Trying to book a caravan site in Dorset and they're telling us they've had so much rain that their sites are too muddy. Has it been drier further east, towards London maybe? What about Mid Wales? Thinking of places within 2 hours or so of Cardiff.

Just tell them you've got an SUV and an adventurous streak.

We were in Northumberland over the weekend and other than a short heavy shower on Saturday night it didn't really rain much; we were surprised how sodden everything was when we got back to the midlands!

What about Mid Wales?
Have just got back from a few days there & at times it was like being at the wrong end of a jet washer

The default situation is it's raining and if it isn't actually raining it has just rained or it will be raining very soon

Whereabouts in Dorset?
We are off to Birchwood Park just outside Wareham on Fri, they are happily open.

Northumberland as often is the case but it's rubbish here so don't come, especially with a cravan.

I'd leave the caravan at home and book into a nice B&B.

I'm sure you would. But bollocks to staying in a B&B with young kids, frankly. We've done this before, my preference is not for B&Bs so let's leave it there.

Booked somewhere in the New Forest now.

Oooo yes I didn't read that bit, sorry... ๐Ÿ™ Yes, it is rather distant from, let's be honest, everywhere...

I was just going to suggest n.f. it is wet down here but it is quick draining on many of the campsites and some have hard standing
