Weekend games & camping

[Hudson]

As it's nearly 2025, it's time to take stock of the last year and how it's been.

 

For me, it's been somewhat of a disappointment on the Airsoft front; with a mix of poor timings and worse weather leading to fewer days out than I've been wanting.

 

In response, I'm looking forward to the new year and hoping to change that!

 

I'm based in the North East, which for me, is not great when it comes to Airsoft.

Most of the sites up here have little to interest me which means there's been a lot of travelling on the few times I've been able to get out.

 

Trying to make it a bit more efficient, I'm looking at weekend games, so that I can split up the travelling so I'm not driving 3/4+ hours each way.

 

What sites are there that offer either games on both Saturday and Sunday, and/or allow camping on the night before?

Specifically, I'm interested in outdoor sites; woodland and urban. Purely indoor CQB holds little interest to me nowadays.

 

I'm not necessarily talking about specific weekend events/milsims etc. but more towards normal open days, though they aren't to be ruled out.

 

The nearest one to me that offers this is No Man's Land, where they run games on both days of the weekend, and there's also Phoenix Airsoft that does similar, from what I've seen; though I've not been.

 

Is there anywhere that offers what I'm looking for, or am I likely to be out of luck?

 

Anyway, happy new years to you all!

Possibly a bit far but IIRC Rift do games on Saturday and Sundays. I don't know if they allow camping on site, you'd have to check with them

Phoenix Airsoft

Ugh. I'd avoid that place unless your idea of a good airsoft event is being in staged videos for a dickhead goontuber

Combat Airsoft in Thetford Norfolk do sat/sun and i think you can camp in their car park. They also do night games and they're in the middle of the woods with nothing around them. My first ever game was a night game there and it was good. Run by very nice people with a good woodland site with CQB "buildings" in the middle.

Avoid Phoenix Airsoft like the plague.  Gunman Airsoft have several sites around the country and a new one opening near Lincoln, they do various themed weekends that are pretty damn good.  Ranges from Cold War and Vietnam stuff right upto the Modern Okto 8 series and even a Stalker based game.
