Disclaimer: We received the campervan free for one night and all nights free with Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsites in exchange for our honest opinion. We paid for the remaining nights ourselves.

There are some trips you remember because of the places you visit.

Others stay with you because of the people you share them with.

Our four-night Norfolk and Suffolk campervan trip was definitely the latter.

In June, my daughter Lillie and I packed our bags, collected an Incline Campers VW T6 campervan and set off to explore the coastlines of Suffolk and Norfolk while staying at four different Caravan and Motorhome Club campsites.

On paper, it sounded like a simple adventure.

In reality, it became one of my favourite travel experiences in years.

A Norfolk and Suffolk Campervan Road Trip with My Daughter: Four Days of Freedom, Beaches and Memories

Key Takeaways

• Trip Duration: 4 nights
• Vehicle: Incline Campers VW T6 Automatic Campervan
• Travellers: Mum (Sabina) and daughter (Lillie, 18)
• Route: Great Yarmouth → Lowestoft → Norfolk Broads → Cromer
• Best Food: Fish and chips at Mary Jane’s, Cromer and cookie dough at Flour, Wells-next-the-Sea
• Favourite Site: White House Beach Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, Kessingland
• Most Memorable Moment: Watching the sunset from the back of the campervan while parked beside the beach at Kessingland
• Would We Do It Again? Absolutely.

At 18, Lillie is entering a new chapter of life. College is almost behind her, she’s becoming increasingly independent and, like all parents of older teenagers, I’m aware that opportunities for uninterrupted time together become fewer as they grow older.

This trip gave us something that everyday life rarely allows.

Time.

Time to talk.

Time to laugh.

Time to sing along to old songs in the campervan.

Time to make memories.

Of course, there were beautiful shorelines, colourful seaside towns, excellent coffee shops and some unforgettable food along the way. But when I look back at our Norfolk and Suffolk adventure, it isn’t necessarily the destinations I remember first.

It’s the conversations between them.

Why We Chose a Campervan Road Trip

I’ve always wanted to do a driving holiday, so when my Mum suggested it as a gift from her to Lillie and me for our big birthdays, we were blown away.

There’s something exciting about waking up somewhere different each morning and having the freedom to change plans depending on the weather, your mood or a recommendation from a local.

A campervan takes that flexibility to another level.

Instead of checking in and out of hotels or dragging luggage around, everything you need travels with you.

For this trip, my Mum paid for three nights, and Incline Campers provided us with one free night. I also partnered with the Caravan and Motorhome Club, giving us the opportunity to experience several different campsites across East Anglia while travelling in a fully equipped VW campervan.

Neither of us is a stranger to camping, but campervan travel offered something we hadn’t experienced before.

Comfort.

Convenience.

And a sense of freedom that traditional holidays often struggle to match.

As Lillie later said:

“One of the best things about travelling in a camper van was the freedom it gave us to explore different parts of Suffolk and Norfolk without having to return to the same campsite and cold tent every night. Wherever we stopped, we could simply park up, set up the bed, open the back doors, and relax while taking in the beautiful views.”

That perfectly summed up the trip.

Collecting Our Campervan from Incline Campers

Our adventure began at Incline Campers in Lincolnshire, where we collected our VW T6 automatic campervan.

First impressions were excellent.

The campervan felt modern, clean and surprisingly spacious.

Despite its compact footprint, everything had its place, from storage cupboards and cooking facilities to seating areas and sleeping arrangements.

Ryan took time to explain how everything worked, which immediately put us at ease.

For anyone considering their first campervan holiday, don’t be intimidated.

Most of the systems are straightforward once you’ve seen them demonstrated.

Within half an hour, we felt confident enough to hit the road.

That confidence was tested almost immediately.

A diversion on our journey towards Great Yarmouth meant we arrived later than planned, and by the time we reached our first Caravan and Motorhome Club site, darkness had already fallen.

Finding the key safe wasn’t difficult.

Trying to see the numbers in the dark and tackle the cover release button was another matter entirely.

Thankfully, after a few minutes of fumbling with phone torches and laughing at ourselves, we were safely checked in and ready for the first night of our adventure in the middle of the Great Yarmouth Racecourse – AND a rather impressive lightning and thunder storm.

Day One: Southwold

After waking up at Great Yarmouth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site and going for a walk to check out the racecourse and the site, we packed the van up, ready to set off and begin exploring. As we drove towards the exit, we were tempted to stay as we saw horses being walked in ready for the day’s races, but we had an adventure awaiting us on the open road.

