At the request of lost lrpers, I've finally included a list of lrp sites. I hope you find it useful.
If you are interested in booking any of the sites listed here, please contact them directly (via post or website if there is a link) to find out cost and availability. Costs can change according to season, facilities used and number of people attending, and as such would be too lengthy and boring to list here, so please ask the site warden for details.
This page is continiously under development, if you have any details for
any sites I would be most grateful for the information!

| Candlestone | Nr Cardiff, Wales | End of the M4 and on abit. | This beautiful site is based near the

along extensive sand dunes. Wonderful scenery though soft sand can be hard
going sometimes. You know when you've been to Candlestone! Facilities are
basic, with a dutch barn housing the toilets, showers and washing facilities.
Beware that this is all gas powered so sometimes the water isn't hot. In the
summer there may be fire restrictions though there are movable altar firepits
in use. Strictly a camping site, though there are nearby B&B's apparently.
