Camping

[jackmayo]

Me and about 8-9 friends want to camping in the summer holidays after we have finished are GCSEs.

 

We want a fire and to be within walking distance of a shop.

 

What is the best way to go about it, a campsite, we would really want to camp just in a field or forest and was wondering if that was even possible? And if so what places are there?

 

We will all be 16+ and was wondering if that would be a problem without an adult there?

 

Thanks

Jack

christ... pick a nice place to camp, pitch up, enjoy, leave only your footprints... if someone tells you to bugger off, politely do just that.

The biggest problem you will probably get is finding a campsite that will accept a group of people your age. With regards to what sort of site is best, you need to decide what you want eg do you want showers etc?

Yep second that. The size of group with the age group will make many gringe, sorry but its kind of a stereotype that has come about.

 

Good luck with finding one. And a you looking for a specific area?

Yea that's the problem, there is a nice area about 5 miles from where we all live where we did our DofE so might just try to find a quiet field as its just for the one night, maybe two at the Max!

Do you recon if we find a quite spot around or near the reservoir it would be fine?

That reservoir must have been built on a fair old slope.

The bottom is full up and the top is pretty empty.

 

There is a sailing club there, I have a sneaking suspicion they won't be overly pleased to see you unfortunately.

Trevone campsite, nr padstow, cornwall.

£5 per pitch (if you have a 8 man tent, it's still £5)

You can have as big a fire as you can build and make as much noise as you want.

1 mile walk from two nice sandy beaches.

That's is what I was thinking but I was thinking maybe in the top right in or around the woods as that is more out of site!
