For this weekend we need a campsite for tents with clean shower blocks within no more than 2 hours drive from manchester.  Theres going to be 6 adults and children aged 14,13,8,7,5,4&3. Have stayed at Henllys, Ty mawr and Nant mill before but we dont want to be in such a commercialised area this time.  Any advice is more than appreciated

Tyn Cornel near Bala is my favourite North to mid Wales site. You will find reviews in the campsite section. It now has a new shower bock which is lovely.

Any reason for going that way.  In two hours you could be on the east coast.  Our kids love Scarborough (2hours from Warrington) and we found a nice camp last year at Cayton Village (going back this summer -OH spendign two weeks).  Quiet camp but has necessities and it the actual "in-site" tent area is too small, they have a huge camping field out the back.  OH is fussy and is perfectly happy with the showers etc there.

Try Alt Gymbd in Mold.  Only 15 mins from the Horshoe Pass  and Llangollen, About 1 3/4 hrs from Manchester (And most of that is motorway or high speed duall carriageway.  Go via the M56 and then the A55 to Mold.

Quiet and peacefull, but if you like walking or driving around to explore, you have Snowdonia, Llangollen, Ruthin, and a bit further afield the North Wales seaside resorts.

Enjoy!
