Bumping for you as I'm having the same problem.

Managed to book somewhere with EHU in the Forest of Dean for a couple of nights this weekend, but wanted 4 days near somewhere with a beach (ds1 is desperate to go to the beach) during the 19th-23rd August. Having trouble finding somewhere

You've probably been to Ashbourne (or not) by now, but I liked Callow Top when we went three years ago - that's in Ashbourne.
We went to Golden Valley caravan and camping park in Ripley, Derbyshire (kind of, but not very, near Ashbourne) at the weekend and it was fine. New, with nice clean facilities, but lots of people there, bit too many for me.

For seaside - I managed to book three nights at St David's Park in Anglesey for Bank Holiday weekend when a lot of other places were full, so that might be worth a try and it has it's own private beach apparently. Haven't been there before so can't recommend.

I tried the online booker of St David's Park - no joy Currently waiting for a reply to my email to Aberafon...

Georgina, How far do you want to travel. East Fleet nr Weymouth has some vacancies. We're staying there 19th - 28th August.

East Fleet

Dolbryn campsite in newcastle emlyn had spaces (not with electric).

Superb site for kids. Excellent clean facilities.

15 mins drive from some of the best beaches in the area.

www.dolbryn.com Owners bev and dave are fab and can't do enough for you.

If you book, tell them the wasp lady sent you!

East Fleet looks lovely! Fortunately, seem to have got the last pitch in Aberafon - yay!

Now feeling very nervous and excited about this weekend for our maiden voyage...

Handy hint - if you're planning to have a barbecue as we did this weekend, it's a good idea to take knives and forks - eating steak with a spoon isn't very easy...
Hope you enjoy Aberafon, GeorginaA - my nana lives in Caernarfon, so I spent most of my childhood holidays round there.

LOL helsy - will remember that

We've just found out that the water carrier and waste water container won't arrive here in time for our trip away this weekend - ARGH! I forsee lots of trips to the tap with the kettle...
