Very happy to report we survived after finding out the car wouldn't take us all with kit so poor husband had to do two trips there and back, an awful first 24 hours of rain, not having enough length on our hookup and needing to buy an extension (due to an abandoned caravan where we should have been pitching grrr) but despite all that we loved it!! Can't wait until our next trip at end of July!!






















Not sure if this report makes us look like alcoholics haha, but we had great fun, have learnt a few niggles and tweaks for next time, but definitely addicted already!!

PS. I love my Outwell!!!

Is that one pitch you are on? If so it's huge! Love the fact that you're tent has a front and back door. I bet that helps when it is hot.

There was no pitches as such, this was the lawn in front of the club, the first night we were there there was a lad on his own in a pup tent but after that we had the place to ourselves. You are literally right in front of the building but we still had privacy as its closed until the afternoon and still pretty quiet then.

I love the front and back door, it definitely helped through the day for fresh air, the condensation I see can be a problem but we managed to air the place pretty well

Hey well done looks fab 😄 so glad u enjoyed yourselves x camping is just one long learning curve I think ! Lol x but leads to some amazing adventures 😀 and kids especially seem to love it x now you can feel smug about all the extra fresh air and exercise you all got 😄 heehee and I always have extra energy as I sleep better outdoors x of course that could be the wine but who's counting haha 😉 it gets easier as well x we started by braving france last year after lots of uk trips and working up to another one in 10 days x never would have thought it when we started but it's kinda addictive ☺️😉 some fab places to visit and can be as chilled or action packed as you want x love it 😄

Oh France is something the husband already has twinkling in his mind.....I'd love to go but want to get some decent UK trips under our hats first, and of course a tow bar/trailer or bigger car, we can't go in one trip as yet and he's the only driver!!

Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures. It looks a great site. I've just emailed them to see if they have availability over the bank holiday weekend as the prices are so reasonable especially when you have a large family.

Lovely pics, thank you for sharing. On our first camp we only just got it all in, so on our last night my oh waited until the kids were asleep and did a sneaky trip home with all the things we wouldnt need in the morning. When it came to packing up the next day we still only just managed to squeeze it all in! lol
