Touring areas I would recommend for an easy weekend on a trainline - East Suffolk coast, Dorset coast, or Welsh Black Mountains/Borders. Happy to give further tips.
Camping - not so good on this as I tend to wild camp everywhere! If you want a roof over your head, I always thought YHA Black Sail would be a lovely place to stay under cover in the Lakes, a hostel only accessible on foot/bike. Or any MBA shelter, if you bring a bit of firewood.

Hey, @IdealStandard and I are organising a little bike trip with a few friends for the first May bank holiday. As there will be around 6 of us - some who like their creature comforts – we'd like to find a campsite that has the feel of wild camping (ie. not dominated by camper vans/static caravans) but with some simple amenities...
There are varying abilities in the group, so we were thinking of getting a train somewhere on Friday night, camping over and then having an unladen day on Saturday followed by another night of camping, and then ride back to the station on Sunday afternoon for a (hopefully) sunny evening of boozing in London.
Can anyone recommend any good areas for touring, ideally on tracks with not too many roads? And also a campsite?? We're thinking of doing the Brother in the Wild route in the New Forest as it's accessible by train from London and the route is already planned, but open to ideas (but all campsites listed on coolcamping.com are booked!).
Thanks in advance
