Hi, we're about to embark on our first camping trip as a family with DS in tow who will be 11mo. We are going ot Dorset in early June and am looking for recommendations. Normally, DH and I like fairly basic rustic campsites but this time I think we might happily go for something with a few more facilities. Criteria are:
- Flat soft grass (am thinking DS will be crawling or maybe just toddling and would be nice to be able to let him go for it from the tent a little bit - so more of a football pitch type site rather than our normal choice of places with slopes and rocks)
- Not too far from the sea
- Nice local pub within buggy friendly walking distance
- Decent facilities (can cope with anything when just me and DH but for our first trip with baby think I might want a few more luxuries)
- Possibly an onsite childrens play area, but I'm imagining you only get these in super busy touring sites? I'm not sure I want to go that far up market.
- Preferably somewhere that feels spacious but with pitches that are shaded by the trees!
Any tips gratefully received!
