Caravan Adventuring is an independent UK website for caravan, motorhome and campervan owners. It publishes honest campsite reviews, practical touring guides and travel inspiration across the UK and Europe. Find out more about Caravan Adventuring.
Yes. Caravan Adventuring personally visits every campsite in its official reviews, and no site pays to be featured. There are no paid placements, so the scores and comments are honest, good or bad.
No. Motorhome and campervan owners are just as welcome. After all, pitches, hook-ups, facilities and site etiquette are much the same, whatever you tour in. If you’re just starting out, try the New to Caravanning page.
Yes. Reviews flag which sites truly welcome dogs, and which ones just say they do. For a shortlist, see the best dog-friendly caravan sites.
Yes. As well as UK campsites, there are reviews and guides for touring in Europe. The European Touring guides cover ferries, tolls, documents and driving abroad.
The Caravan Adventuring Index lists every blog and campsite review in one place. Alternatively, the Interactive Campsite Map shows each reviewed site with its score out of 50.
Every towing guide here is checked by a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) from Herts Driver Training. The instructor is also fleet registered, so safety comes first in every recommendation. Start with the Caravan Towing Guide.
Each Community Review scores five areas out of 10: location, facilities, cleanliness, pitch quality and value for money. That gives a total out of 50, so you can compare sites fairly before you book.
Campsite sizes depend on the number of pitches. Small sites have fewer than 50 pitches, medium sites have 50 to 99, and large sites have 100 or more. There is also a separate category for CL and CS sites. See Best Caravan Sites UK for the top picks in each.
