I keep suggesting that we camp locally.  In fact, the first two sites on my list are within half an hours drive.  I often wonder if by camping locally I'll actually go and visit all those places that I never visit that are on my doorstep.

I am very lucky having Snowdonia just up the road

We are contemplating going down the Lleyn Peninsula this weekend, despite OH being north walian born and bred he hasn't seen much of that area so its nice to have it on the doorstep so to speak and explore. Going to Whistling Sands beach, if the weather is good, the kids love it with their wetsuits and body boards.

OH always says that she's not prepared to pack the car etc etc etc just to go 5 miles down the road.

A big part of our camping trips are OH's sea fishing excursions so inland campsites are no good to us - the nearest are at least 1 - 1 1/2 hours  away on North Wales Coast - no sites for camping on the Wirral (see another post)  and very few, if any in Lancashire - if there were we'd go most weekends.

ooh but two miles up the road is a lovely campsite, good for a weekend away, no housework to do and a chance to gaze at the beautiful countryside near where I live, visit local towns as a tourist not a local.  It's great, do it as often as I can.

Well, when we go to Dornafield in 2 weeks time it's just 2 mins up the road. I have camped there before and it felt a million miles away!!!

When I booked and gave my postecode the owner laughed out loud. "Why" she asked.

"Why not" I replied

As some have you have said, you dont have to go far to camp and enjoy yourself.

At least we can pop home and feed the cat and thr rabbit!!
