Generally speaking what is the weather like for camping at Easter, never been before May before (or not whilst an adult)? Am thinking about going this time for a couple of nights but shouldn't imagine that I'll get anywhere with ehu if leaving it late to see what it's like, and don't have a heater anyhow! I know it's not likely to be boiling sunshine with the kids paddling in the sea weather but just a rough idea.

Trailer tent, caravan and too many tents!

a rough idea??? howling wind ....rain by the bucketload, nil sun,freezing cold...snow,...frost....and sky high pitch fees...an traffic jams....an site full signs.......shall i go on????
Last year the weather was lovely, we were in our van, not in a tent, it was warm enough. We were at Strid wood near Bolton abbey and the sun shone right over the weekend.
The year before we were in Buxton and it wasn't quite so good but it was still fine.
It all depends what sort of a set up you have if you are well equipped you should be fine though I think at this late date you will have a job finding somewhere'
i am not sure what the weather is ment to be like but you are like us dont want to go if weather aint good being the beginning of april its still quite cold at night
we are going to the woodlands caravan park devils bridge because you can just turn up no need to book

Would like to go early and c&cc have plenty of non ehu and some ehu pitches at sites I fancy during the kids holidays on their booking website at present although not easter weekend, not as I really want to go at easter weekend itself. Just don't want to feel obliged to go if I've booked somewhere and it's bucketing it down and we're going to spend all our time getting dry and warm!
That looks a great campsite clairetheoil, one to remember for future reference, just looked at time it would take us to get there, 3 hours ish on a good day according to the AA but that's going through Shrewsbury and I've been stuck on their ringroad for an hour and a half before now!
We went for the first time last year, the site we were on was right on the beach so it was a little nippy-but with a fleece, or jumper with jeans/tracsuit bottoms we were fine- put it this way we managed a bbq!!!

Our friends are taking a tent and camping easter weekend - we're heading up to Tansley near Matlock, Derbyshire. They say if they get cold they will jump in our van!! We will lock the doors - We're all looking forward to it, just hope the sun shines though its rain or high winds which are the worst offenders!
We go away every easter, and have had all sorts of weather over the years, rain,snow,sleet,sun,wind and very occasionally pleasant warm sunshine, just praying that this year is going to be ok. We dont mind the cold, its the rain we hate, trying to keep the kids entertained.
Went to the Forest of Dean a few years ago, with a Kyham Ultradome, every where was flooded on the way down, had to put the tent up in torrential rain, the following morning woke up to snow on the ground, Brrrrrrr, Have had campervans for the last few years so don't worry so much now as we have heaters....
were going to Mere Farm, apparently nothing there but owner is opening a beer tent at easter should be a laff, big field for kids to play cricket/football in only cheap too no minimum nites etc very basic but sounds just right for relaxing away from all mod cons
As long as you take loads of chocolate eggs, a winebox and a nice warm sleeping bag - who cares what the weather does! If Easter is anything like this week it will be lovely.
Debby4 take plenty of spare bread with you to feed the free roaming chickens . Hope you have a great time the site is basic but nice and a very helpful owner.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
