Just got back from Sandringham, Norfolk this afternoon. That's it for us now until the schools go back in September, but nothing in particular planned. But then we wouldn't until the end of August anyway. We never book much in advance.
May have the odd day out by train mid-week during August, but staying off the roads at weekends.
Been away couple of times so far this year, but neither in caravan (one almost counts, I was camping in a tent!), got another trip in Sept, again not in caravan, but caravan trip booked for Oct/Nov.
Not quite my master plan when I bought the caravan, but it's been a funny year and planning has gone to pot too often in this rapidly passing year! Hopefully find time to get a Adult Only site caravan trip or two in before Oct so I can avoid the holidaying little Cherubs!

We've been away twice this year so far, and only once with the caravan. Very handy having relatives who live in Cornwall and a free train pass.
We always try to avoid the little cherubs too these days as sites tend to be much noisier and prices go through the roof during school holidays. We have been through the stage of holidaying with kids, and have reached the stage now where even most of our grandchildren are grown up.
Hi all

We are retired so go when we like, not to club site, although we did stay 2 nights at Burford last year to visit OH's nephew. We always use CLs/CSs, and prefer adults only if possible. So far this year we have been to 2 sites in Cambridgshire, near Chipping Norton and by the canal near Daventry, a long trip to Scotland and a week in Warwickshire. Next trip to near Wantage, near Pewsey and near Witney. Wales after that hopefully.
Just back from our 4th trip this year. We have just visited lovely CS near Cambridge (will be writing a review shortly) Previously visited a CS near Chippenham, the club site at Hersham (we had tickets for the Andre Rieu concert and it was the best way to get there without the hassle of having to race across London for a last train home) Have also spent a few days at a CS near Salisbury.
Now planning the next trip, probably in August if we can find a suitable site.
Only 4 trips, 6 sites, 15 nights so far. Staying relatively close to home due to the cost of diesel. Our Covid & a family funeral stopped a couple of trips happening.
We like CSs and CLs but if we limited ourselves to those we wouldn’t have much choice hereabouts. And if we stuck to Adults Only we’d have even less choice. So we choose the best site (based on UKCS reviews) in the area we want to go to - Club or independent.

As now been retired over 20 years we have year all round to caravan so we have a 6 week break now and avoid the Silly Season.
Us too, just back from 6 weeks including 5 in France. Van cleaned and put in storage for a bit.

Only two trips for us so far owing to financial circumstances, but your second paragraph sums us up nicely too.
We won't be going anywhere now until the schools go back, but we hope to have a few days away then. We will also go to our C&CC DA work weekend to round off the season. That will be it then and we'll batten down the hatches until next year.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
