Who would like to help me find a campsite - within 2 hours driving (B/H traffic?) of Reading....

[Milliways]

looking for somewhere where you can camp freely - not rigid pitches as we have up to 12 families going together.

Near (walkable) to sea or lake or river, as kids get endless free fun skimming stones/paddling etc.

Fires allowed a real bonus!

Allows groups of people.

Not too fussy re facilities, flushing loos & proper showers are preferred though. Nothing else required.

We LOVED Bracelands(Forest of Dean) but is quite a trek in holiday traffic, and has become very expensive for B/Hol weekends.

We need to find somewhere before they all book up for May!

Thanks!

Yep - we only saw our reps when they collected the BBQ hire money that they wanted then as it was their night off & they were off to the pub

Have you thought about the New Forest. Wonderful camping under the trees and no fixed sites. Good fascilities and loads to do - walk in forest, play in rivers. We loved it
