Planning a UK road trip in your camper? Knowing where to stop overnight can be tricky and require a lot of research! Fortunately, Landseer Leisure makes it easy. From the facilities to the costs, our team has put together this handy guide to some of the best campsites for campervans in the UK.
What makes a campsite campervan-friendly?
When you’re looking for a campervan-friendly campsite, don’t settle for tolerance – find a campsite that openly welcomes campervan owners! Some key features to look out for when planning your next camper road trip includes:
Hardstanding, level camping pitches
Unfortunately, even the smallest of slopes can make a big difference to your overall campervan experience. From the quality of your sleep to the performance of your electrical appliances, level and stable campervan camping pitches are essential for your enjoyment.
Access to water and waste disposal
Essential for all campervan owners is fresh water access and waste disposal. All good campervan campsites should therefore offer fresh water taps and either sewer hookups or designated dump stations to properly dispose of both grey and black waste water.
Electricity hookups
It’s common for campsites for campervans to have electricity hookups to the grid, allowing owners to power their electrical appliances and charge batteries. Access to electricity at these campsites often comes at an additional fee, but is sometimes included in the cost of the pitch.
Clean and well-maintained amenities
Not all campervans come with toilets and showers, so it’s important that you have easy access to shared facilities which are clean and tidy.
Access to Wi-Fi
Particularly important for those with children to entertain or work to get done while on the road, some of the top campervan-friendly campsites offer reliable Wi-Fi access to keep you connected even in more remote spots!
Alternative dining options
While campervans can be very well-equipped for making meals on-the-go (the Landseer Ford Custom 2.0 boasts twin induction hobs and an underslung sink), having some alternative dining options nearby can be a welcome change.
