I have visited quite a lot of places in the uk- mostly in the South, and fancy a change from the norm. I have a few requirements though-

Beautiful scenery/ nice quiet area- not to close to a busy city or town- but local to village.

As we don't have children we don't need the usual swimming pools/ games rooms/ club houses. Prefer smaller sites.

Clean and modern toilet block is a must.

We love visiting attractions- historic mostly- plus the unusual like caves.

We have been to Derbyshire already, and plan to go to Cornwall in a months time- so somewhere different- not as far north as Scotland as only have a week off- and we live in Kent.

Any suggestions? I know it is a tall order, but if anyone is going to know- its you lot!

Have you considered the Lake District ???

As long as you steer clear of the tourist hot-spots like Bowness, Windermere, there are some lovely small villages and towns with plenty of character & lots of "natural" attractions.

Vale of York too far?  Few sites up there that members have mentioned. 

We stay in Scarborough (coz the kids like the beach).  Nice countryside.  Has own castle.  Not far to York.  We stay at Cayton Village about 3 miles outside of town itself.  Nice quiet friendly site with good shower/toilet facilities.  Lots of families stay inspite of no club but generally the kids are well behaved.

The Yorkshire Dales is lovely, White Scar Cave is near Ingleton, went there a few weeks ago, fantastic.

Hope you find somewhere, happy camping!

 Try Castleton in Derbyshire you can visit the bluejohn mines,and caves,its not far from historic Buxton, the caravan club site at loosehill take tents and none members.  .royell.

Hello there,

Have you been to Cheddar Gorge which is near Bristol/Western Supermere, it is lovely part of the world. Loads to see and do, Historic Bath is not far away, the caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar are great.

Have a look.

You can't beat west wales if the sun shines - why not give us a go??

Why not take a squiz on  and see what pops up in the area you're after? If you read ukcs members reviews, you'll get a better idea of what's on offer and probably bound to find something that meets your requirements?

Happy hunting

Hi Susperella

Try Bo-peep Caravan site Aynho Rd Adderbury Banbury OX17 3NP,

Close to Banbury a nice market Town then onto Warwick or Stratford

The campsite is affiliated to the CC and is peaceful and the toilets are really up to spec short walk to the local pub

Wow, lots of ideas- Wales and Yorkshire and nr York sound great. Did Cheddar, Somerset late last year, and Derbyshire this year- so fancy somewhere different. Can anyone suggest the names of some good sites In perhaps North Wales or the Yorkshire Dales with good facilities?