The weather wasn’t perfect.

The skies alternated between grey clouds and sunshine, while a brisk coastal wind reminded us that British summer can sometimes have its own agenda.

One of our first destinations was Southwold on the Suffolk coast.

Southwold has long been on my list of must-visit seaside towns, and it didn’t disappoint. Colourful beach huts lined the promenade, the lighthouse tucked in amongst the houses, families strolled along the seafront, and the famous Southwold Pier stretched confidently out into the North Sea.

We spent hours simply wandering. 

Browsing independent shops.

Stopping for coffee.

Watching the waves roll onto the shingle beach.

One unexpected highlight was the photo booth on Southwold Pier – it was hilarious! We laughed so hard and have the photos to remind us.

Sometimes it’s the simplest moments that become the most memorable, and squeezing into a tiny booth together produced exactly the kind of silly photographs that make a holiday special.

As much as I love discovering new places, Southwold reminded me why some destinations are worth returning to again and again.

They feel familiar while still offering something new every visit.

Next, it was time to hit the road and head to our next site, White House Beach in Kessingland. We initially parked in the main camping site, which was green, spacious and very sunny. Having had a quick chat with the lovely lady in the office, we discovered there was a second site available, the Beach Site on the other side of the road, which looked out to sea. We popped across the road to take a look, and we were sold. A sea view for the evening was exactly what we were looking for.

White House Beach, Lowestoft and a Sunset We’ll Never Forget

That evening, we walked along the shoreline into Kessingland to enjoy a fish and chip tea at the Beach Fish & Chip Shop. Lillie loves a kid’s fishcake, but she is very specific about which ones she likes. To her delight, they had exactly what she was looking for, and it was every bit as good as she was hoping for, so much so, she ordered a second helping!

Back at the van we enjoyed sitting in the van with blanket over our legs, the back doors open to watch the sea view, a film and a glass of wine as the sun set on our second evening in the van. Without doubt, this was my favourite moment of the whole trip. It felt so peaceful and so nice to just be with Lillie in that moment. 

Why White House Beach Stood Out

Every Caravan and Motorhome Club site we stayed at had its own character, but White House Beach offered something unique.

The combination of coastal location, easy beach access and peaceful atmosphere made it feel like a genuine escape.

If you’re planning a campervan holiday around Suffolk, I’d highly recommend including this site in your itinerary.

It’s particularly ideal if you enjoy:

• Coastal walks
• Relaxed seaside surroundings
• Photography
• Exploring the Suffolk coast at a slower pace

For us, it provided exactly what we needed.

A chance to switch off.

A chance to breathe.

And a chance to appreciate how lucky we were to be sharing this adventure together.

As Lillie later reflected:

“My favourite part of the road trip was being able to spend so much quality time with my Mum. We spent hours talking, laughing and making memories together in our little home on wheels.”

Looking back, I couldn’t have summed it up better myself.

An Honest Note About Sleeping Comfort

One aspect of campervan life that surprised us was the sleeping arrangements.

The VW campervan was brilliantly designed and incredibly practical during the day, but neither of us found the beds especially comfortable.

Despite the mattress toppers provided, we both felt the sleeping surface was firmer than we were used to at home or when camping.

Interestingly, when chatting with other campervan and motorhome owners during our trip, many said exactly the same thing.

Several seasoned travellers told us they had simply become accustomed to it over time, while others recommended sleeping on folded duvets for additional cushioning.

We found that layering blankets and sleeping bags beneath us slightly improved comfort.

Would it stop us from travelling by campervan again?

Not at all.

But it’s worth knowing if you’re planning your first campervan holiday. Packing an extra blanket or mattress topper could make a significant difference to your sleep quality.

Fortunately, beautiful coastal views and plenty of fresh sea air helped make up for a few restless nights.

As we drifted off to sleep with the sound of the sea in the background, we were already looking forward to what the next day would bring.

Ahead lay Norwich, the Norfolk Broads and a completely different side of East Anglia waiting to be explored.

Day Three: Norwich, Wroxham and Discovering a Different Side of Norfolk

After two days spent exploring the Suffolk coast, day three took us inland to experience a completely different side of our Norfolk and Suffolk campervan road tour.

One of the things I quickly learned during our adventure was just how varied East Anglia can be.

