Help me choose where to go next weekend

Post by sciroccotune »

Hi Guys,

Need a bit of help if you please. We are looking to go on our first camping trip of the year next weekend and need some ideas of where to go?

There are a few criteria:-

We are based in County Durham and happy to travel a few hours
Need a campsite that takes Dogs
need something to do in the day
need a dog friendly pub fro the evening.


Any ideas will be greatly received!!!

Cheers :ok

@ StewnJo - Good idea I would have been in the dog house if I had not taken them!

Anyway guys there has been a disaster in as much as my chosen camp site is fully booked! So I'm back on the market for another camp site somewhere around within a few hours of Durham!

Cheers!

Have you tried ukcampsite.co.uk, we use that alot for ideas and find the reviews from real campers useful.
And there's also the funplace2be site specifically for T25 owners on the top of this forum!

Good luck on your trip! :ok
THAT WOULD BE AN ECUMENICAL MATTER!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the suggestions! Tried both sites and they are very good, Its just the wrong time of year I guess - I'm sad to say that this weekend may be a no go as it looks like every campsite in England is booked up or a club site that will not take 'non members' :(

May have to try wild camping!

as james said, go to the rtth show in derbyshire for saturday day/night then come along to the shirebrook afterparty sunday afternoon/night.
you will definately get into both venues and on the monday you could explore sherwood forest before going home. :ok

it will cost you the princely sum of ten quid for the show i think and 3 quid for the overnighter at shirebrook. :wink:
