What camping trips have you got planned this year?

[Grockle]

I've got 3 trips planned but want to do more. So far, we have:

Wareham (Longthorns Farm) - May Bank Holiday
Lyme Regis (Hook Farm) - June (half term)
Camp Bestival - July

Team Edward - try Forgewood (close to Tunbridge Wells). Highly rated on here and we loved it at Easter.

Or try Manor Court Farm - also very nice and again close to TW. Both sites allow fires and, at MCF, we liked the orchard-y bit particularly. It has a rope swing for children and chickens wander around (or used to).

We have lots booked

Seaview, weymouth (2 nights)
La garangeoire (7)
Houlgate la vallee (2)
Dernwood farm (2)
Mellow farm (2)
Hole station (4 child free!)
Camping guyonierre (17 woohoo!)

May also got to Scott's farm when schools break for the summer

TeamEdward - my Kent / Sussex geography is a bit hazy but what about Welsummer, of the M20 not far from Leeds castle?

Hmmm. I would like to go somewhere on May Bank Hol, but it's the blinkin' FA Cup and DS will badly want to be within striking distance of a TV. Any campsites a bit like Forgewod and Welsummer that also have a TV room? (vain hope!)

We've only got 2 trips booked. I'm studying with the OU so first weekend away is just after my summer exam. 2 nights at a place near Holmfirth (not far from home) as a bit of a test run with the new tent.

Then we have 3 nights near Coventry in August so I can have a day at the Festival Of Quilts.

Just two planned:

Camp Bestival in July, me and DD in our crappy tent, and friend and her two DDs in their bell (this is if somehow I don't 'accidentally' set fire to crappy tent before we go, and have to buy a Quechua).

Mill Haven Place in Pembrokeshire in August, family camping with the BIG TENT.

I'd quite like to squeeze a weekend in at some point, although the thought of putting BIG TENT up for a weekend is not terribly appealing. Actually I'm not looking forward to putting it up at all, as the last time we used it (which was for ONE night!) our friend helpfully started taking it down afterwards, and he took the bedroom pods out (you don't need to).

Camp Bestival in July (first time),

A night round the corner at gwithian farm as soon as it's warm enough to check new tent out, as stupid camp Bestival doesn't allow trailer tents,

Looking at river dart country park, does anyone have any experience here?

lots planned as our summer seems so blooming busy I thought I'd better get them all in the diary as I'd like to try for once a month this year........ tho obviously these will be the dates we have torrential rain this summer as it ALWAYS rains when we camp!
