I have a Focus estate, been tempted to camp out in it. I have an airbed, lay the back seats down, Bobs me Uncle, Fannys me Aunt!My motor home from about 10 years ago. Slept in the back of that all over the place. A bit cramped, but a good view of Snowdon out of the back window. (And you get used to the smell ... )

In 1979 , when I first met hubby we could only afford a week in a Torquay hotel. So spent a week in Newquay and Weston Super Mare on the way back living in my Vauxhall Viva and a quick strip wash in public loos. Only got moved on once early one morning from a Newquay carpark by a traffic warden That would be my worst nightmare nowadays!My motor home from about 10 years ago. Slept in the back of that all over the place. A bit cramped, but a good view of Snowdon out of the back window. (And you get used to the smell ... )

That’s one place where you get plenty of camper vans. They didn’t seem to have formal sites, people just rocked-up and parked by the beach. That must feel very adventurous, helped, I’m sure, by the whisky!
Are you going next year?
Yes - we’ve got our accommodation booked and my husband is studying an itinerary of distillery visits. We’ll have to meet up at the Bruichladdich dayYes definitely! Are you?
Scotland have the right to roam so you often find campers abandon style at the beach!
Thanks @Carole I didn't even know that place existed ! (Shows how observant I am driving around the area. Looking for it on Streetview I hadn't even noticed the bus stop and shelter on the A34 by Common lane either as I've driven past millions of times. )That wasn’t us, but it might possibly have been going to the Caravan and Motorhome Park situated at Bednall Head.
If Dorset, I highly recommend Higher Moor Farm.So, having bought it and tried it out, we thought that we might go to Devon or Cornwall or Dorset or Norfolk or somewhere by the sea.
We realised that us buying our Motorhome coincided with everyone else buying one, everybody else wanting to vacation in this country.
And it’s August.
Totally bad timing.
Not made any easier because I have certain stipulations.

Yes I’ve tried it, but I can’t get on with it.Have you tried pitchup?
Yes I’ve tried it, but I can’t get on with it.
If I put in Norfolk, then Motorhome and the dates, it brings up for the first three, Hampshire, Cornwall and Nottingham.
Also, in the search I click on “fully serviced pitch” and it brings up grass non serviced pitches, so it’s not showing me what I’m looking for.
That may be beacuse there's very few with all the amenities you want unfortunately.
To search for sites in Norfolk, you need to type in the information with six fingers.To be fair, the site is better when I search for Devon or Cornwall.
For some reason it just didn’t like searching for Norfolk.
