Got a few trips planned for this year
Start of June off to Ireland for a long weekend on the bike
Next weekend one nighter in the lakes after the Dave Myers memorial ride
Long weekend at a steam rally/classic car show
Camper Jam at the start of July
120 years of Rover / 100 years of MG weekend event
Hopefully there will be a couple more too.

Quiet year for us as we are hoping to be moving house at the end of the month so haven't booked in much at all.
We did our Jan - March in Spain and are now on only ours second trip of the year currently at Mayfield Park in Cirencester for 10 nights visiting friends and family. The only other trip we have planned (house move notwithstanding) is 2 weeks in Marazion and Charmouth from the middle of June.
If the house move goes OK we'll try and get over to Normandy and Brittany in September.

For the start of August, I've booked the glamping option for 4 nights at Croft campsite

Quite looking forward to this as I won't have to pack up the tent etc..!
Then 4 nights over the August BH weekend at Ecclesden Farm.

Just got back from a 1800 mile trip in our T6 camper van. We live near Southampton but the route went: Southampton, Buxton, Hornsea, Coldstream, Blair Drummond, Cobleland (South of Aviemore), Invernahaven (centre of Scotland), Skye, Oban, Milnthorpe, Whitchurch. We did the NC 500 a couple years ago and wild camped for a lot of it but this time did a mix of wild camping and paid for campsites. This trip was to fill in some of the gaps we missed on our first trip.
Campsites we stayed at and would recommend:
Near Buxton: Farditch Farm, Chelmorton
Hornsea: White Cottage Holiday Park, Hornsea
Coldstream: Coldstream Holiday Park
Blair Drummond: Blair Drummond Caravan Park
Cobleland: Cobleland Campsite
Invernahaven: Invernahaven Caravan Park
Skye: Glenbrittle Campsite
Oban: Highfield Holidays
Milnthorpe: Little Acre Holiday Park
Whitchurch: Grindley Brook Wharf
For wild camping we use park4night mostly...
Happy to answer any questions about the sites we used - prices, facilities what we thought of them etc.
Happy camping!!

Is that Highlands End? We were there in one of their glamping pods over the weekend.Spent the bank holiday at Blackland Lakes nr Calne in Wiltshire. Lovely friendly site, popular with anglers (two lakes) although we don’t indulge, good for young kids, handy for Caen Hill Locks, Avebury Stone Circle, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, all nearby.
It’s an hour’s drive from home which is just great for a quick (in shed-dragging terms) getaway.

Thanks for the insights here guys & gals.
I particularly liked the Coco Offgrid site, which has made think about organising a couple of days away with my eldest two. Also signed up to the Off Grid site but I'm limited by ground clearance in the BoxDrive even if I have the 4x4 drivetrain and M+S tyres.
Keep them coming!
