We have looked at going to a holiday camp like Pontins but none will take us without someone over 25. We are in Hertfordshire and want somewhere not too far to drive to (2-4 hours). We were hoping to find a good camp-site near the coast who take groups like ours. Any recommendations?


Answer
If you think about it, people go on holiday for a break away from the "norm" and tend to go to the coast for some peace and quiet. Imagine camping next to a group of noisy boisterous teenagers, and being kept awake all night. Suddenly, your dream holiday, (that you've worked all year for) becomes a nightmare, and "the holiday from hell." It is for that reason camp site owners object to groups of young single people, as the families tend to demand their money back, after their holiday has been ruined.
Might I suggest you try a youth hostel? There, activities suitable for young people can be arranged, and your behaviour will be properly monitored.
I am not suggesting for a moment that you are a bunch of unruly hooligans, but I'm not a campsite owner either. I can only say, I wouldn't accept a group of 18 year olds either, as I have stayed with my children, on a campsite nearby a group of rowdy youngsters, and it WASN'T a pleasant experience. I demanded my money back!!!!

Hello could camping, walking experts please answer this question?

I live in West Yorkshire with my family, me 15, brother 12 and mum and dad and in summer we are wanting to go on like a camping road trip.
We want to camp in 3 or 4 places in the space of 2 weeks. We want to start anywhere in the Lake District and end up anywhere in Scotland.
We like all types of camp site, isolated and busy, so a mixture would be nice.
Could anyone recommend any camp sites?



Answer
Some National Parks welcome wild camping, as long as you act responsibly and leave no trace of your visit behind you. Dartmoor have a map of areas where you can camp on common land, and the Brecon Beacons provide a list of farms that welcome campers. In the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs the Scottish Outdoor Access Code gives everyone the right to wild camp so long as you follow the guidelines.
