Looking increasingly unlikely Sad

2 adults/3 kids nine man tent...does anyone know of any spaces?

Happy to travel 3hrs ish from Essex, preferably near a beach/fishing but not too bothered! Ideally Suffolk/Dorset/new forest?

We live very near the new forest, and if we go camping locally, we go to Acres Down - it's a basic site, but in the middle of the new forest, so a great location, and not expensive. They have an overflow field which they open at busy times, so they usually have spaces, even on bank holiday weekends. It's on a working farm, and they also do cream teas.

I don't know if it's near fishing, but there are various rivers nearby, so there must be some place nearby you could fish? It's about 25 minutes drive from the coast (nice beach at Mudeford) and might be worth a phone call if you don't mind a basic site.

ukcampsite.Co.UK have a section for last minute availability so you might want check there rather than ringing round.

We've made a last minute decision to head to Cornwall after finding a site which had spaces!

Now on a mad rush washing all weather clothes and stocking boxes. We only came back from Cornwall last week Grin

Thanks for the suggestions, seems everyone is camping this week!

Blacklands Farm in Sussex has spaces I think. It's lovely there!
