So many wonderful places - so little holidays!

I'm sure that half the enjoyment of a caravan holiday is in the planning. Out with the maps and the site guides, planning an itinerary. Trouble is, I don't get nearly enough time off work to take advantage of all the great places to visit, most with a campsite not far away. Should I head for Brora or Dunnet and the beach or should I book Kinlochewe for the mountains? Of course, it's always difficult to know what the weather is going to do, even in June. (Especially in June?) I've not plucked up the courage yet to set off without booking all the sites I'm going to stay at - I know it gives me less flexibility but I don't want to turn up and find the site of my choice is full. It may be possible to 'wild' camp in a small campervan but with a large car and a caravan? Not so easy. Plus, I have to admit, I do like to have a hookup so that I can catch up with twitter and I'm not convinced the new battery I got on the internet, at a fraction of the price quoted locally, has enough oomph for more than one night without a recharge. So, campsites it is - you'll find out which ones I finally settled on in my next post!
