Where we stayed on our UK and Northern Europe Roadtrip 2018
We arrived in England 4 May 2018. On arrival we spent some time in Rochford, South-end-on sea area with my best friend. While here, we retrieved Betsy (who we bought in 2017 for our first roadtrip buying a motorhome or campervan in UK here), our Ford Transit Duetto campervan from where she spent the winter and then proceeded to tune her, buy new batteries and move back in.
We set off from Rochford 15 May 2018 and now provide a list of where stayed along our travels, with the exception of friends homes. We love wild camping and as our campervan is fully self contained this is not a problem.
How to find camp sites
While in UK SearchforSites is a must for all camping grounds, sites, wild camping – you name it a MUST have resource. They have an App, but the website is better.
