Whats the chance of getting a booking for the bank holiday ?....looking to pitch a 6 birth tent around Bala to use the lake (kids want to use the rubber dinghy )
I relise i,ve left it very late , but has anyone any links / suggestions to sites that may be a bit out of the way (less sort after ) that i can try to book for the bank holiday ?

Thanks

Or anywhere recommended about 1.5 hours from Warrington Cheshire that i might get in at short notice ?.

I,m not a fussy person , just promised my wife and 10 and fourteen old boys we would be going "somewhere" preferably to use the 3 man dinghy aswell , so i,m easly pleased ....just want to book something for the experience . Anywhere will do ..lol..
Rang two places tonight and fully booked .


Thanks again

Mel

Kids holidays and bank holidays combined are a nightmare!
I'd go for one of the farm campsites on the main road between Keswick and Windermere as they're rarely full and there's plenty of lakes nearby to choose from

I have saved that site to my favorites, it looks lovely, just the sort of quiet site I like. Have a great time, will be interested to hear all about it when you come back. xx
