The proper camping experience

Proper camping in the UK as a rule means wind, rain and a battle to "make the most of it". But a stiff upper lip and getting on with it is the British way. For me that means none of your glamping malarkey but tents you pitch yourself and a back to basics experience. A detox from the telly box is mandatory and wifi distinctly off the menu. This weekend the usual end of the world weather is absent and campers are faced with the unusual challenge of sun burn and seeking the shade. Each field has been filled to the brim with tents of all shapes and sizes as teenagers downing yagerbombs rub shoulders with families with under 5's revelling in staying up past 10 o'clock.  For the campsite owner delivering a quality experience to this breadth of customers could be a challenge but the approach is fairly consistent. Simple tariffs. Limited facilities with basic showers and toilets and maybe a low key shop and that is your lot. But the customer experience is generally a good one. What you get out of your experience is up to you. Find your spot. Don't forget anything and enjoy a weekend absent of all the usual challenges of modern life. Epic customer experience is in your hands.
