Before kids I would have agreed but after a long weekend camping in Cornwall last year the freedom outweighed the discomfort. I'm trying to minimise that now as well.Wookienopants wrote:I hate camping. There's no room service and the toilets are awful.

North Wales is definitely on the list for the summer, was thinking about a trip there for good Friday weekend but the and a half hours seemed a bit far for a trial run.metagonzo wrote:If you fancy a bit of North Wales (which you should) then there's loads of great sites near Beddgelert and Capel Curig; you're slap bang in the middle of Snowdonia.
My dad and I used to stay at the Forestry Commission site just outside of Beddgelert; lovely spot with good facilities and the gentle roar of a mountain stream lulling you to sleep if you choose the right pitch.
Then we both realised that we weren't getting any younger and after a hard day on the hill, the lure of a duvet and a full English to follow proved too much so since then it's been a cracking B&B in Betws-y-Coed.
Still miss the stream. I have very fond memories of pitching by that stream.
