Camping locations for kids?

Post by zippy » Sat Apr 25, 2015 8:41 pm

So I'm looking for places to take the niece and nephew over the summer hols for around 5 days.

Following a great website about wild swimming, as I'd rather be near fresh water, so the kids can play (maybe me also :D).

http://www.rukins-keld.co.uk/the-campsite/

Something quite right with that pic. :lol: and the prices are good too.

Going on top of my list for now.

Anyone got any suggestions?

If you fancy the coast and not too far away I can recommend these two sites on Morecambe Bay as good for kids / family friendly.

Little far south that one.

Pretty easy going kids, water, grass. Maybe some other kids to play with...

depending on ages and abilitys of the kids i would think twice about morecombe bay for wild swimming.

I,ve heard good things about this place -https://nantcolwaterfalls.co.uk/index.php its certainly a stunning area but have only driven past en-route elsewhere.

Was at Gibraltar farm in Easter break and paid £14 a night for me and the two kids for non hook up which I didn' t think was too bad. Definitely no good for wild swimming though.

i was using the wild swimming as a guide to find good fresh water spots. I wouldn't make the kids swim, are they not strong swimmers.

They like a good paddle and splash around.

Fforest Fields is lovely, a lake for swimming/canoes, great walks and campfires allowed :D
