The Cornishman who helped shape the future of Britain's holiday parks industry by driving up quality standards has been recognised in the Queen's New Year's Honours list.

John Hick has been awarded an MBE for his services to tourism in his capacity as vice president of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association (BH&HPA). John has been an active member of the park industry's official body for over forty years, and in 1986 helped create the national grading scheme which set new quality goals for the UK's 3000-plus holiday parks.

We have 10 pairs of tickets for this great show to be won in our competition.

Guests at a Lakeland holiday park will be invited to take part in a series of dark deeds next year.

Skelwith Fold Caravan Park in Ambleside is to ask holidaymakers on six designated nights to extinguish their caravan lights, and to enjoy one of England's biggest star attractions.

More than 7000 stars will be visible, says owner Henry Wild, including the Milky Way and far-off galaxies which few people will ever have glimpsed before.

The number compares with the few hundred stars - at best - normally seen from town and cities where light pollution masks the universe's spectacular nightly display.

Seems to be a popular search so I have added Golf on site as a search tag in the campsite directory 

If you aren't sure what tags are, you can use them as a kind of quick search. So for example if you are looking for a campsite in Cumbria with golf on site, you would go to search, find the county, click "golf" then search. With tags, just click "golf on site" it will find all campsites with golf on site broken down by County.
