Club 80-90 Forums

Finally get to take my van for an overnighter tomorrow and will be my first camping trip in her.

Can anyone recommend a campsite 60-90 mins fromn Bristol (South Wales, Devon or Dorset maybe). Ideally looking for a site close to a real ale/cider pub. Lots of choice on tinternet etc but would welcome personal recommendations.

Thanks in advance

Park Farm, Llangattock nr Crickhowell - Brecon Beacons.

Canal nearby for walks/cycles. A few pubs selling ale in locality and some do good food too.

map details here Camp site is at the end of Park Drive opposite the Horseshoe pub.

sounds great thanks

Will look it up

Hi Louey,

I stayed 3 nights at the Lower Lode Inn near Tewksbury a few weeks ago. You basically park on a small field next to the river (Avon I think!?!) all within the pub grounds. Its a lovely 16th Century Inn that does a great choice in ales/ciders and food, and all for a tenner a night including hookup. There are some great walks to be had in the area too.

Also just came back from Haddon's Farm campsite in Three Legged Cross in Dorset - £12 for the night inc leccy but pubs are a good 20 minute walk away.

Hope this helps - enjoy your trip!

PS the third pic in my garage of my van was taken on the riverbank at Lower Lode

Sorry Louey...just realised it was cusmonkey after the recommendation!!!

Thanks Rich

Have put that one in the bank for a few weeks time

Hi have just been looking at the pics of Lower Lode by the river looks great.Only based in Gloucester so a quick weekend away.Thanks for the recommendation. Also have a look at Cotswold Farm park pubs within 2 to 3 miles but nice clean site.

Cost higher than Lower Lode but farm park good for kids. Plenty of good walks.

Hi Kev and Lorraine - thanks for the tip re Cotswold Farm - will give it a try soon. Lower Lode was my first trip out in the van so made it even more special! Have a good time if you try it

What's wrong with a good old stagger beyond the 20 minute mark??

Lol well 20 minute walk there, probably an hour stagger back
