Have you thought of coming to the Boating, Camping and Caravan Exhibition at the NEC in a couple of weeks? It runs from the 23rd to 28th Feb and there are always stands with people promoting Camp Sites all over the UK and Europe, as well as the Camping & Caravan Club sites.
We go for the canal boat exhibitors (husband reckons he's too old for tents anymore); it's a good day out with plenty to see and if you need some extra equipment and gadgets there are usually goodies like that, too.
We used to belong to the Camping Club and found their sites to be good; afraid I don't have my sites books anymore.
You could also try the Tourist Information Office and ask them to send camp site information - they may have a details of Farm sites.
Love Lyme Regis if you want to try a spot of sea side.not too far from Axminster

Will it be worth it to take my tent through Europe?

I am planning to travel Europe mainly by bicycle alone. Probably Greece-italy-Slovenia-Austria-Germany-
Will it actually save money to bring my tent with? Or should I rather leave the hassle of the tent and sleep in hostels. What will be the cheapest?
I have a feeling it may be cheaper to go by hostels, because i have to pay for my tent site, and not for one person as I would have at a hostel. Or maybe I am wrong... could camping be cheaper?
Answer
Get your backpack packed-
The most important item you will need for your backpacking tour of Europe is, of course, the backpack. Suitcases are bulky and hard to lug around everywhere. Plus, your looking to save money and backpacking is the way to do it. So, on the to backpack itself. This piece of gear will be your best friend on your trip and you need to make sure you get the bag that is right for your body and needs. Most major sporting goods stores will carry backpacks and have a very well informed staff that can fit a back to you that will fit your needs perfectly. Don't settle on this step. If you have to try on twenty backpacks until you find the one that offers the most comfort then so be it. These stores should also have weight bags they can place inside of your backpack so that you can know how they will feel with a heavy load in them. Again, do NOT settle on this step, you will regret it later.
Housing-
So you've bought your backpack. Pat yourself on the back because you are now on your way! The next item you will want to pick up is a lightweight tent. Camping is by a mile the cheapest way to travel through Europe.
Touch down-
So you've made it to Europe! Yay! Time to take out that guide book and find a place to stay, get set up and hit the town! Have fun!
