As an organisation we set out to support primarily ‘bring your own’ tent camping but quickly realised there was a demand for campervan and hammock-suitable wilder locations. In more recent years we have been approached by a lot more hybrid types of camping setups. Traditional campsites can be a bit snobbish and refuse these as they don’t fit a standard category.
One of the main reasons we don’t support motorhomes or caravans in general is that quite a few of the wilder locations have access issues – narrow lanes, sharp bends, soft undulating land, low hanging trees etc. So what we suggest is that the number of locations suitable for hybrid setups will be limited to what the landowner sees as suitable for their location – just ask when booking. If the directory listing states that you have to park 100m away from the camping area and wheelbarrow your kit to your pitch then that location is probably not a suitable location.
On the other hand if a location accepts campervans they are much more likely to accept a micro-caravan, trailer pod or similar – just confirm when booking. Amongst the setups some of our members have include roof tents, motorbikes, trailer tents, larger campervans and car campers.
