Hey!

Myself and a couple of friends want to go camping as we've just came back from the RELENTLESS NASS festival and LOVED it!
Does anyone know any campsites, preferably in the South West area (we're from Bristol), that will take a small group of 17 year olds? We actually are very well behaved, and I hate the fact our age cannot go on a lot of campsites just because other teenagers have ruined it for us already. 

 

SO PLEASE WRITE SUGGESTIONS OF CAMPSITES THAT WILL TKA EOUR AGE GROUP PLEASE?!

 

Ashleigh:)

I don't want to put you off but there's a big difference between a festival and a holiday campsite.

You camp at the festival to enjoy the music, drink, excitement etc - great. However, a holiday campsite is mostly for relaxing, sitting round doing nothing, riding bikes, going for walks - I doubt a group of 17 year olds are going to be interested in that, or am I being too cynical? (I know I wasn't when I was 17).

So, if you turn up at a campsite and try to make it like your festival (stereos full blast, late-night parties etc), that is when you will annoy other campers and that is why some sites don't want you.

Apologies, I don't mean you are going to do any of that noisy stuff but just consider why you want to go camping - it isn't one big party...sorry

This one might be of interest if your looking for something lively.

There are a lot of sites in the New Quay area, so you might find one that will take 17 yr olds

I know there is a big difference in a festival, but it was nice to have our freedom away from parents and just be with our friends. We don't want loud music or be up all night. We want to relax and chat, adventure and just enjoy the peacefulness before we go back to college:)

That's exactly the one I was going to suggest.  Never been, but have found it before when writing on a similar thread.

Newquay is quite far away, I'm hoping for somewhere closer to Bristol such as cheddar, gloucestershire, Somerset, minehead and brean etc. Hour drive away from Bristol or within?

You're far too sensible to be a teenager

Best bet is to do a search ('Camp Site Search' button, top-left) and then spend some quality time on the phone, calling sites to see if they'll have you...good luck!

Sometimes it's the campsite insurance that's the problem...you're not deemed an adult till you're 18 and so you need someone to take adult responsibility for you to satisfy insurance, health and safety and all that. Can you muster one friend that's 18 and willing to take responsibility for the rest of you?

Slightly more than an hour is hurston yurts in swanage.. We were there last year and had a group your age next to us..

Its great space for getting yourself in a corner out of the way.. 10-15 mins walk to the town..
