Oxwich for a weekend.

Thanks again.

Dave
