La Rosa Campsite Extraordinaire (Whitby/ U.K.) [May. 8th, 2012|05:52 pm]

theirea


At "La Rosa Campsite Extraordinaire" visitors can stay in gypsy wagons and circus tents. It's surrounded by the North Yorkshire Moors National Park so the camping is low energy (candles and fairy lights), low pollution (no nasty chemicals or generators) and respectful to wildlife (the quieter you are the more chance you have of seeing the deer).
