How to plan, find and book campsites and places to stop over - Part 1

Описание: Looking to plan your next trip away we share how we go about booking campsites and places to stay.

It’s a method of planning and considerations when booking either campsites or informal stopovers/wild camping spots. Whether you have a campervan, a motorhome, a caravan, tent or indeed any other type of camping or glamping we share with you some ideas on getting organised and planning and booking places to stay.

We cover both the impromptu, weekends away as well as longer trips with the considerations of when, where and what facilities you’re looking for as well as what’s in the area.

Some tips on apps which can help you find where to go to stop over, also on the major clubs and a basic overview of membership and how to book a site.
