Good evening campers.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary next summer. Our present to each other will be a 2 week camping tour and we need your help please. We live in the Bedfordshire area and would like to tour the north of the country and Scotland. What we are looking for is your fav campsites, the little gems you have discovered on your hols. We have two lurchers which will be tagging along so they will have to be dog friendly sites and our sons will not be joining us this time so it doesn't matter if they are adult only. We will be purchasing another caravan next year to replace our current folding caravan, not sure which one yet, but the sites will need to be accessible to a caravan.
We would love to hear of some real little gems that are next to water, lakes, rivers or the sea, villages or castles, within walking distance of a good pub or two, pretty, quaint or quirky or just something a bit different. Currently we have no solar panel or generator so some of the sites would need to have hook up for us to recharge but not all of them. So if you are prepared to give up your secrets then we would love to hear from you so we can plan our trip with your best advice.
Thanks
Sarah & Rod

We are also from Bedfordshire, celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last month, and are off to the western Highlands of Scotland for two weeks on Tuesday! 
I can recommend Sands campsite at Gairloch, stunning setting, caravan and tent friendly (separate areas) with great facilities, a good and well stocked/priced shop and right next to the most lovely beach, with views out to Skye, and dog friendly too, as our little chap will testify!
Last time we went in 2012, we barbecued fish on the beach, bottle of wine, watching the sun setting over Skye, can't get more romantic than that!
The only thing it doesn't have is a walkable pub, there are good pubs in the area though, the Badachro Inn is great, but we did not really do any other pubs, preferring to enjoy a drink near our tent or on the beach.
Fantastic and scenic walks in the area, and a few nice shops in the town, we loved it.
Jane.

Birchwood Tourist Park, Wareham, Dorset is my favourite site, as it is very peaceful during non-school holidays, with direct access to Wareham Forest which is great for walks and cycling with the dog.
Sandbanks beaches is a short drive away with a large section that is dog-friendly all year round.
Only 2h drive from home towing a trailer, very friendly and helpful staff and owners, with excellent facilities.
Been there every year since 2009 apart from 2010 when I decided to try another site in the area.
