Halloween is my daughters birthday, and every year (so far anyway) we have a party on the Saturday before and go away for a few days afterwards.
Obviously with the purchase of Bobby earlier in the year, we had to take full advantage of it!
So deciding to go local (which I am glad we did), I looked on a 'campsite recommendation site' and found 'Upwood Park' in Oxenhope, near Howarth - http://www.upwoodpark.co.uk/
I have been to Howarth and Oxenhope many times in my life, but some how, I managed to miss all of the beautiful scenery and the 'special' places that I like to take pictures of at night.
When we got to the site, we were welcomed by a barrier in the road, once though the barrier, we were shown to our pitch and then went to reception to get the security key fob and had a quick beer in the bar, then remembering I had forgotten some supplies, I nipped into the onsite shop and bought the oats for the morning breakfast (not overly expensive at all, though the stock is a little limiting).
Setting up the van was easy on the hard standing, and within about 20 mins we had everything plugged in and food on the hob! Now comes the amazing side - the toilets - beautiful and I even considered sleeping in them they were that warm, but the radio 2 that's piped into them would probably drive me insane!
A nice, comfortable and warm night :)
The following morning, we went to Howarth itself (via a nice sight seeing run) and had some cheap and cheerful cafe food. Then a little sight seeing trip and back to the campsite.
We decided to have a wonder around the site and Chloe loved the onsite play area! Then it was time for dinner and bed!
Last day, so packing up and driving home :(
All in all, a great site, will be going again for the 'Santa steam railway' and more than likely a few more times next year.
I was amazed how quiet the site was, the site is under a flight path from Leeds Bradford airport and also has Oxenhope International airport literally on the door step!
