Holidays – Your Guide to Motorhome Adventures and Camping in the UK
Welcome to the Holidays hub. Here you’ll find quick advice on everything from motorhome road trips to wild‑camping tricks. We keep the tone friendly and the tips practical, so you can start planning your next break without digging through endless pages.
Why Motorhome Holidays Are Perfect for You
Driving a motorhome means you set the schedule. No need to book hotels far in advance – you can pull over at a campsite, a scenic lay‑by or a legal boondocking spot and start relaxing. The flexibility saves money because you only pay for the places you actually use. It also gives you the chance to explore hidden gems in Nottinghamshire and beyond, like the rolling hills around Sherwood Forest or the lakes near the Peak District.
Many of our readers love the freedom to bring pets, kids, or even a baby on board. You’re not limited by room size or restaurant hours; the kitchen, bathroom and bed travel with you. This makes family holidays feel less stressful – you pack what you need, stay in one place for a night, and move on when you’re ready.
Top Tips for a Smooth Camping Experience
1. Plan your power needs. A portable power station can keep lights, phones and small appliances running. Check the battery capacity and match it to the devices you’ll use. Our guide on portable power stations breaks down the maths so you don’t run out of juice mid‑trip.
2. Know the rules. Walking around inside a moving motorhome or using the toilet while driving can attract fines. A quick read of the UK motorhome laws saves you headaches and keeps everyone safe.
3. Pick the right campsite. Look for sites that match the 33/38 rule – this tells you whether the electric hookup will fit your motorhome. If you prefer a wilder feel, check the legal status of wild‑camping in the area. Some forests allow it, others have strict bans.
4. Pack for the weather. If you’re camping with a baby, watch the temperature. A simple thermometer and a good-quality sleeping bag can keep the little one comfortable even when the night gets chilly.
5. Stay tidy. The golden rule of camping is to leave no trace. Pack out all rubbish, use designated fire pits, and store food securely to avoid attracting wildlife.
Our post on the 2‑2‑2 rule offers a quick checklist for campsite setup, meal planning and sleep arrangements – all in just a few minutes.
Whether you’re after a cheap state‑to‑buy motorhome, the lifespan of a RV, or the cost of glamping, the Holiday tag has a short article that answers the question. Jump into the one that matches your curiosity and start planning a trip that feels like a true getaway.