One day, you’re standing on a windswept beach watching waves crash against the shore.

The next, you’re wandering through a historic city centre or watching boats drift peacefully along a broad.

That variety is one of the reasons this route works so well as a campervan itinerary.

A Stress-Free Visit to Norwich

Rather than attempting to navigate city-centre traffic and expensive parking, we decided to leave the campervan at Postwick Park & Ride and catch the bus into Norwich. It cost us just £4.00 for a two-together ticket, which included our parking fee and bus fare.

It’s a simple tip, but one I’d highly recommend to anyone travelling by campervan or motorhome.

Driving a larger vehicle through unfamiliar city streets can quickly become stressful, whereas the park and ride allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about finding a suitable car park.

Within minutes, we were in the heart of Norwich.

The city immediately felt vibrant and welcoming.

Independent shops sat alongside well-known high street brands, while historic buildings and modern cafés created an interesting mix of old and new.

The weather remained unpredictable, with occasional showers passing through, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves.

In fact, the rain probably encouraged us to do what we seem to do best on any trip together—seek out coffee shops and browse the shops.

Not every travel day needs a packed itinerary.

Sometimes, simply wandering through a city, discovering hidden corners and enjoying each other’s company is enough.

Norwich felt like exactly that kind of place.

Heading Towards the Norfolk Broads

In the evening, we left the city behind and made our way towards Wroxham and the Norfolk Broads.

The landscape changed noticeably as we travelled.

The busy streets gave way to quieter roads, open countryside and wide skies.

The Norfolk Broads are unlike anywhere else in the UK.

This unique network of rivers and broads creates a landscape that feels peaceful and almost timeless.

Although many visitors choose to explore by boat, simply spending time around the water was enough to appreciate why the area is so popular.

As we wandered through Wroxham, we watched boats gliding across the broad, a man hand-feeding pigeons and holidaymakers relaxing on the waterfront.

The atmosphere felt calm and unhurried.

After the busier seaside towns we’d visited earlier in the trip, it was a refreshing change of pace.

The contrast between the Suffolk coast, the Norfolk coast and the inland waterways helped us appreciate just how much variety the region offers.

Norfolk Broads Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

That evening, we arrived at Norfolk Broads Caravan and Motorhome Club Site just outside of Wroxham.

One thing we noticed throughout the trip was how consistently well-maintained the Caravan and Motorhome Club campsites were.

Whether we were staying near the seaside or inland, facilities were clean, pitches were spacious, and the campsites felt welcoming. We also discovered that our neighbours from White House Beach had moved to Wroxham too and were indeed our neighbours once again! 

After several days of moving between locations, we’d begun to develop a comfortable rhythm.

Arrive.

Park up.

Put the kettle on.

Decide what to have for dinner.

Then settle in for the evening.

One of the joys of campervan travel is how quickly even a small space starts to feel like home.

The campervan wasn’t just transport anymore.

It had become our little travelling base.

A place to eat, relax, watch films and escape the unpredictable British weather.

The Joy of the Journey

By this point in the trip, I realised something that surprised me.

Some of my favourite moments weren’t actually happening at the destinations.

They were happening in between.

The drives from one location to the next became part of the adventure.

Music is playing through the speakers.

Windows framing the endless Norfolk countryside.

Random conversations that started with one topic and somehow ended somewhere completely different.

As parents, we often spend years ferrying our children from one activity to another.

Football training.

School runs.

Clubs.

Appointments.

Life becomes busy.

This trip gave us the opportunity to simply be together without rushing anywhere.

Looking back, those journeys between campsites are among my strongest memories of the entire holiday.

The laughter.

The singing.

The stories.

The freedom of the open road.

Looking Ahead to the North Norfolk Coast

As darkness settled over the campsite that evening, we realised our adventure was already entering its final stages.

The next day would take us towards some of the most famous destinations on the Norfolk coast.

Cromer.

Sheringham.

Wells-next-the-Sea.

Places I’d visited many times before, yet I was excited to experience them again through my daughter’s eyes.

And although we didn’t know it at the time, our final full day would deliver some of the most memorable moments of the entire trip.

Day Four: Cromer, Sheringham and Wells-next-the-Sea

Our final full day on the road arrived far too quickly.

After three nights of moving between campsites, exploring new places and settling into the rhythm of campervan life, it was hard to believe our Norfolk and Suffolk adventure was almost over.

