this site ia always fab and friendly and we've been there many a bank holiday . they just open another field if it gets busy so never feels overcrowded. short walk to nice pub with good food and 5 minute drive to beach.

Make sure you want to go for the full 3 days though, we had a problem as we only wanted to do two nights and no where would take us, we ended up justy chancing it and turning up but the campsite we went to they really were not happy about letting us stay two nights

Friday is a bad day to just turn up as most peeps go away then, plus it's a bank holiday so everyone and their dog will be out. I'd try ringing and e-mailing as many as I can. And while you're on the phone or e-mail why not book for next year! better to be safe than sorry.

I can't understand why there are still places left at the Bubblecar Rally (25th August - 28th August 2006. Bubble Car Museum, Cranwell, Lincolnshire).  More or less guaranteed to have a good time whatever the weather

Go to events/meets and have a look.

Cheers Paul

Even better it is costing £5.50 a night.
