When planning a motorhome trip, it’s important to know that different campsites have varying rules about the size of motorhomes they can accommodate. While most campsites can accommodate most vehicles, it’s always best to inform the campsite of the length of your motorhome when booking your pitch.
This will ensure that the campsite can allocate the appropriate style of pitch and ensure that your stay is comfortable and stress-free. So, before you hit the road, do a little research and find out the rules of the campsites you plan to visit to avoid any surprises when you arrive.
One of the easiest ways to find a suitable campsite is to use Google Maps. Simply type in the location you want to visit, followed by the word “camping” and you’ll be presented with a list of results that are relevant to your search. This is a great way to find a campsite that is close to a specific attraction or landmark you want to visit, such as “Corfe Castle camping.” By using this method, you can easily compare different campsites based on their distance to your destination and other relevant factors.
Campsite Directories
Pitchup is a website that allows you to search for campsites in the UK based on your location, pitch type, and travel dates. They have a directory of over 2,000 campsites for you to choose from, and you can easily compare them and book through their website or be redirected to the campsite’s own site.
You can also use the Search for Sites database to find not only campsites but also stopover places for motorhomes. These stopovers are usually pub car parks or other private lands that the owners open up for motorhomes to stay temporarily. By spending a few pounds on a drink and dinner in the pub, you can stay overnight for free. If you’re feeling stuck, don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions as there are lots of other directories out there to explore.

When you rent a motorhome from us, we provide you with a membership to ACSI, which is a useful resource for those travelling to Europe. Through their partner website, EuroCampings, you can search for campsites based on specific facilities or amenities that you’re looking for.
The Camping and Caravanning Club Hire Scheme is another benefit that we offer to our customers, providing access to their online directory of campsites and the ability to make bookings over the phone.
The Camping and Caravanning Club is a popular organization in the UK that provides motorhome users with access to over 100 Club sites across the country. As a member of the Club’s Hire Scheme, you’ll be able to visit any Club site at a reduced membership fee, including the sixteen “Camping in the Forest” sites spread across six forests.
