I was wondering if anyone had a clever way of searching the net for campsites' names/addresses that doesn't bring up endless holiday parks and caravan sites.

I've had a number of unpleasant experiences on caravan sites, where campers are made to feel like 2nd class citizens and I also find rows and rows of caravans to be ugly and they are inevitably overpriced!

Since Caravan sites have somehow hijacked the term 'campsite' and have much bigger budgets for online marketing and websites I'm finding it very difficult to find campsites in the traditional sense of the word!!

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi, Use the Advanced Search in this section 23 and you can search for tent Only sites.

Osmington Mills, near Weymouth is mainly tent / motorhome only.
Touring caravans are situated in a field quite far from the main site.

Woodyhyde site near Swanage is tent and camper van only as you have to go under a low bridge to get in and its too low for caravans.

I just did a search and there are hardly any! On the plus side you don't have to spend hours trawling through them all lol

Are tent only sites better do you think? I had never really thought about it being a relative newbie to the 'outdoor life!'

Some sites seperate tents and caravans. Our regular site, Brynich Caravan Park, have a large field for tents only. Can't think of any that have no caravans at all though.

Agree with Isle of Man comment - had a brilliant time there last summer.  Only one caravan on our site (you need a special licence I believe to take a caravan onto the island).

Hollows farm Lake District, Red squirrel glencoe and variouse national trust sites in the lakes.

I hope you find some more. I prefer sites that are tent only, and if not at least tents on one side caravans on the other and the facilities in the middle.
