Hi Maxylou,

I can't wait either, I'm not far from you too, Ellesmere Port.

There are a few nice looking sites over on Anglesey and by Bala lake, both of these areas aren't too far...

Also we have been to the Conwy Touring park two years on the run and have always found it to be nice and quiet.

Hi  Mel,

Thanks for your reply.

I certainly try them out,

I am so eager to get out that, for a few moments, I seriously considered camping during the upcoming half term holiday!  But today's sleet and winds put paid to that idea

Last summer we stayed at Tyn Cornel near Bala.  I live further away from it than you do (at the foot of the Pennines east of Manchester) but found the journey quite acceptable.  And the campsite is VERY good; not overly commercial but the facilities that they do have are first class. See my review and others' - they are all fullsome in their praise of the site.

Fforest Fields is further affield but has rave reviews.

Enjoy!

The C&CC site at Delamere Forest? We stayed there last year, went through Warrington on the way and bought a car ... expensive trip !

HI Pauline,

wow expensive trip! hope you got a bargain.I very often visit Delamere with my son its lovely  place no matter what time of year you go.

Thank you to the people who have left comments, i have  March and April sorted for camping. Lets all keep our fingers crossed the weather is kind to us this year.I have a new tent Vango Diablo which i have heard good reviews for on this site. My last camping trip August the wind was that bad it blew my tent apart ripped it to pieces, i can laugh now but at the time i was mortified.

Thank you the pic is Jack and I now have a pup who has just reached 6 months both lhasa apso's

they are very simular sh*tz tzu and ihasa apso..

did you take Jack camping- or will you be looking to take them both this year?

my Two are Harry and Toby i have not been ruthless enough to take them camping i keep saying i will take them, but Harry is a bit of a barker and i am scared this will annoy other campers if you now what i mean?

Maxine

Hi

Any tips you can share  for do's and dont's re dogs and camping i would really appriciate.My son keeps asking if the dogs can come with us and i miss the dogs when we go camping,but i am worried re Harrys his barking he does not like strangers.

My son is called Jacque Pronouced Jack, so we have something in common toby and Jacque.

i went to Newquay in cornwall in summer o6 and 07. Summer o6 was fab the weather was perfect but last year was awful.
