I am after a campsite that meets the following criteria:
1) Accepts Dogs
2) Has a nice pub (not your weatherspoon rubbish) within a 2 mile raduis - which also welcomes dogs.
3) Has showers and basic facilities onsite
4) Is in a nice part of the UK/Wales/Scotland (location unimportant, as long as scenic)
5) Allows small, contained campfires.
Suggestions or recommendations very welcome :y

I love the Lake District personally and although never visiting this camp site myself, I favour cottage breaks, this one comes highly recommended. check it out or others nearby. The scenery is simply stunning!

What exactly was the problem with Linda's campsite?
She was very pleasant to us :-/

Kipford Caravan Site, on the Firth of Solway.
Its a great site and allows dogs. Local pub is just under a mile walk which gets you ready for your first pint and always accepts dogs (been taking ours in for years).
Only thing is not sure about open fire. I know they will allow bbq but not sure on the open fire. Lovely woods nearby where u can disapear for hours without seeing a person (great for couples ::) or familys ;D).

The owner could have been quite at home in Colditz ..... my last memory of her was as she was storming towards our caravan to pull the plug on our 'van cos we were 'stealing her electric'! :-? :-?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Check this site out http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/
Could help you out if it's just caravan sites, I know quite a few in good locations (no open fires though) but if you want tents, try the link above.

http://www.wdlh.co.uk/Parks/Highlands-End.aspx
Its where i go nearly every year.....used to always have a static van....last couple of years do camping :y
Pub/resturant/shop onsite
And im going again this year shortly......
Only downside.....not that cheap....and they charge extra for dogs
But the facilities are spotless clean.......several toilet/shower blocks/hot water always :y
And just added they dont mind bbq's......if you get the throw away types....they even provide bricks so you dont burn the grass :y

James, I would recommend 2 sites:
1) Edale - Coopers campsite. Facilities are basic although there is a cafe on site and a good pub just outside the site gates. Dogs are welcome at both site and pub. Prices are very reasonable on the site. Countryside is fantastic.
2) Ashbourne (Derbyshire) - Callow top. At the other end of the spectrum, facilities are great. Outdoor pool, assigned pitch numbers, pub on site. Dogs welcome. A bit more expensive, in line with facilities.
Both are on ukcampsite.co.uk

One I've used (and still do) in Cornwall is Calouse Caravan park, about 5m from St Ives. Nice quiet site, onsite clubhouse and games room, outside pool etc. Trouble is, anything off site will be a car trip...

The site more than makes up for the basic website, its beautiful, kingfishers fly up and down the river behind where you pitch, buzzards and eagles etc regulary fly overhead, quite, peacefull and relaxing, it all depends i supose what you want from a camp site, if its loud music and club house then its not the place to go. I have been there many time although not for the last few years and think it is a wonderful place and a good centre to explore the forest of Dean and Wye Valley, Simmons Yat etc etc. :y

This one is just north of Norwich and is like real camping used to be when you were a Boy Scout!
Fantastic little known camp site where you can burn wood on an open fire all night long!
And the people who run it are brilliant, you even have the run of the big hall that is on the camp site and the use of a fridge and cooking gear.

That sounds like a great campsite, proper camping........... :y :y :y

I've taken my 3 teenage kids a couple of times and we reckon it is the best camp site in England!
If you go in the school holidays the place is empty, they even provide the fire wood, it really is camping as it used to be years ago.

That surprises me, as I would have thought that Cubs, Scouts, and other youth groups would have been using it........... :-/ :-/
-
I think because it is set up as an educational camp it works on the same time scale as the schools, all I know is in the school holidays it is empty apart from families.
