Hi,im curious how many people still go out in their caravan in the winter months.
Where do you go?
Is their entertainment for the evenings? or nice warm pub?
May aswell be at home if just watching tv in the van dark cold eveninngs!
love to here from your travels.

Loads of peeps camp in winter in their tin tents, as observed when I camped in my tent in Dec and Feb in the past.
C&CC has a list of their club sites that are opened all year round. Not sure if such a list exists for their CL sites, however, quite a few of them are working farms, therefore, I suspect some of them will be opened throughout the year too.
I tend to stay close to home when camping in winter, in case the weather turns foul. Also, it means I can pop back home to check up on the cat.
I prefer to cook when I go camping and seldom eat out. However, some sites that open throughout the year are within walking distances from pubs where there may be food and entertainment.
I do not look for sites with entertainment when I go camping, as I can usually find things to do to keep me and the dog amused.
I like camping in winter, as there will be less rowdiness, and hardly any bugs, and usually cheaper too except for C&CC as they consider Christmas and New Year as High Season! Hey ho, as my local site where I go for winter camping is a C&CC club site!
Try it and see.
I tried in Dec 09 and loved it, hence my next trip is in Dec 13 over Christmas.

We don't go over Christmas as I like to spend some time with my grandson. We do, however, take off on the day after boxing day for a few days. We used to go to a holiday camp when my daughter was young but now prefer a few days peace and quiet after the busy days (weeks!) leading up to Christmas. Our van is already on the pitch so we don't have to tow it - just put up a porch awning for wet shoes, coats etc.
We also live in Lancaster, on th ridge, and have a motor home. We use this all year round and often go with a load of like minded motorhomers, caravanners and tenters, and have some really great times.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
