Help me find a campsite pref within 1.5 hours of Cheshire

[Honeymoonmummy]

Hi all,

I have been let down by the campsite we were planning to stay at for my birthday weekend on 11-13 July and I need to find another ASAP but am losing the will to live with UK Campsite!!

Can anyone recommend a campsite within 1.5 hours (2 absolute max) of mid-Cheshire (so probably North Wales - Anglesey would be furthest), which has the following:

• allows tents;
• nice things for small kids to do (age 3 & 5) - be it playground, farm animals, swimming pool, stream (don't expect all of these things!);
• decent toilets/showers
• electric hookup is a must!
• not rowdy at night.

Anyone?!?

What sort of budget are you on? If money is not an issue then here www.plassey.com/holiday-park/ is highly recommended.

Nantcol waterfalls is lovely. Stream but no animals (except sheep!) or Park. Toilets and showers are nice.

The Plassey is nice, restrictions on swimming times but a nice little park.

I've already tried the Plassey - no room left! Will look at Nantcol, thanks.

No space at Nantcol

Holme Open Farm near Sedbergh. Lovely place.

www.lanesidecaravanpark.co.uk This site has a fab stream for paddling.

holgates.co.uk Is brilliant and has most of the things you ask for at its sister site Hollins farm, just a field away from the main site.

Cae Gwyn is lovely. As is Llyn Gwynant.

Ooh lots of replies! Have looked at Fisherground, it looks great but think maybe when DC's are a bit older? I have already looked at Holgates Serin, it looks fab, am going to give them a call tomorrow because their online booking doesn't seem to be working (or they're fully booked!)

Will look at the others now. Thanks all!

Pant yr Onnen at Bala - beach like lake at the edges to paddle in, spotless new toilet block, very quiet off a B road so no traffic noise. Lots to do in area. Beautiful site - lovely owners!! Have been last 4 years

Featherdown looks lovely but pricey www.featherdown.co.uk
lots of choices with 1.5 hours from Cheshire.
More glamping than camping though :)

Thanks but we're not quite on Featherdown budget

Have quite a few to try tomorrow, thanks all!

Have you seen this? Not looked at swimming facilities.

Situated 2 minutes off the A55.

Cheshire Lakes

Thanks Shakey, those BBQ pods look good! The site looks a bit too sparse tho, not much to do (we don't fish!!)

Thanks all for your advice, I have just booked Hollins Farm www.holgates.co.uk/hollins-farm very excited now!
