We go away in winter, we are away from 21st for at least a week. Had no problems, just do as above. Try and get a hardstanding.

Get an insulation jacket for your water barrell. If its going to be really frosty then empty that barrell and take it indoors over night. Always empty the waste water container on a night rather than leave it full to freeze. Leave heating on overnight....then you just have to decide who goes out first thing to fill the water barrell!!!!!

we are away from the 22nd to the 2nd and shall follow the advice above.

Watch out for the black ice on the roadways at Burrs if it's cold, slipping over when going to the facilities is not good!

We are away from the 23rd have all the above.have a gas kettle just in case as a couple of years ago the area we were out had a big power cut and did not have power for 19 hours. and make sure you have a spare bottle of gas aswell.

agree gas kettle is a must,we lost power for 20 hours due a site fault.only use red bottled gas as the blue one could stop gassing if its too cold. 

keswick lake in march 2006.caravan site in far distance.

Our last trip each year is October, and the first February, and we've been caravaning in the snow.  The kids and dog love it.  We normally head south, so not problems with water freezing, even with the snowy conditions one year.

Generally our Feb holiday is in the new forest, and finding navigable dryish walks can be a challenge, best to stick to the footpath walks.

Cant think of anything nicer than finding cosy cafe right on the sea front somewhere and having a hot cup of tea while watching the sea.

Our kids are out doorsy, so we wrap up warm and walk in most weather conditions.

Recomendations, warm slippers, hip flasks, wicky coat for the dog, something to keep the kids happy when its tipping down, hip flask, good warming food, plenty of towels as nowhere to dry them, lots of waterproofs as nowhere to dry them, hip flask, wellies and walking boots.  Always best to remember the hip flask aswell.
