Hey, we have a tent and would like to go camping for the odd night here and there with the kiddies, is there anywhere in the south (brighton - weymouth and anywhere in between!) that allows 1 nights stay only?

The only time I've ever had a minimum nights issue is over a bank holiday weekend.

Good luck and enjoy!!!

Afaik, C&CC sites don't have minimum stays. Try Graffham in West Sussex - fabulous woodland site in a lovely area.

I rang Wareham Forest Touring Park yesterday and they had one nighters left.  We wanted 2, so they couldn't accommodate us.

Am sure most campsites would take you if you ring last minute for availability, they would rather fill the pitches than go empty.

More and more sites seem to be having a minimum number of nights - we take 1 night bookings, even on bank holidays - because we found that someone may want say friday nights / someone else saturday and often someone else Sunday, so we scrapped the minimum of 3 nights last year and have found it works well for us. All sites are different and it may not for whatever reason be possible at some, but we dont have a problem with it, although i dont think we are quite in the right part of the country for you this time.

Happy camping/caravanning everyone !

The New Forest used to be a favourite weekend spot for us. Then Forest Holidays introduced a minimum 3 night rule for bookings and it meant taking a day off work or turning up on the offchance on a Friday night.

After trying several non-FH sites in the area and not really finding one that suited us, we gave up going. That's how we discovered Graffham - we were looking for an alternative to Hollands Wood.

We did a 1 night stop off at Shrubbery near Lyme Regis a couple of weeks ago as a stop over on the way to Cornwall. Really liked the site. Will be writing a review when I get a few minutes.
