places to camp in u.k

it is great that they're coming with you - my dd is 14 and likes it once she's there, but somehow thinks it's not cool till she remembers how nice the tent is...

Must admit I do find looking for sites stressful. Not that we are loud but I can't see my lot being in bed asleep by 9. :rotfl:

Some reviews I have read have people moaning about other campers talking at 10.30 :eek:

I would be one of those who wants to erect a tent by a lake in the middle of some reclusive forest, somewhere where nobody can hear you scream.

it's a balance isn't it?

We're not night owls, but I did find myself having a bit of a mutter at Seahouses last week ( rukes say quiet at 11pm) when a big family group of about 8 families let their kids run around screaming and shouting and chasing each other around the site at 7 in the bleddy morning - while the parents stood and nattered to each other. It's fair enough if people had been partying at 2 in the morning, I'm all for letting a little light revenge go on, but every pitch was quiet after about 10 at night, just couples talking to each other, no music, most of us were asleep!! I think folks need to keep it down to reasonable levels between 11 and 8 - no screaming in between that thank you very much ( not unless you stand on an upturned plug - then it's allowed:rotfl:)

And, since you've made your mind up already, get navigation details for Lake of Menteith, it's the only "lake" in Scotland. ( The rest are lochs!:D)

I don't know if I'll be able to persuade him to go north of the border again. He went twice, and ended up with me ...