We had saved some of the Norfolk coast’s most-loved destinations until last, and despite the ever-present coastal wind, the weather finally seemed to be on our side.

The sun made regular appearances, the skies felt brighter, and there was a real sense that summer had finally arrived.

Cromer: Fish and Chips, Family Time and Seaside Charm

There is something timeless about Cromer.

It has all the ingredients of a traditional British seaside town but somehow manages to retain its authenticity.

The Victorian buildings, independent shops, beach, pier and famous crab heritage all combine to create a destination that feels genuinely welcoming rather than overly commercialised.

We spent several hours wandering through the town, browsing shops and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Although the wind was still strong, it somehow felt part of the charm. After all, it wouldn’t really be the Norfolk coast without a sea breeze.

A Perfect Afternoon at The Wellington

One of my personal highlights of the entire trip happened in the beer garden at The Wellington.

Looking back, it’s funny how often the most meaningful travel memories aren’t necessarily linked to famous attractions.

There was nothing particularly remarkable about what we were doing.

We found a table outside.

Ordered drinks.

And spent hours talking. 

At 18, Lillie is naturally becoming more independent.

She has her own friendships, her own plans and her own ambitions.

As a parent, you know these changes are healthy and necessary, but moments like this become increasingly precious because you know they won’t happen as often in the future.

Sitting in that beer garden, watching the world go by, I found myself feeling incredibly grateful. Not because we were somewhere extraordinary. But because we had the time to simply enjoy each other’s company.

Lillie and I chatted about life, college, future plans and memories from the trip. We made silly videos, laughed far more than we probably should have and simply enjoyed being together. Right up until the moment Lillie knocked her drink all over me and drenched my jeans. This is where the campervan came into its own, because I could simply pop back to change, then continue with my day.

The Best Fish and Chips on the Norfolk Coast?

No visit to Cromer would be complete without fish and chips.

And for us, there was only one place to go.

Mary Jane’s.

We’ve visited before and it remains our favourite fish and chip restaurant in Cromer.

The fish was perfectly cooked, the batter beautifully crisp and the portions generous without being overwhelming.

After several days of walking, exploring and breathing in fresh sea air, it tasted even better.

Sometimes holiday food creates memories all of its own, and this meal was definitely one of the culinary highlights of our trip.

Settling In at Incleboro Fields

Our final campsite was the Incleboro Fields Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, located between Cromer and Sheringham. This site was already familiar to us since we have regularly camped at the West Runton Camping and Caravanning Club Site next door. 

We have walked through Incleboro Fields many times on our way to the beach, but we had no idea just how big the site actually is! We were met by the super-friendly reception team, who showed me the map and gave me an idea of where to look for the best pitches. Imagine my surprise when she turned the site map over to reveal a second, larger side to the site! 

We chose to camp on the site we were already familiar with – it had a peaceful, woodland feel that made it easy to relax. The second site is more geared towards families, with a large play area and a fenced-off football pitch that my boys would have loved.

Incleboro Fields (and West Runton campsite) hide a little gem that we discovered many years ago, and all have fond memories of: Incleboro Hill, which is part of the National Trust. If you walk up Incleboro Hill via a path near the Reception or at the top of the hill between the two campsites, you will come out onto a hilltop which overlooks the surrounding land and provides the most beautiful views of the sunset over the sea. 

We found a bench and snuggled up as we watched the sunset. It felt like time stopped.

One thing we quickly appreciated throughout our trip was how different each campsite felt, despite all being part of the Caravan and Motorhome Club network.

Each location offered its own character and personality, making every stop feel like a completely new experience.

Sheringham and the Harley-Davidson Ride-In

Our final day had arrived but we still had lots to fit in. We began with a visit to Sheringham which was so quaint. We parked next to the Steam Railway Station and marvelled at the number of people photographing and boarded the steam trains as they came and went. 

We meandered in the shops and had a walk to check out the beach for a future visit.

By pure luck, our visit coincided with the Harley-Davidson Ride-In.

The atmosphere was incredible.

A stream of motorcycles filled the streets while visitors lined the roads watching the procession arrive.

The sound alone was unforgettable.

The rumble of engines echoed through the town long before the bikes themselves came into view.

Even if you’re not a motorcycle enthusiast, it was impossible not to appreciate the spectacle.

Watching the riders arrive created a real sense of excitement and community, adding an unexpected highlight to our final day.

