OK forget Gina Ford, I need a holiday. I'm not generally a camper, but cash is tight. Anyone got any recommendations for a nice uk break in mid June, mum dad 3 yrs and 1 yr. I don't really get how camping works with littlies - basically they both sleep well (ish) as long as they are in their own little beds in separate (dark) rooms...so maybe a cabin style affair?


Thanks :-)

Hmm I've been looking and there are some awesome places - all kinds of treehouses and yurts etc - but I just can't envisage how this would work with very young children - at the moment they both sleep in cots and have never shared a room....and I can't imagine how bath time etc would work (am I being completely anal?!?). Maybe better fun for them when older?


France seems to be where it's at though. This place looks fab!

SB: My friend Steph went glamping with a then 4mo old and 3yr old, and loved it. I believe they went to somewhere in Suffolk (sorry for being vague). Do you want me to put her in touch with you about it all? Here is her blog about it: http://imcountingufoz.com/blog/glamping-474

I've done lots of times pre-kids but also can't imagine it with little ones. I think that although there are seperate 'rooms' in the big tents they are really not rooms and there is no sound proofing. If you could relax a bit about bedtimes then it would ok, but my little girl has a melt down if she gets overtired and I like it when she goes to bed.


I think you would just have to forgo the baths for washes or if your kids are ok, showers. We looked into it in June and I think I have decided that either chalet or a cottage is the way forward at this stage. Mine would be 2 1/2 and a few months old when we are looking to go. Something fun when they are a bigger I think.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
