Where are you going this summer?

I guess it's time to start planning our summer camping trip.
Where should we go?
Dd will be 3 and ds will be 1 and a bit. Too young to appreciate Sandyballs and the like.
I would like to go to Cornwall I think.
Anyone got some fabulous recommendations? We are me, dh, dd, ds and the dog.

We're going to Wooda Farm in Devon in August, as recommended on here. And the Larmer Tree Festival in July.
We went to Sandyballs first week of September last year, it was great. Cheap cheap cheap and quiet but they were still doing free playdough and colouring sessions everyday so our 3yr old was happy as Larry. Frighteningly clean site, like Disneyworld!

I suspected our children would be too small for sandyballs.
It's two weeks in June

That looks nice Giraffeski.
We're going to Gillside Farm but it doesn't have a website.
Do you boat & swim in the lake too?

Ooh, what sort, Giraffeski?
We have a Canadian canoe, a wooden clinker dinghy (currently unusable) and a little plastic sailing thingy called a Bobbin. Don't know what we'll be taking - prob the canoe if anything. The problem is childcare as our dcs will be 6 months and 2, but we're going with friends so we may be able to take it in turns

Last year dh hired a dinghy once or twice and I just went swimming a lot.

We are hoping to do 10 days in Bungay in May, a week in a field in the Isle of Man in August and 9 days just outside Bristol in September for more juggling stuff!
Can't wait
