Thinking of taking 5yo DD to a safari park next weekend, and possibly camping overnight too.

We are camping novices so campsite has to be all mod cons type. Only have a weeny tent and will definitely all do camping for one night!

And which safari park: Longleat (about 4.5 hours drive, but is it the best and worth it?), Knowersley, West Midlands or Woburn?

We will be travelling from Sheffield.

Anyone got any information on any of these safari parks, which do you recommend, etc?

And also anyone got any ideas on camping nearby to any of them?

TIA

We enjoyed West Midlands though the site is basically in two halves - one half is the safari and the other half is a fairground with big rides.

We camped about 20 mins away at a place called Lickhill Manor which seemed quite popular. Not sure I'd heartily recommend it (we had a problem with the goose poo in the rain getting stuck on DS's shoes) but I think there's a field without geese which seems ok.

Wasn't impressed by Longleat. Over priced over crowded nad understaffed.
West Midalnds is really good value.
There are campsitees in Bridgnorth nearby, which is really pretty.
