Great first camp - apalling weather but LOVED it, and can recommend the site to anyone that wants a fully featured, but smaller site. Great for kids

Oh wow, fab pics and happy to hear you loved your first trip out - and that you're going back for more

Love those Hi-Gear 6 tents. So spacious and great value-for-money. Nice choice

Hope you took your wellies. Looks like you had a right downpoor. Nothing nicer than being in a tent though and listening to the sound of the rain on the tent, especially if you are all tucked up warm in bed (and don't need the toilet lol)  At least it didn't spoil your holiday and you had a good time.
