We are going on holiday. This in itself is a Big Thing. At the risk of sounding pitiable and needy (which we emphatically are not!) we do not have the money to spend on holidays. However, a combination of factors led us to take the decision that a break away is just what this family needs.
My brief was to find somewhere cheap, that we would all enjoy and that wasn’t too far away – long journeys and Wees just aren’t the best combination. I also wanted to find somewhere that would give us a taste of real camping before we started thinking about how we could buy our own tent, just in case it was an unmitigated never-to-be-repeated disaster.
I had heard that Eurocamp, famous for their pre-erected and furnished tents in France had come over to the UK, but their sites seemed somehow dreary and half-hearted. They are also jolly steep. However, I now had the bit between my teeth and I marched on with Google by my side… and then I came across THIS
Who could possible resist? To further cement the deal (which was SO done by now anyway), the site is one mile from Scarborough – one mile from winkles, crab claws, fish & chips, bucket & spades, donkey rides, sea, sand, soggy sandwiches: everything! There is a little wood-burning stove in the tipi, the charges are the same all year round (these are ethical people!), children are free, dogs are free, you can rent a gas stove from them, they have a green philosophy – I could go on… but you know the best thing of all: they are SO friendly and I just know we are going to have the best 3 nights of our lives… and Wee2 can just roll around the tipi – he won’t even have to get up to bed-hop!
Anyway – here is the link to the lovely Pinewood Holiday Park (which sounds horribly like a Haven Holiday Park – but is quite very much not!)
