we go 2-3 hours for a weekend, we always leave in the morning on a friday for the weekend so travel not so much of a worry for us. If we had to go in rush hour i think i would travel about 1-2 hours max.

2013 Nothing as yet , trying to get new boyfriend to go camping soon. Selling Maritisa 700 , so we can put it towards a VW Camper.
Usually no more than an hour drive for a weekend trip as often I can't get away before 6pm on a Friday.
I like to keep kit down for a 2 night break, so I take the suitcase stove instead of the 2 burner stove and grill with gas bottle, depending on time of year I might still take EHU, dont' take the kitchen stand (I use the table) etc....
Lettershaws Farm at Abington/Biggar is a small basic site I use a lot...Be aware it is very basic..Not much more than a field with some ehu and a hut for the toilets and 1 shower?? But the views are great..and a walk along the burn with the dog suits me..Or you can ramble over the grouse moor all day if you want...Plenty to do with kids in the area..Lead mining village of Leadhills is only 2-3 miles away and you can do a guided tour into one of the old shafts or pan for gold in the burn outside the visitor centre...
Witches Craig outside Stirling..Is at the foot of the Pentland hills..5mins in the car from the Wallace Monument 10 mins from the castle..Less than an hour for you along the motorway!!
Both can be found in the campsite search facility at the top of this page...As can a few others that might take your fancy....

Thanks so much Jelboy, I'll check those out. I love both those areas, I love being near the hills , but I never thought of checking if there were campsites there! I have lots of books about campsites but the central belt area barely gets a mention. Thanks again
whoops we must be mad then !! ok its normally a three nighter weekend but we go to either le brevedent in normandy or le mans do that atleast once a month in the summer months as i said we must be mad then again cheap cigaretts in belgium does help to pay for the trips
