Hi all,bit short notice but hey ho, we have to go to Bury this afternoon and have decided to go in the camper and stay over somewhere. Tried Kathy's website (http://www.funplace2b.co.uk/camp/default.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but no results.

Anyone know of any nice sleepy spots, wild, rural pub or camp site, within say a 25 mile radius of the Bury, Rochdale and Bolton area ?

Thinking of either nice countryside, country pub with camping or perhaps Victorian pumping station, canal museum, Steam railway venues etc.

Not stayed there but there is a site at Burrs just outside Bury with a pub next door

Oh and the east lancs steam railway next door

Have a look at this site Hollingworth Lake it may be of use to you,

Looked at "Burrs" and it seems a bit "Caravan Club formal" and "Brocklehead Caravan Park" is on a farm so should be OK but it is "reet up top" and it is blowing a gale and sleeting here and well cold, so that might not be ideal.

Hi Stewart, your link doesn't seem too work but I found it anyway ( http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/revie ... revid=2275" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and it seems the best so far

Try rivington country park near Bolton. You could wild camp near Belmont and the Black Dog in Belmont is a decent pub

We first went to the Brocklehead caravan Park and it looked carp !!
Just a farmers field on a bleak and blowy top, overlooking a HUGE industrial estate ! Not for us, so...

Thanks for that Stewart, we ended up staying there It was quite OK, fortunately it was not busy as most of the plots are rather nasty gravel hard standing, but we found a nice grassy corner (there are 2 other 100% grass fields, but they were not in use at this quiet time) Shame the weather was damp and cold The pub by the lake was good though, with lots of fancy 2 wheeled hardware in attendance ! Nice walks around the lake etc available and the camp site lady was friendly, it cost £14.

I just wild camped in Mytholmroyd in the sports and community center car park was there 2 nights, , very quiet and peaceful
