So what do I really need in a camp site

My pesonal needs not to far to get to as I dont have central heating & bog & so gota pitch my mahusive tent (sorry Dougie mate had to slip it in)
No really as for the location I need one of two reqiurements due to departure times because of her job Oneis its gotta be ideally located so I can easily get ther & pitch my tent with some daylight leaft or Twothe easy option for arriving in the dark Basic Accomodation in the form of Pod, Yurt, B&B etc etc.
Good Shower Facilities as I love a shower & like to use all the hot water up

What does Mands need
Facilities not too far from camp due to nobbly knee
Warmth due to circulation problems

What do I think we need as a club
Site we can camp close together
Fire for the late evenings for warmth & cooking on
Good facilities though basic is all that is required & not too far to walk to

As a club i see that we need in no particular order:

1- Good Toilet & Shower Facs [clean, hot and close-by] [even although i have my own its still better with areal one ]
2 - A level pitch - Where the prospect of further space alongside could/is available so we are all able to CAMP TOGETHER [pref allowing an open fire or with a fire pit allowed to have one] so we can easily play silly games etc...
3 - Distance wise reasonable for all [easy to say harder to do though] ........
4 - Price ......

NOTE
1 - Travelling Distances As this is a bit of a contentious issue i believe the fairest way is to find out where the MIDDLE of the UK is all ways [i.e take a map plot N- S E W and find exactly the core] then work out from that a max or min travelling distance which is the only real way or to possibly take same area again and say 100 miles around it or go for 4 a year one far south - one far east - one far west and one far North [still awaiting a scottish one] to try and get us off the ground all over .....

2- Site Size set up Etc Most sites whether Camping & Caravanning Club Caravan Club or privately owned usually have a "Rally Field" the renting of such is big business there are several caravan clubs motorhone clubs, car clubs the list is endless that make use of these up and down the country i seriously think some research should be put into finding out if a list or details of such locations might be available....

The lakes is nice but it is a trek for us but the fun is what makes it worth while

1 - Toilet & Shower Facilities & location within Camp
2- Space for Camping Together
3 - Fire (ground fire preffered or two off ground fire burners) Discution in seperate Thread for this Fire Debate
4 - (Optional) Local Pub

Pretty basic really & what most campsites offer & also what I look for in a campsite, the fire being the only issue as todays H+S has wrecked that

I shall be doing some more searching for adequate sites when I have the time tuesday no doubt & we still are undecided as to turn up early in august, if we do could do a spot of site checking.

The Peaks may be suitable now but will it be in the future as more and more attend is the worry i would of thought its the long term we are looking at not the short unfortunately where all corners of the country and mileages have to be considered, i cant remember where Glen is from but the rest of us so far are pretty well spread out surely as more join they will be to hence a central location able to accomodate us all no matter how many of us there are has to be paramount in all this where a level piece of ground with ammenities can be found to use for our main meet and others at members choice up and down the country to attend or not at your choice ????

Uk Camp Sites
