Where should we go camping?

Question

First time campers (two people, couple) looking for the following: long weekend away under canvas in September, max 3 hour train journey from London, remote and picturesque style camp site with minimal facilities but maximum feel of being in the middle of nowhere :-)

Answer 1

I dont know how far away it is or how you'd get there by train but i reccoment 'Waxham Sands' Near greatyarmouth/Hemsby!

Right next tooo the beach and yet in the middle of no-where.

NO Amuseements or houses Nearbuy

Showers/bathrooms/shop

Big hill then sandy beach but a VERY quiet onee

If Youur lucky you will see seals

Or if youur Very lucky like us someone wil tell you where the colony is && Youu will see about 90 !! --> They are beautiful !

Fantastic!!

Make it a short camping trip but a long flight. Hop on a plane come to west virgina rent some camping supplies or just walk up the first dirt drivway you see most of us have 10 plus acres put u up in the barn of course you can do this in your own country at least I did 4 yrs ago rented a car and drove out into some wonderful country started getting dark and the rental was running like c**p I drove into the first large farm yard had a short talk stayed 4 days with them wonderful people. Paid my way with some labor. They didn't want me too untill I told them Not only was I a veteran but was born on a farm in northern Michigan. Didn't work hard just a few hours in the early morning my wife as well. when it was time to go home His wife and mine cried and hugged good by.They made it for the funeral Still try to keep in touch. you need to find one for your self. Ps we stayed on the property but did not live in the house had camping gear and they owned 60 acres plenty of room but they joind us too. I was a wonderful experiance for a red neck like me.