Sheringham itself was bustling with visitors enjoying the sunshine, and we spent time wandering through the town before continuing our journey along the coast.

A Scenic Drive Along the North Norfolk Coast

One of the advantages of travelling by campervan is that the journey itself becomes part of the experience.

As we drove between destinations, we were treated to some beautiful views of the North Norfolk coastline – who knew there were so many pig farmers in Norfolk?

We passed through picturesque villages, admired rolling countryside and enjoyed the freedom of being able to stop whenever something caught our attention.

Driving through the coastal village of Blakeney was a particular reminder of how charming this stretch of coastline can be. I also remembered this is where you can head out on the boats to see the seals.

Although we didn’t stop, the village looked beautiful in the afternoon sunshine and gave us another reason to return to Norfolk in the future.

Wells-next-the-Sea: The Perfect Final Stop

If Cromer gave us traditional seaside charm, Wells-next-the-Sea provided the perfect ending to our adventure.

Few places capture the character of the Norfolk coast quite like Wells, and it’s one we have visited time and again.

Colourful beach huts lined the edge of the vast sandy beach, while families wandered through the town enjoying ice creams, fish and chips and the relaxed holiday atmosphere.

The combination of historic buildings, independent shops and coastal scenery makes Wells-next-the-Sea one of those places that’s easy to fall in love with.

Although the wind continued to whip across the sand, the sunshine encouraged everyone outdoors.

We spent time exploring the town, browsing shops and enjoying our final afternoon together before heading back towards the campsite.

An Unexpected Dessert Discovery

One of our biggest food discoveries came at Flour.

If you’re visiting Wells-next-the-Sea and have a sweet tooth, put this firmly on your list.

Their cookie dough and ice cream was absolutely incredible.

Warm, indulgent and exactly the kind of treat you justify after several days of holiday walking.

It quickly became our favourite dessert of the trip and remains one of the first things we talk about when reminiscing about our Norfolk and Suffolk adventure.

Reflecting on the Journey

All too soon, the time had come to head home and say goodbye to our campervan. The reality that our road trip had come to an end felt surprisingly emotional.

What had started as a simple travel collaboration had become something much more meaningful.

We had explored beautiful parts of Norfolk and Suffolk.

We had discovered new favourite places.

We had enjoyed fantastic food.

But most importantly, we had spent uninterrupted time together.

When I asked Lillie what she would remember most, her answer wasn’t a particular town, beach or attraction.

It was the time we spent together.

And honestly, that was my answer too.

The destinations gave us somewhere to go.

The campervan gave us the freedom to explore.

But the memories we created along the way are what will stay with us long after the journey ended.

What We Loved About Travelling in a Campervan

Before this trip, I thought the biggest advantage of travelling by campervan would be convenience.

While that was certainly true, what surprised me most was the sense of freedom it created.

Every morning, we woke up somewhere different.

Every day felt like a new adventure.

If the weather changed, we could adapt our plans. If we discovered somewhere we loved, we could stay longer. If we fancied stopping for coffee with a sea view, we simply could.

The campervan quickly became more than just a vehicle.

It became our kitchen, living room, cinema and bedroom.

It became our little home on wheels.

One of my favourite things was how easy it was to finish a day of exploring and simply relax. Instead of travelling back to a hotel or returning to the same location every evening, we were already exactly where we wanted to be.

For families considering a campervan holiday, that flexibility is perhaps its greatest strength.

Our Favourite Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsites

Each of the Caravan and Motorhome Club campsites offered something different.

1. White House Beach Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

This was our overall favourite because we loved the access to the beach.

Its coastal location, direct access to the beach and peaceful atmosphere made it feel incredibly special.

Watching the sunset from the rear doors of the campervan remains one of my favourite travel memories.

2. Incleboro Fields Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Set between Cromer and Sheringham, this site provided the perfect base for exploring the North Norfolk coast and, of course, our beloved sunsets on Incleboro Hill.

The woodland surroundings gave it a completely different feel from the coastal campsites we visited earlier in the trip.

3. Norfolk Broads Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

Ideal for exploring Wroxham, the Norfolk Broads and Norwich.

It offered a quieter, more inland experience while still providing easy access to some of Norfolk’s most popular attractions.

4. Great Yarmouth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site

A great starting point for our adventure and conveniently located for exploring both Great Yarmouth and the Suffolk coast. We both commented that we would love to be there on race day as we are sure the atmosphere would be electric.

