Default Christmas in the MH?

Hi

Thinking of going away for Christmas in the MH (haven't had it long) anyone know of a good campsite in the South/South West that has a restaurant serving Christmas lunch

Or any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Gary

Bagwell Farm, Weymouth is open all year.

It has new hard standings for R.V`s & Motorhomes, right by the toilet block.

Gets busy xmas time and I am not sure if they open the restaurant for xmas, but it is closed normally out of high season.
But a frequent bus runs from the site into Weymouth Town centre. (Approx 3 miles away).

The site is set in a valley with beautiful views across chesil beach and the fleet lagoon.

Being where it is it is fairly sheltered from most prevailing winds, which you get a lot of on this coast in the winter. (And any time come to think of it )

Go for it. You know it makes sense.

well , it all depends on how important christmas dinner is to you

somehow , in the sun , a traditional english christmas dinner doesn't appeal to me , lighter fare seems much more appropriate !

now you just have to pick a route ....how long have you got?

I would have though most campsites that are open will be fully booked.
