I know its a bit crazy but... has anyone got recomendations for camping over christmas. We were looking for a quiet woodland site not too far from london with great walks. Anyone who has tried this before please let us know how you got on and any advice re. gear, locations etc
Many thanks

Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
HI, you can search for sites using the Advanced Seach and Area searches from here and ytou can specify what you are after from Sites Open all Year, to Sites with Pubs, Sites that accept dogs etc
Most site listings will also have visitor reviews to give you an idea of what the site and local area is like
Hey Ratty,
thanks for the nod in the right direction. Still a newbie so every little helps. What i did find was that Blackberry woods in east susex is now open all year round, on the "to do" list so might give that one a go. Will keep all informed. Also found couple other woodland sites, guessing these may be a bit warmer than an exposed hillside.
Anywho thanks again.
I can recommend this site. Open all year round but I would check with them re Christmas. Lovely site in beautiful surroundings, lakes and woodland. A little on the expensive side but you pays for what you gets.

Thanks very much for suggestion it looks great, will definatly put that in my brochure. Any one else got a suggestion? If you like woodland camping try Tangham Forest in Sufolk, very nice and not far from Woodford.
Cheers.

No, it's not a bit crazy - it's a LOT crazy!!
I did my first adult camping trip (in a tent) back in early March of this year and it was 'effing freezing !! ...and I consider myself pretty resistant to cold (years of playing rugby in January in Manchester!).
The wife got cold even in August, which is why we've had to upgrade to a caravan...

I found camping this year a little colder than usual at night. We seemed to get some very hot days (blink and you will have missed them) followed by colder than average nights. Not many nice warm nights this year for some reason.
This prompted me to go electric, mainly so I can have a heater on all night. The bonus is that I can extend my camping into the winter months providing the weather isn't too unreasonable.
Nelmo, Third time lucky!!. One too many sherberts! All I can say is YOU BIG WUSS!! you must play union cos having lived in Wigan...(home of league) for 5 years, even the women in little licra dresses off the market can handle -10c rolling around in the high St. lol. Anyhow thanks for the heads up..will give it some serious thought. ps where in Mcr did u play? Chorlton-cum-Hardy and Whitefield man myself. Got soft and moved south tho.
