How to choose the perfect campsite for your 2024 tours!

One of the best things about caravanning is the opportunity to go wherever you want, at the drop of a hat.

And this is the time of year when you can enjoy making your plans for the year ahead – after all, the anticipation of trips to come is all part of the fun!

The right campsite can make or break your tour, though, so how do you find the best site for your needs? Here’s are four things you need to consider:

Location, location, location… make sure that your site is in the perfect spot for easily accessing nearby attractions. Want to leave your towcar on site and take public transport? Check that’s available, too.
Whether it’s sparkling clean washrooms or a dedicated dog walk, decide on your site must-haves before you start looking – then stick to them.
We’re all trying to save money at the moment, so it’s crucial that a site suits your budget. Look for special deals and consider staying midweek for a cheaper stay.
No one can give better advice on great campsites than other caravanners – check out reviews carefully before booking.
