bullmastiff 615 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's getting around to that time of year again so looking for some advice on where to go camping for a week. Last year we did Sennen in Cornwall, year before that, we did Hawes in Yorkshire for 3 days and 3 at Glen Coe. It's just the missus, the dog and I so we're looking for somewhere with a load of walks and a decent pub nearby would be handy too! Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 615 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Nope never been to the lake district, the missus did mention about going up there one day. Any parts in particular that you would recommend? We've done most of Cornwall so fancy somewhere different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can recomend the 'quiet site' in the Lakes.Got a great dog friendly pub on site, full of hunting stuff. Apparently nothing has changed in there for 30 odd years! We were the first in and last out every night, lol.. Bloke behind the bar is a font of knowlage for the area. Decent base, easily see all of the Lake districk from there. Well worth a visit if you've not been before, ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bullmastiff 615 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Ended up booking into The Quiet Site near Ulswater for the start of August. Thanks for the suggestion B.R. Looks like a cracking area and with a pub on site for the evening it's got everything we want! Cheers again! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Aiken 253 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I`m off to Eweleaze Farm, it`s only open in August. What I love is the private beach and you can have camp fires on the beach and campsite, firewood provided! http://www.eweleaze.co.uk/camping.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Never tried central Scotland. I'll keep that in mind for next year. What's the midges like there? When we were at Fort William they were terrible. David, that's only about 35 miles from me. We regularly head to that part of the coast around Weymouth. It's great for walking and loads for the nipper to do too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
