The UK is one of the top holiday destinations for people from other countries, with several million visiting the country every year. And it is just as popular with UK residents as well, as it offers a cheaper holiday in beautiful surroundings and gives the local economy a boost as well. For those choosing a campervan holiday, the stunning coastlines and the National Parks such as Lock Lomond, Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons, the Peak District and the Lake District are all well liked choices, as they offer such a wide range of outdoor activities, tourist attractions, delicious cuisine and amazing views of the local scenery. Using a campervan in any (or all!) of these places is usually the best way to easily explore the area at your own pace.

A campervan holiday is a wonderful form of escapism and gives far more freedom than a Tour group holiday, or even staying at a hotel; with a campervan, holiday makers can stay close to busier areas for a few days if they wish, or they drive into the depths of the countryside and enjoy the solace which such areas offer. The choice is entirely theirs.

When taking a campervan holiday, there are a number of options available for stop offs. Firstly, they can stay in official camping sites. This is a great option for families travelling with younger children, as it allows them to socialise with other families on the road and provides some evening entertainment. These camping sites often have fun activities organised during the day as well. But camping in the peaceful surroundings of the countryside is also possible; just make sure to check beforehand, to avoid accidentally parking on someone else’s land. It’s important to not make any assumptions when parking the campervan for a night; always ask.

A campervan holiday can be a fantastic way to get to know the countryside of the UK, but there are practicalities to be thought about as well. To start off with, always remember to read up on rules of the road, to understand any kind of restrictions regarding larger vehicles. Planning journeys with Satellite Navigators as well as maps, so that getting lost is less and less likely.

For families with children, remember to take some snacks and things to keep them entertained, such as board games, music, toys and books. Over packing should be avoided as well; remember there is a limited amount of space and an overcrowded campervan can make for a stressful journey! Campervan parks such as Haven Allhallows offers its visitors plenty in terms of food and other supplies, so there is no need to overfill the campervan before setting off.
