...I’ve been looking at campsite online as we want to camp in August and a lot of sites book up quickly.
I started looking at smaller, family and dog friendly sites near the sea, then I moved on to looking at holiday parks where you can camp (the type with pools and entertainment etc). I may have made the mistake of showing K the website for one such site and she loved the look of it.
This evening I have realised two flaws in this plan. Firstly, for 2 tents, 2 cars, 4 adults, 2 children and the dog in peak season we will be looking at just under £600 for a week. Factor in petrol, food, drink, activities etc and the price gets a little ouchy.
Secondly, the dog cannot swim in a pool, a lot of beaches don’t let dogs visit in the summer months, dogs cannot go to evening entertainment shows or eat in restaurants. I suddenly realised I hadn’t thought this through properly.
I’ve gone back to my first plan and found a lovely woodland site. It’s already booked up for all the summer weekends but we could get 4 days during the week, which migh tbe better anyway given that camping with children and a dog probably will probably be quite hard work!
Hubby likes the plan so I just need to run it by K and then as soon as we have a dry day get the tents out to check them for damage/size etc.
