Does anyone know of any any budget campsites preferably not caravan club, in the Southampton or Portsmouth area. I'm looking to camp while i work down there for a few weeks. Cheers!

If you want to meet for a ride while you are down here let me know, you can store your bike securely in my garage if you want.

The [url= http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/13465/ ]Travellers Rest[/url] pub in Newtown (just outside Portsmouth, between Wickham+Denmead) has a little campsite. We stayed there last year to test out our new tent with nipper. Its got a decent pub that does food and has a sh*tter, not a lot else around. Nice and quiet. Also close to me if you want to get out onto some local trails.

I tend to ride around Lordswood as I live about 300 metres from it and it is close to the General Hospital. I know a few bits around the NF but not enough to really make a ride, the newForce boys (40mpg etc) are best for that.

I can see about organising a ride in a couple of weekends time I guess. i am heading down to Bristol this Saturday and am doing Mountain Mayhem at some point in June but other than that I am fairly free.
