Hi - first post I'm afraid, so be gentle !

I'm looking for a site within a 3 hr drive radius of Chester and ideally want a very quiet picturesque site near a stream or river, where we can have a camp fire and lie out under the stars :-)

Not too worried about amenities, the corner of a friendly farmer's field would do, but not having been camping since I was in the scouts 30 years ago, I have an idealised view of what I want.

Any recommendations greatly received with thanks, and piccies even better !

Many thanks

Jonny

Hi Jonny, try this site, web site does not do justice but the site is great for kids and you can check the reviews on the forum. We found the owners very sound, take lots of clothes for kids and do not follow sat nav unless you want hardknott pass. We go from Oldham & it takes about 2.5hrs around the south end of lake district. Also has camp fires

good luck and if you get any other ones let me know as our son loves playing in streams, and aventure parks / zips - just like the above

HI Misuja, please note:

Important: When posting details of a camp site, please ensure you link to their UKCampsite.co.uk listing, not direct to their website, to enable reviews etc to be read and left!

We went here at May half term - has everything you're after.

Very strange, Lyn Gwynant suggested by Chris is about a mile or so from the site I suggested.

Even stranger, we are going to try Lyn Gwynant from Friday to Sunday in the Motorhome.

Did you enjoy it? Lyn Gwynant has been my favourite campsite for about the last twenty years, unfortunately the mrs won't do non ehu camping so I don't get many chances to go now. Heading up there with a few friends For August bank holiday to do some mountain biking, can't wait.
