Campsite recomendations - Gloucestershire / North Somerset

I'm looking for a site to pitch up at in this area, safe (to leave the bike) and with a pub nearby for some food and maybe a glass or two of Cola.

Somewhere within the Gloucester/Swindon/Bristol triangle, or even north to Tewesbury.

Any suggestions ?

Look, I know it's down south, but there must be a halfway decent site that the intepid explorers from XT660 can hold up for the night???

Anyone ??

You tried asking at the HUBB? might be more of a membership down there.

I'm finding that the HUBB is becoming a little, erm, polorised these days..... Have you noticed the death or glory debates on hard or soft luggage ? Jeasus some people get really defensive about thier standpoint!

and never, ever mention Landrovers, less the Toyota brigade (once they've got thier brakes to work) will pounce and leave not a scrap of flesh....

I might aske the question over there, but sometimes it's a bit 'light blue touch paper and stand well back'...

OK keep your pants on! I've used a camp site at a small village called Mere, Nr Glastonbury. Small place but does have showers, no other facilities. Village has pub and small shop. Very friendly but very basic. That's my input.

This place- http://www.brooklodgefarm.com/index....w-to-get-to-us is down near Cheddar I think, maybe too far south?
I know of one over the border that's worth a visit, but obviously not that near your destination?
My mum lives in the area you are describing though...

When/Where are you heading for, you would be more then welcome to stop over at our house, but it is a bit further south then looking.

Saturday 15th May, but there will be three of use (stoicbloke, Bart1 and me).

The area is just a suggestion really, it needs to be 2/3 hours ride south of Warrington but within 2/3 hours of <edit> Plymouth (without motorwayss, or busy dual rubbish). We need a stop-over to meet up (coming from Wales, Ireland, and Northern England) and then meet up with Doug on the Sunday morning (hence the 2/3 hours from Warrington) before heading to Plymouth for the afternoon ferry.

If anyone fancies meeting on the Saturday night, then please speak up.

Got you.
I've done from my house to Portsmouth in 2 hours avoiding m-ways as much as possible. This- http://www.thehappycampers.co.uk/campsitedetails/71/ is just over the bridge, a little bit north of Chepstow. It's a nice site, quiet, and with a 10min walk to the pub. Nice facilities and fires.