Travelling with an 18-Year-Old Daughter

When people think about family holidays, they often picture younger children.

But travelling with older teenagers can be incredibly rewarding.

In many ways, this trip felt different to any family holiday we’ve taken before.

Lillie wasn’t simply coming along for the ride.

She was helping plan the route, suggesting places to visit and sharing the driving-day playlists and was the main person to set up and pack up the campervan – she handled it like a pro.

The conversations we had throughout the trip were probably the most valuable part of the experience.

There were no school runs.

No deadlines.

No distractions.

Just hours of uninterrupted time together.

As parents, we’re often told to treasure the early years because they pass quickly.

What nobody tells you is how precious these later years can be, too.

Watching your child become an adult while still enjoying moments of genuine connection is something incredibly special.

For me, that was the real gift of this road trip.

What We’d Do Differently Next Time

No trip is perfect, and being honest about that is important.

If we planned another campervan adventure, there are a few things we’d change.

Bring Extra Bedding

Although the campervan was comfortable overall, we both found the bed firmer than expected.

An additional mattress topper or extra duvet would definitely improve sleeping comfort.

Allow Longer in Some Locations

Places such as Southwold and Wells-next-the-Sea deserved more time.

When you’re enjoying somewhere, a few extra hours can make all the difference.

Plan for British Weather

Even in June, the coastal wind was surprisingly strong.

Layers, waterproofs and comfortable footwear proved essential.

Fortunately, campervan travel makes it easy to adapt when the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Practical Tips for Planning a Norfolk and Suffolk Campervan Road Trip

If you’re considering a similar itinerary, here are a few tips based on our experience:

• Book popular campsites well in advance, especially during school holidays.
• Use Park and Ride services when visiting cities such as Norwich.
• Pack layers regardless of the season.
• Allow flexibility in your schedule.
• Bring outdoor chairs and blankets for evenings outside the campervan.
• Download offline maps in case of poor signal.
• Don’t try to do too much in one day.
• Make time for spontaneous stops.

Some of our favourite moments weren’t planned at all.

Is a Norfolk and Suffolk Campervan Road Trip Worth It?

Absolutely.

Norfolk and Suffolk offer the perfect combination of beautiful coastline, traditional seaside towns, countryside, historic cities and welcoming campsites.

Within just four days, we experienced:

• Southwold Pier
• The Suffolk coast
• Great Yarmouth
• Norwich city centre
• The Norfolk Broads
• Cromer
• Sheringham
• Wells-next-the-Sea
• Stunning beaches
• Excellent food
• Beautiful coastal scenery

And we never once felt rushed.

Travelling by campervan allowed us to experience East Anglia at our own pace, creating an adventure that felt both exciting and relaxing.

Whether you’re planning a couple’s getaway, a family holiday or a mother-daughter adventure like ours, this part of the UK is ideally suited to campervan travel.

Final Thoughts

When I look back on our Norfolk and Suffolk campervan road trip, I don’t immediately think about the destinations.

I think about the moments in between.

Singing together as we drove along winding coastal roads.

Watching the sunset from the back of the campervan at Kessingland.

Laughing over cookie dough in Wells-next-the-Sea.

Spending an afternoon in the beer garden at The Wellington in Cromer.

Watching films together while the wind rattled gently outside.

The beaches, seaside towns and beautiful scenery gave us the backdrop.

The campervan gave us the freedom.

But the memories we made together are what made the trip unforgettable.

As Lillie prepares for the next stage of her life, I’m incredibly grateful we had this opportunity to press pause for a few days and simply enjoy each other’s company.

Four nights.

One VW campervan.

A handful of campsites.

And memories that will last far longer than the journey itself.

New to Campervanning or Caravanning? Join the Conversation

If you’re new to the world of campervans or caravans, it’s perfectly normal to have questions. Whether you’re wondering what to pack, how to reverse onto a pitch, which campsites are best for families, or simply looking for inspiration for your next adventure, it helps to learn from people with first-hand experience.

One of the best resources I’ve come across is Club Together, the Caravan and Motorhome Club’s online community. It’s a friendly place where members share travel ideas, campsite recommendations, practical advice and tips based on their own touring experiences. There are dedicated sections covering everything from UK touring and overseas adventures to motorhome and caravan ownership, making it a great place to ask questions or browse discussions before setting off on your next trip.

If you’re looking for reassurance, inspiration or answers from fellow campers, it’s well worth taking a look.
