Hi just joined as we just started to go camping we're active family with two 4 an 3 year old boys, we borrowed a tent the first time an got on ok, so we just brought all our own gear got the gelert corona 6 tent as it was on offer an the reviews on here said it was good, it's basically the same as an older vango Icarus. We are now looking to just get away some weekends if the weathers good we love Cornwall an Devon but looking to go anywhere really we are based in south derbyshire so if you know of any good sites for kids an nice areas abit closer to home the fire-away, not Skegness as Its not that nice there now an costs me loads when we go to much shiny kids things on show, we like walks nice beaches, farm type places an woods but up for anything cheers

We used to holiday in north norfolk when our children were pre-schoolers before we moved here, and actually we still holiday here.
Sites we really like: Clippesby Hall, Kelling Heath, Woodhill Park and the Sandringham campsites (though less to do on site there). Sites which are on my to do list but we've not been to are Deers Glade, Woodlands and possibly Pine Woods.
Some ideas of places to go (some are quite a drive but I'll suggest them anyway) Church farm in Stow bardolph, snettisham park, bircham windmill, bewildwood, Sheringham park, sandringham house/country park, farmer Fred's (when wet), dinosaur park, Africa Alive, poppy line railway....
Lovely beaches: brancaster, wells, old Hunstanton, and holkham. The pine woods at the behind the beach at wells extend to holkham and makes a nice bike ride/walk. Plenty of beaches further round e.g Sheringham, cromer and mundsley.
------------- From tents to trailer tents to a tin tent to an air tent to trailer tent and back to tin tent!
