Hi guys, just joined the site and am after a bit of advice please? Kind of a last minute decision to take the kids (0,4 and 6) camping for three weeks in August. We will also have our little pup with us.

I've taken them camping by myself before so I'm not worried about that but I have no idea where to go! This is my ideal list of wants -

As quiet as possible
In/near a forest
Back to nature style so definitely no evening entertainment sites!
Clean toilets and water supply
UK

Any ideas please? I'm in the north west and am open to going anywhere. Maybe even splitting the trip into three and spending each week at a different place?

Would really appreciate any help :)

Try one of the camping and caravanning sites inland though not near the coast.
They are very good just give one a try.

Look at the cl/cs sites, much quieter. All are different and offer different standards (and prices) but some have excellent clean facilities and reviews. I personally would split the holiday as 3 weeks in one place could mean a lot of travelling off site to see things.

Visit Llandrindod Wells! Great scenery, walks, cycling, red kites. Ideal for exploring Mid Wales.

Have a look at Cae Du in Beddgelert at the heart of Snowdonia.

You can find the information about the site using the camp site search button at the top of the page.

It is a lovely site - has nice shower/toilet block, you can camp next to river which is lovely and clean ( I used to swim in it with my children ).

Short walk into Beddgelert village itself.

Or you could choose Beddgelert Forest, this is run by Forest Holidays and it to is lovely and a short walk from Beddgelert.

You are within easy reach of Caernarfon, Porthamdog, Llanberis and Anglesey for days out.

How about Anglesey, have stayed at quite a few over the years in August and many are fairly quiet as are the splendid beaches. Nowhere on the island is too far away as is Snowdonia.

Good site we have stayed at are Darfan rhos, Point Lynas, Ty Newydd, White Lodge and Bodfan Farm. But our favourtite has to be Kingsbridge if you can get a spot in The Meadow where the pitches are seperated off by hedges and it feels like you are on your own. the facilities there are first class.
