BanditMike 0 Posted June 21, 2012 Right. Have we got a campsite sorted? Given the school holidays are closing in rapidly, need to look at booking up. Given we've got a split between b&b and camping, someone has a walk back on the Saturday evening after the ride out There are shed loads of campsites in and around, but these look to be two of the better ones. Does anyone know which would suit us best? Or is there another cheaper option? These look to be between £14-£29 for the nightPark Foot Camping & Caravan Park - Pooley Bridge, Ullswater Waterside House Camping Site - Pooley Bridge, Ullswater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckberry 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Its not often i am in the right place, but i am in north yorks. There are some great roads up here, and some great campsites. I was riding through Dent a bonny little place an d spied a campsite full of old cars, i stopped thinking it was a show and found out it was a car club having there own rally. Dant is a great central spot for rides to the lakes, and the Dales. Sorry for the folks down sarf but its the only thing we have up here, you get the sunshine. All the best Chuck.
