Hi Ive just purchased my first tent,a 2nd hand Khyam Ridgidome XXXL and would like some advice on a good campsite in the Leicestershire area to try it out with the kids and the relunctant wife.I need some where that will maybe convince the other-half that camping could be fun.So any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks all

Hi R1DDLES & welcome to the forum

Click on the 'camp site search' button at the top of this page, and type in the search box 'Leicestershire', click county, then search & it will come up with a list of campsites in that area. Make sure you check the 'reviews' for any site you like the look of - these reviews are by members of this forum who have used the campsite in question, so you get an idea of what the site is really like, not just the campsite owner's advertising jargon

Cheers JK98
I,ve had a look like you suggested and have found some sites all around my local area.Which should be great if her-in-doors decides to get back to the central heating and the T.V.
She really dosn't like the idea of draughts and creepy crawlies,but me and my 2 boys are determined to convert her.

I had the same problem with my husband Riddles ! He really did not want to go camping but I bought a cheap tent and he agreed to go for a few days.

The cheap tent really was cheap and leaked. Waking up with wet feet should be enough to put anyone off camping but it didnt and now husband is addicted. There is something special about sleeping in a tent and being outdoors and hopefully your wife will love it!

Enjoy :)
