One of my wife’s friend’s husband and myself for the last couple of years have been taking the kids away for a camping experience in the Easter break, while the wives are busy earning the readies. I know it’s a bit early in the season, but we make sure we are well and truly equipped with sleeping bags and extra duvets for the cold nights, + it tends to be a bit more of a wilderness experience with far less people around. We take twice as many clothes as the children need and still end up having to dry out water filled wellies and mud encrusted trousers, still once they’ve put them on again they’re as good as new, they may walk with straight legs for 5 minutes but hey that’s camping. We’ve been going to Nant Gwynant campsite in the heart of Snowdonia. The campsite even has showers and toilets! which is a bonus with the young ones, I think it can get pretty busy but if you choose off peak time you can strike it lucky, we pitched right beside the river bank, and the kids were in and out of the water even though it certainly made you wince. Campsite allows fires (although the wood has to be purchased on site) and we all had a fantastic time. thanks to Duncan for telling us about this lovely campsite!
