i am 62 young, i bought myself a day van and am going to convert it into a campervan ,looking to go away as much as i can ,i love to travel and camp or caravan ,can anybody tell me of a single club where i can meet like minded people and share the memories of this beautiful country.i am not a seasonal man either i love to go away winter or summer there are some lovely areas in the winter plus there's not a load of kids and holiday mumbo jumbo around
Hi Dick,
Welcome to the forum.
I am sure you will find many like minded people on this site,and will also get recommendations for single person clubs.
Enjoy your van.
Regards,
Greg
There are a few singles groups . I can't remember the names . But I'm sure some one on here will
If you don't find one there are a lot of solo caravan or motorhome people that use the c&cc club . My sister stores her van at one and when we have been to Blackmore near Malverns there are always solo campers there . I think the c&cc club would be good to meet people or make friends . They are a safe and a friendly club to go to or even just try out . You don't have to join if you won't to just try them out first .
Good luck
i dont know much about the club ,im still a newby but as i get to know the site im sure i will blend in , already a couple of responses tells me that it is an active site ,upto now i have found a few groups covering this subject but no activity also after a few clicks i found i was in the middle of America not the UK and posts several years old ,so fingers crossed that i have landed on a winner
Dick, Welcome. Once you get out there and meet like minded people, you wont need special sort of groups. That first "good morning" once on site usually starts a conversation with other owners and friendships soon start from the common interest we all share. Have noticed in my experience that having a dog seems to get people talking to each other. We dont have a dog but found on the whole campers of all types are a friendly bunch, and like a chat. Plenty of Adult only sites around, which is what we go for when we can.
thanks all ,, i have had a look and takon in your feedbacks and am sure i will be able to sort something out , merry christmas all and roll on the Summer months
Welcome dick2 , I'm with geoffprinter on most of what he tells you , and as you say , this is a beautiful country , I always travel on my own nowadays , I have more spare time than my lady friend , plus I think as you get older you tend to know exactly the kind of places and activities that will suit yourself , I personally prefer to be on or close to the coastal regions , and my favourite coast in England is Somerset , round North Devon and some of Cornwall .
There is plenty of good helpfull and friendly advice on this forum ,
Good luck on your intended trips
im ready for the off now the vans ready ,i have had an addition the the party which may course a problem i have got a lovely little dog ,so its solo camping but with a dog i need
Joking aside, he is the reason why I decided to go camping as my main form of holidays after my late partner's death in 2008, and have not looked back since.
Prefer to camp on my own to do as I please with no set agenda.
Have a look at Meetup.com and see if there are any social groups that take your fancy.
Some that cater for outdoor activities may organise camping trips.
If nothing suits, start your own group and plan events to suit.
Good luck.

I do not recall the name of the singles camping group, however, I read that it will eject those who become attached so as to keep the group as singles-only.

The Phoenix club insists that you must have no partner, either live-in or otherwise.
I looked at joining one of the singles camping groups when I sadly lost my wife of 46 years to cancer last year, but after investigating a few I decided I'd just "do my own thing".
When I was at DelaMere Forest in 2016 there was a group all in vans, mixture of single and couples. They were moving on to another campsite and were on the road for about 3 or 4 weeks. Can't remember what they were called though but there are groups out there
