My sister in law is 40 this year and it was all arranged with 2 cottage lets to have 10 of us over her birthday weekend.
unfortunately they have cancelled as the letting company has changed. Both cottages are now with another company at double the price this is very annoying as she has had them booked since last summer.
I have suggested we choose a campsite that has facilities that would allow the non caravan/motorhome owning members of the family book glamping pods or something similar.
any ideas are appreciated.
location was booked in Cumbria but anywhere we can walk or enjoy days on the coast are preferred.

The Camping & Caravan Club site at Ravenglass, Cumbria is very nice. It lists 3 camping pods in its facilities. Lovely walking country very handy. The miniature railway, 'Laal Ratty' starts about 100 yards from the site and takes you up to Boot, at the base of Scafell Pike.

enough to know i shouldnt touch things i know nothing about ....
a bit off the wall - but Wortley Hall in Sheffield has a CL site and lots of hotel accommodation - we had a big family christmas 'do' there a couple of years ago and arranged it around a medieval feast they had planned - brilliant weekend - we had private use of a large room for our private party, with the bar (at very reasonable prices) about 20 yards away !!

its not the Ritz, but its a fairly priced venue that offers lots of opportunities for family fun and games

An alternative would be the Riverside campsite at Stratford upon Avan, has glamping pods and static caravans to rent as well as lots of pitches for caravans, motorhomes - again, another location we have used for family gatherings - we werent as 'together' as we were at Wortley Hall, but it was great location, especially as the Stratford River Festival was on at the same weekend (which is why we booked it!)

The common thread is - look for somewhere that has something else going on at the same time - it gives you additional options at not a lot of extra cost !

for a whole lot of fun, we bought a 20 person tent - has 10 separate bedrooms, each sleeps 2 people - you dont have to put all the bedrooms up, so you can use it to sleep 12 (6 bedrooms) and leave four bedrooms out, gives a great party area !!

everyone put money towards it and we put it up in the garden at home - its been used 3 or 4 times since for hen parties, friends fun weekends etc - if you can find one for sale, its well worth buying if you can get one at the right price of course - our only problem is storing the bloody thing as it comes in 3 big holdalls !!

If you ventured just over the border - when allowed etc - you might like to try the Galloway Activity Centre. They have glamping, camping, sheds, yurts and a bunk house, I think. PLUS direct access to the water. You can hire watercraft there as well. It's kid friendly if you have any in your party.

Ccc, The oval, Keswick have those safari type tents. They look big from the outside. Has been a couple of years since there so assume tents are still there. Further up road to the ccc Keswick site. Go past the rugby club and the turn off for the Keswick site, past the static site and you are there. Has millions spent on it a couple years ago. New loo block etc. It’s really nice. Two ways of walking into town, over the fields, great if you’ve dogs, or along the road.

Just a thought
