many thanks for the input,im coming from newcastle upon tyne.But ive been to most zoos in the uk and stayed in travel lodges,so trying to see if there are camp sites near most zoos in the midlands(twycross) down to port lympne zoo.                                                                                                                                                                             

there was one place we stayed at near royston and baldock , near the M1 i think very quiet  even though near the motorway (caravan and camping club) and we done about 5 zoo`s with in 30 miles.....a505 baldock < linton zoo,duxford,woburn abbey,broxbourne,whipsnade park, etc >                                                                                                                                                                             

many thanks mad mic.Any you know in south heartfordshire as there are a few zoos that would like to revisit.

as my last post royston/baldock A505 just north of STEVENAGE HERTS.                                                                                                                                                                             

i am assuming your taking your kids if going to zoo!  Just make sure thats thiers an overnight warden and you choose a family campsite.  I have recently heard that one family turned up to a forestry campsite only to be kept awake all night by inconsiderate bikers giving it welly on thier bikes, and basically being a nuisance. So be careful.  Can ruin a holiday!!   Check campsites out here there are reviews!! http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/   Have fun Colchester zoo sounds fun!!   Momeg
