Best campsites in Britain

It's interesting, if you look up other web sites they all suggest different places. We've never stayed at the ones mentioned in TG's post and probably wouldn't as we know Cambriidge and Brighton quite well and have also visited Canterbury too. Unlike TG I think Canterbury is well worth a visit, so much history, especially our oldest English cathedral.

As motorhomers we don't pick sites near to bus stops unless they're sites we happen to want to visit. We see caravaners and motorhomers all using the bus stop at CAMC Hillhead, it saves on parking fees and scrambling through traffic in a very popular area and gives access to much of Torbay and the Dart for free. 

We don't have a favourite site but we do return to one or two quite often, Slapton Sands, Plymouth Sound, Keswick. Some like Hillhead, Exmoor House and Minehead are within very easy reach so they get return visits. Strangely, Putts Corner is very near but we've never wanted to go, it's situation just doesn't appeal although we like the area.

My post is as seen and noted  by us,, as to the sites that attract MCs over and above other LVs, and as we who have normally been on more sites per year than the majority of those who post , ,quite a good  idea of the demographics of site use

We tend to check timetables when we use publick transport saves a lot of hannging arround at bus stops ,and when a bus is delayed ,it makes for some very interesting conversations with those who do not normally use them

Some reviews of sites are honest. One not far from here says “this is possibly the best and worst site I have ever stayed at”..and goes on to explain.

The only one I've visited was Brighton during the "Beast from the East" back when I had my caravan.  Looking at Canterbury C&CC from a motorhomers's point of view it, along with C&CC at Salisbury & Oxford, seems ideal for a city visit. I seldom visit the same place twice so, in that sense, I don't have favourites.

Sounds like you visited the southwest in the busiest season, away from that everything improves greatly.

A good way of travelling at Hillhead we have found ,if the  bus service to and from  the site is crowded is to use the P&R on the main Brixham to Paignton Road,,problem at Hillhead is the small single deck buses on the Brixham route, that are needed as the roads are so narrow,

The hourly service to Paignton is normally not so crowded at going to Paignton but can be crowded on the return journey a certain times   ,

If they are in an area we want to visit most sites are OK for a couple of nights, wether they have public transport links or not. What we find a complete turn off is those with no safe footpath walking from the site, such as Burford. It would be in an idea location otherwise. We weren’t even interested when we had a caravan, as I don’t like being committed to using the car to go anywhere.
