Somewhere to camp in NWEngland/Wales

[ruger_red]

Hi All

Has anyone stayed at Fell Foot Wood ?

http://www.fellfootwood.co.uk/

Now I've ordered my tent I'm looking for somewhere quiet to go camping with my daughter, away from usual camp site suburbia of shower blocks and play areas. Some trees and a lake/river would be fine. That place looks like it might be OK, or maybe not, i.e, will she be finding bongs in the bushes.

Welcome to suggestions of alternatives in the North Wales/NW England area

Can't see fellfootwood mentioned on here anywhere and no reviews on the ukcampsite website...

Cheers.

Tyddyn Du campsite in N Wales (sort of near Barmouth and Dolgellau) is ace. You're near an estaury, and reed beds, basic shower block, trees, fires, dogs etc. Campie is nice, and will happily sell you wood if you can't forage your own. Very good for kids as well. Pub within walking distance (although it is the grumpiest publican in all of Wales...)

Red, this site is in North Wales, next to Llanbedr. Great site open all year round, very very basic, but open fires are allowed and the scenery is wonderful

I've always been a big fan of Stonethwaite campsite in Borrowdale. It's at the end of a farm track, there's a beck running alongside it and it's surrounded by mountains with oak woodland on the lower slopes, which will look beautiful at this time of year. It's very basic though, just toilets and cold water, but I know quite a few people who keep on returning there because of the beauty of the place and it's "away from it all" ambience.

Cheers, Michael.

Thanks for the replies. Some sites are a little too far afield this time but have bookmarked for next year when we can stay longer. Please keep the recommendations coming.

I've stayed here and I love it.

If you want North Wales, try this one:

It's cheap and with basic facilities in a cracking location, though it can be popular.
