this is an odd reply realy as our best trip was our lst not becoues of what we did but becoues of the differnce it maid to our lives
we had been through a ruff patch hubby had a break down disaperd for 4 days and tryed to kill himslef my 14 year old dauter had been diagnoesd with cronic crohns disesas and my back (scoliosis) gave up and i had to start using a wheel chair out and about. we had the chance of a 10 day break in scotland so on the spare of the momnet we packed up all the fodd in the cupbords scraped togethere money for camping and fule and set off. we had no spare cash so sisnt do anything exciting we played board games took the dogs out and chatted. but it gave hubby and me time to sort ousleves out ok so i carnt walk for big beal theres wheelchairs. hubby had peace and quiet and it gave him chance to think about what was realy importants and make some big desisisioon he could never have done at home with his family at him. and my dauter just had time to relaxs and thats a good part of geting crohns in remission. so ok maybe not everyones idea of a brill holiday but it will be one that changed our lives and we will all remeber for ever

Thats nice fallenangel, like you say not everyones idea of a brill holiday but it were obviously a life changing one for you and your family, so probably the best kind of holiday anyone could ever wish for.
It's not so much where you go but where you aren't. At home we're all off doing our own thing in different parts of the house (just like now actually!) and there's all the hassle of school, work and running our hectic lives and yet once that tent's up all our cares fade away. (Note, I said once the tent was UP! Bloody arguing all the time whilst we're doing it but happy again and content once it's all done lol!) We have time for each other, we talk together, we eat together and we play together and we love every minute of it. Freedom. Bliss. So anywhere with running water, warm clean showers and a flat dry pitch would suit me fine.

I think that sums camping up Fallenangel.

the trip we did to scotland was with whippet racers and we camped on a sports feald it rained hafe the time but like you say there was fresh running water nice clean showers that i could get into. other than nipping to the supermarket we only whent of the feald onec in ten days proprly in the car the rest of the time we just sat about chattingway from all the daily crap. I think camping is the only place you can realy get away from things in hotels you have to have your meals at set times everywere else its someone elses home but camping its your home but away from everything we even have a diffrent simcard for our mobile phones which only my 2 sisterd have the number for in an emergancey so we carnt even be phoned up

We had a great week at Rose farm in Norfolk this year the weather weas really hot and we just chilled for the whole week the the kids and friends of ours as I have quite a hectic job it was so relaxing . Fantastic sight( especially watching the sun set over the ajoing farmers fields) will begoing back next year for sure.
We go to Bodnant Caravan Park, Llanrwst, Nr Betws y Coed at least once every year. (It also accepts tents). It is extremely peaceful and quiet, you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is so much to do in the local area without having to travel too far, for example walking around Llyn Crafnant, Snowdonia, the Great Orme,Llandudno. We have taken our children there for the last 4 years, don't take a TV,just play games, cards, walk, talk, laugh. After having a week away we all feel completely relaxed and look forward to our next visit there.
we got back from Ripley camp site early last week, and what a excellent site it is ,
facilities spotless, wardens very friendly, and very reasonably priced.the walk into the village can be dangerous, unless you use the muddy field which runs along side the road,but in all fairness i spoke to a warden he said it would be addressed for next season, its hard to write negatives for such a nice site, anyone thinking of going to Yorkshire give these a look, we,ll be going back next year. have a look at brim ham rocks amazing !
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
