Hi there,

I know it's school holidays - but we are looking to go away next weekend (just fri night to sunday) but all of our regular haunts are full.

Ideally we'd like electric, dog friendly and walking distance to a pub/countryside/coast

Any ideas most appreciated.  Thanks

You could try Watermouth Valley Campsite near Ilfracombe, its right next door to a pub, dog friendly and they have their own beach.

Are you CC members?  Lakeside CC site near Exmoor almost fits your criteria.  Big dog walk, lovely pub (Anchor Inn) which has a glorious riverside beer garden is within 5 mins walk.  Set within countryside area, but compromise is coast is by car.  (nearest beach - Dunster/Minehead).

If the site says full on the CC site, ring the warden - they sometimes can fit you in.

I'll try and think of some others!  We are also looking for the same weekend!

I know Yeatheridge Farm (crediton) has space without electric cos I emailed them yesterday, but it's a 3 night min stay.

Yikes! 

One of our old favourites is Thorney Lakes, Langport.  Lovely rural location with endless dog walks - compromise is nowhere near beach.  You could try there?

Bowdens Crest Langport also looks nice - they have pub onsite.

This one is on our must do list, purely because it has 6 onsite acres of dog walking.

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=9845

Legge Farm, Highampton (near Beaworthy).  Is set in rural countryside, if you like quiet sites you will love it.  Although Beaworthy is quite remote, and nearest beach is Bude.

We've just returned from Harford Bridge, Tavistock.  Lovely site just west of Dartmoor, next to the river.  2 miles to Tavistock town centre.  They are very friendly and helpful if you ring them.

Thanks for that, I think my husband know's that area, pretty sure it's close to Holsworthy where he once lived!  Will also look up the other site.  Thanks again

Yeah, it's in that direction.  Hatherleigh is close, but I know it's very rural.  Prices look good though and all pitches fully serviced!

Hi if it is Just adults try Zeacombe House Nr Anstey. You wont have to Worry as Pete and Linny do an Evening Meal service, Book before 4-30 and you Collect your Meal from the Office and take it to you dwelling. Return DIRTY PLATES!! no washing up. Brilliant. Dogs have their own Play Area all you must do is Pick up any Doo- Doos and put them in the Bin. Good for the whole of North Devon
Sorry but it is Adults Only + Dogs up to Three

Thorney Lakes didn't look full when we drove past the other night. Lovely area and has great walks along the river at Langport.

Bowdens Crest is also beautifully situated with the Somerset Levels right on your doorstep and stunning views and great owners.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who made suggestions for sites for our weekend away.  We have managed to book into Moor View Touring Park at Modbury, Devon.  The website looks good and the gentleman I spoke to on the phone when making the booking was most helpful.

Happy Camping everyone...........
