Campsite Suggestions (not too far from Bristol)
Count down begins.....
As some of you are aware I am getting close to the testing stage of my Sankey Camping Trailer build.
Hopefully looking to go away on our first outing the weekend of the 25th/ 26th April. So all people surrounding Bristol beware
So where to go.....
I am looking for suggestions/ recommendations of some nice decent sites within approx 1hr of Bristol, for me to go and test the trailer
Don't want to venture too far on the first couple of outings just in case things go wrong/ it all falls apart
So if anyone has some decent sites that are close please let me have links/ details
Thanks in advance

You are always invited Ieuan.
And Stew that definatly sounds like a plan
I am away on holiday a bit during May but if we throw some dates around that could be a plan
Ok so now there is pressure to get it to a useable stage I promised SWMBO a nice weekend away in it at some point 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Sounds good Stew
I am not 100% sure on dates of when I am away. I know we are off to Rome and then Vietnam but need to check exact dates with SWMBO. I think that might limit my available weekends

Never really paid any attention to any of those rules.
Not noticed anything about a 1.5 tone limit? We've always been on grass in the riverside field but it's been a couple of years since we were last there.
