Basic Campsite for Backpacking
Q. Does anyone know of any websites listing very basic campsites for
backpackers?
Dominic Jaume
A. Sound like something we might think about - would anyone else find this useful?

A. I've recently bought a tent to take my very young family for their first camping trip, having trawled through loads of websites featuring caravan parks by the thousand I can vouch for the fact that their is a need for a site featuring more basic campsites.
All I want is a field, a tap (or stream) and a good view, a toilet block would be nice but showers are an absolute luxury and an electric hook-up is missing the point of camping entirely.
The thought of a caravan park sends a shiver down my spine.
If you could recommend any good campsites in the Cambridge area I'd really appreciate any info.
Thanks very much

A. I too would like help in finding campsites that just for families and their tent.
It is practically impossible to find a 'nice' campsite, ie just tents, no caravans, mobile homes and open till late disco's.
To us camping is for being outdoors and having space to run and play with the children whilst enjoying the countryside.

A. We have a field with pretty stream and badger set, lovely veiws with great walking. Located in a quiet area of North Cornwall, yet accesable to all the regular delights of Cornwall.
We are considering offering very basic camping on a small scale - any one interested?
Jo Hughes, Wadebridge
A. Field? badgers? Stream? Your field sounds ideal. It's great that you may be making it accessible legally while acknowledging the spirit of the wild camping.

A. Your field sounds ideal, it is just the type of place we have been looking for.

A. Hi - we own a farm near Tavistock - right out in the countryside, stunning views, sheep, cows and are thinking of doing basic camping. Is anyone interested and what would you be looking for?
