Ok, so I've browsed like a wee mad thing on here and on the C&CC website, and have pages full of scribbled notes of campsite info, but I still can't find what I want - can anyone help?
I'm looking for a site that meets some rather specific requirements and I'm having a bit of difficulty juggling them .
1. Probably most importantly, I'll be within about 3 weeks of my due date so would like to stay not more than 30-45 mins away from Leeds General Infirmary!
2. My husband is dropping us off and picking us up a week later, but I'd like a fairly level site where I don't have to haul water uphill :-) I'd like toilets, so I don't spend too much time emptying the cassette thing, don't mind about showers as I can use the caravan one.
3. I'd really like a playground for my daughter either on site or nearby, BUT I'd much prefer a small quiet site rather than lots of regimented rows of caravans. We stayed at Greenhills in Bakewell a couple fo weeks ago and it was just too big/busy/close to neighbours/too many big kids bossing the littlies around in the play area/elbow to elbow in the loos. This seems to be the difficult requirement as most of the sites with play areas I've come across seem to be 100+ pitches, and in the school holidays I expect they'll be mobbed.
4. Ideally there'd be shops for basic supplies within walking distance (or, to be more honest by this point, in waddling distance ;-). It's not vital though, as I'll have access to a car for part of the week so will be able to get out and about.
My shortlist has Ripley Caravan Park (too big?), Woodhouse Farm (too big?), Brown Bank at Silsden, Riverside Caravan Park at Pateley Bridge (the pitches seem to have that regimented rows thing going on!) ....
Any suggestions, ladies and gentlemen, please?
