We are looking for a campsite within a couple of hours drive of London suitable for families and near the coast (maximum 30 minute drive from a beach). Ideally with over 100 tents so there are plenty of other kids to play with. Not worried about facilities/pools/clubhouses etc but would prefer nice showers and fire pits but not essential. Some toilets and showers are essential though.
The main issue is we need a huge pitch. Happy to pay for 2 pitches if necessary but we need the 2 pitches open without path/hedge in order to fit the tent. Unfortunately the size of pitch discounts most sites especially when booking this late for 2 weeks in August. Last year we ended up very remote and too far to visit the beach which we don't want to repeat.
