camping with a baby

[Lin06]

Hi
I have a nine month old and am starting to think about taking him camping for the first time.
My hubby and I are experienced campers, but have never taken a baby camping!

Anybody got any suggestions for a good baby friendly site?

i'm not sure the site will matter tbh.
although i've been to one with a fridge and microwave which was useful.
it was at crackington haven in cornwall.
i can't remember which one though, but it was a little drive from the beach.

Site can be helpful if they have baby baths installed or some on site facillities ime (camped with a five weeker last year).

Where abouts are you? East Fleet in Dorset are fab- no baby baths but you can use an inflatble one in their bathrooms. Also broadway House in Cheddar (Somerset) and Sandy Balls (latter two with baby facillities).

No help on site, but we bought an ortlieb folding bucket/bowl and used that as a baby bath, and as a washing up carrier, and as a dirty laundry bag... you get the picture.

My sister went to a lovely one with her 3 (then 4 2 and 6 months) that had a family room with a bath.
I can find out the name of it if you want. It was on Anglesey /North Wales

we bath ours in the plastic box we all the kitchen gear in.
i love it when they sit round a fire in their bath.
so lovely.

QueenFee I'd be interested in the name of the Anglesey campsite please! Hoping to go at Easter if it warms up

I think it was St Davids in Benellech but I will check with her tomorrow

We are in Oxfordshire, so any of these would be possible. I love the idea of using the plastic box to wash them in :-) My son loves water and has even enjoyed having a quick splash in the showers after swimming.
