The Mrs and I fancy a 2 night stay somewhere in mid May and were looking for some recommendations to go to with our Trailer Tent

Must be within 1 hour (give or take 10 mins) of North Manchester and must be ok with late check-in (Mrs doesnt finish work until 7pm on the Friday).

Need grass pitches with electric hookup.

Ideally under £20 per night.

Cheers all

Feel nostalgic (probably the wrong word) for the trailer tent, but love the caravan. "Camping" all year round is fantastic.

What about Beech Croft Farm near Buxton, Derbyshire. Should be about an hour from Manchester.

Beautiful site with stunning views and excellent facilities.

You most certainly did Beech Croft. Will be calling to book by the end of the week. Don't happen to know if a decent satellite signal and or tv aerial signal is available on your tent field do you? (we are glampers not campers lol)

I know it sounds like you are sorted but here is another idea.

sorry I can't do the linky thing.
it is near Burscough near ormskirk and we found it whilst doing a circular walk. It would be very handy for visiting Southport, Merseyside or just enjoying the beautiful location.
