Please can someone tell me campsites with family entertainment exist for camping in a tent over new year..I’ve looked everywhere and no where seems to be accepting tents 😭 hoping someone can help 😌 max two hours from Bristol. Thank you 🙏🏻
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
Have you tried the site search on here? Tick for tent, toilets, open all year, and maybe pub on site for the entertainment.
Not an area I know, so I can’t be specific.
Just be aware that by ticking "Open all year", there may be the odd site fall off your list that are actually open over Xmas/New Year, but closed for... eg... all of February.
Also, "Open all year" doesn't automatically include tents (and/or grass pitches), as many close their tent fields/grass pitches over winter. Some will then allow tents on hardstanding. Some may even say "Grass pitch "MAY" be available, subject to weather at the time". (Understandably, they don't want their grass churning up, when excessively wet!).
We've even been allowed to pitch on the grass immediately adjacent to a hardstanding, which in turn get's used for the car.
For tenter's in particular, it is always wise to find what appears to be a suitable site, then call to discuss/confirm specifics.
It can be a long process. Patience and perseverance is the key!
In an ideal world, the search filters would include "Open over Xmas & New Year" and "We allow tents on grass over winter" buttons, but I guess that's a lot of hard work for UKCS admin, for the small number of us that would benefit!
Right... I'm off to do my own searching now... wish me luck!
