Making the journey
Many of these campsites also allow campervans and motorhomes on-site, meaning if you want to cut costs while turning the journey into an adventure, you’re welcome to do so. Just remember to make sure you’ve got the right motorhome insurance before you set off, and complete a thorough check of your vehicle's fluid levels, tyre tread and air pressure.
