That's good to know, Looking back at old threads that seems to be the view of a lot of people,
And it looks great for photo's too.

I stayed there last year for about the third year running but the owners told me it was going up to £20 for 2012.

Thanks for that, £20 is still a reasonable fee, still works out a good deal.

I'ts still worth every penny :biggrin:

I agree it is great value and viewing position but it is still £15/£20 to park and view for the day whether you camp or not.Apparently Totterdown is only £5 park and view min £10 per car.I think Totterdown is more expensive to camp though.It's down to personal preference where people choose but I thought last year most of the displays seemed to be more over Totterdown than over Rhymes so I am still undecided where I shall go this year.

I think the only thing that is missing is some night time entertainment, where my tent was last year I could hear 3 or 4 knds of music playing.
