Hi, best wishes to the lovely Nene and proper Northampton boots. Bad news though....it would be very difficult to find a campsite anywhere in UK or even in most of Europe or the USA that will accept bookings from people under 18 years old. It's a shame because just outside of Northampton is Billing Aquadrome which is a great place to stay in chalets caravans or tents.

Sad but that's just how it is. Even with good Blindell Northampton shoes on they won't let you stay if you're both under 18 ...now how on Earth would that name come up?
You can however camp in the grounds of Youth Hostels if you join the YHA.....link on the bottom of here after all the bad news.

So it's not the amazing help you really wanted but what is amazing is the number of people who camp out wild all over UK perfectly illegally.
It's at your own risk and it doesn't have the facilities of a camp site but for a night or two away if you have a tent and sleeping bags it can be good fun if you don't get caught doing it....wild camping, that is.
Illegal camping.
Here's all about it and it might not suit what you want but it's there as an option anyway if you are very careful.
Just pretend it says Northampton...it's exactly the same as in Kent, Essex, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire, the wilds of Yorkshire or my own county of Hertfordshire after my Dad moved really deep south from sunny Northampton (??? Funny...thought the Nene and all those lakes came from rain or something. Oh right...it rains...coooh, fancy that!) to the high hills of Hertfordshire before I was born.

Here's another one for the Medway which is even wetter than Northampton...it's near the east Kent marshes

Have fun anyway...one day the world will be yours ...18 at last, hehe.......

Where to (legally) car camp near Killington during ski season?
superskier
I'm looking for a place to car camp near Killington for a night or two where we won't get in trouble and it won't be sketchy. any ideas?
Answer
If you are crashing in the bed of a pick-up with a cap or in a van there are several options.
On Route 4 between the Killington access road and Pico, directly across from the Inn at The Long Trail is a parking area for the Pico trail. It's pretty big and cars park there all the time overnight. Similarly just downhill from the entrance to Pico is the parking area for the LT/AT. Neither are private or good for tents, but a vehicle parked there overnight usually won't draw too much attention from the Rutland Co. Sheriff or the VT State Police.
Another option is the parking area for Kent Pond just north of the Route 4/100 intersection. There are signs there saying no overnight parking, but I've seen cars there overnight in winter. The parking area is on the west side of Route 100. Go in late and get out early.
If you want some more info, email me with a way to contact you. Since you don't allow e-mail through Y! Answers, I can't drop you a line. I lived in the area for over 6 years and know a ton of other places you could crash and I'd give you some more info, but I'm not about to post names and phone numbers in an open forum.
If you TRUELY want an adventure, consider loading your backpack with winter gear and taking the last chair ride to spend the night at Cooper Lodge. You can ski into the shelter and ski out for first tracks in the morning. This requires some planning and some prep, and I'd be happy to give you the beta on how to do this too.
