I recently returned from a couple of days camping with my friend and god-daughters. As I'm the only person who had camped before I booked a pitch on a small site 5 miles from their house. That way if the two girls (both under five) weren't enjoying themselves or the British weather did it's usual and wouldn't stop raining we could pack up and head home.
The site was fantastic. A small family run site with a mix of static caravans, tourers and tents spread over 3 fields. There was a small shop with a good selection of produce including local cakes and free range eggs.
We were the only tent pitched in our field and the girls enjoyed running around without any obstacles to avoid. Free range chickens, ducks and geese have run of the camp and on more than one occasion an inquisitive chicken had to be shoo'd away from supper preparation.
We had a trip to visit Mary Arden's house and farm which was in the next village. There was a great little cafe which provided a change my camping stove cooking. The girls enjoyed seeing all of the animals and had a good play in the playground.
The girls enjoyed themselves so much that I need to look for another local campsite we can head off to when the break up at they end of the month.
