Mmm.... Why is it that open all year sites seem to be more prolific in the midlands and the north of England? Hubby and I like geocaching and, as such, take out van away in the winter for the weekend as well. We cannot shower in the van due to age and the fact that the shower trya has split. We also have a 'no number two' rule for the van LOL so need EHU, Shower and toilets. I have a choice of about erm...2 with good reviews and both are not the best as we have visited them before.
We live in the Porsmouth area so any suggestions would go down a treat. We only travel for a maximum of 1 hour if it is just a weekend away as it can get too dark on arrival.
We have Rookesbury Park caravan club site very close but it closes at the end of October even though the toilets are heated and they have many hard standings - why is this???
Moan over and happy camping - looks like Sunnydale Farm (southampton) again from the end of the month!!!
------------- We would love to hear from fellow campers or even meet up :)
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
I will be watching this with interest as I am trying to find somewhere around that area to go.
So far all I have found is Sandy Balls campsite - Im just hopping its quiet and for £66 for two nights in Nov it had better be clean!!

Hi Zoe - Sandy Balls is a very commercialised campsite with lots or club activities going on - not too sure I'd like the idea of paying that much though??
Where are you from Zoe?
------------- We would love to hear from fellow campers or even meet up :)
We are from near Guildford and im looking at places round near the New Forrest.
I think the cost will be worth it, just so i can send my husband and kids off swimming while I supervise the dog!!
Sharian, here's a link to Little Paddock's UKCS listing.
Steve's link shows sites which are open all year and have toilets, showers and hookup, as you specified.
You can tick other boxes to narrow down your choice, and if you like, move the blue marker and change the radius, then click on a possible site for more details and (probably) reviews.

Oh Zoe - don't get me started - geocaching is a treasure hunt game played thoughout the world using GPS signals. Theer is even a Geocahing app for I-phones Basically you and kiddies are looking for hidden treasure by way of ammo or tupperware boxes hidden in the countyside. Our grown uo children love it and so does our grandaughter aged 2.5 LOL www.geocaching.com pop in your post code and see how many are hidden around where you live - I think you will be surprised!!! We've even cached in Egypt!
Little Paddock wasn't adult only last year when we went - sorry :( I'll have a think and let you know!

Oh ive read about that and was taking to my husband about it as I think we would love it. Do you need GPS or can you use a map?
I know there are a few places round here, I will look at the link.
Thank you
We have been to little paddock and highly recommend it but a bit of a hike to get there on a Friday afternoon as the M27 to Bournmouth it is a nightmare and can take well over an hour to drive 30 miles or we would be visiting again but thanks for your help/suggestions - more welcome
