My family have been camping in the same field for over 40 years now
we always go for the August bank holiday
I have such fond memories of going there as a child :)
we used to play in the river all day, collect fire wood, go for walks or go apple/plum picking
then in the night we'd all sit around a huge campfire, toast marshmallows and sing, mostly Welsh rugby songs :)
It is a tradition that I am so pleased to be able to share with my daughters :)
So every August bank holiday you will find us in a little village called Hoarwithy near Ross on Wye

Now above you may have noticed i said field not campsite that is because this is proper camping :) Just a field with a tap at the top, you have to bring everything!
This fills most people with horror until I say that no toilets/showers means no roads so i know my kids are safe :)
Here is the field, Beautiful :)
The drip that I am lol means i forgot to take a picture of the tent!! i know!!
(I will take one when we go for the bank holiday in a few weeks!)
But i did take one of our "Tardis" Toilet tent :)
Anyway back to my favourite field :)
Here is the river where we swim, fish or canoe :)
From the field across the river is one of my favourite views ever, the church at Hoarwithy
when the sun starts to go down the fire is lit :)
My girls cwtching by the fire
Beautiful sunset

A beautiful spot! But the idea of camping in a field still brings back nightmares of my mis-spent youth - I won't go into details!!!
