Conkers

On the edge of the National forest a great campsite for exploring the forest - its literally 5 minutes walk to the track. Perfect for bikes and scooters, the local pub is 10 min walk (little ones managed it fine) and has a garden with swings, slides and trampolines (all free!)

The weekend we went it was very windy and the site is very open so ask advice on the best place to pitch and wind direction - the staff were very helpful, there is a little shop at reception and loads of information about what to see and do.

We took our 4, 3 and 1 yr old and the family shower room is small (although there where 5 of us in there!) but very good, warm and it has a baby bath top use which the littler 2 prefered.

You can also go to 'Conkers' which is a visitors centre with play park, soft play and train. I was disappointed that it didn't say anywhere that you couldn't take bikes or scooters in until you got to the counter and I think it is expensive for what is there but we did go every day once we'd forked out for the ticket - make good use of Tesco vouchers for money off! If you can get money off then worth a visit.
