I Have Found my Forever Campervan Bed!

When it comes to my campervan life, I have three top priorities – comfortable bed, comfortable bed, comfortable bed. I realise that this is not the same for everyone and, for you, it might be things like headroom, indoor loo, three-way fridge, or solar energy. I want these too but I find that I cannot really enjoy my camping if I can’t get a good night’s sleep and for me, that means an exquisitely comfortable bed. Fortunately, I have found one…

The New Tipoon Trailer – How Can You Not Want One!

Not a campervan but soooo want one of these – a foldout, grown-up’s Wendy house. Not only is it a really clever use of space design (the bed is king size, what’s not to like!) it is as cute as hell. Could camping be any more fun!
Starts at around £20,000 so won’t be happening any time soon but maybe one day…sigh

This festival happens every year in September and is a bit like the Edinburgh Fringe Festival except that, instead of the town being covered in comedy, it is covered in FOOD! We ate LOTS of good food and bought foodie items from some great local producers but there was a strange incident that still remains a mystery…

How to Get your Coffee–Fix When You Are Camping

I don’t know about you, but Glyn and I are coffee geeks and are pretty fussy about the coffee we drink. We were treated to proper morning coffee on-site when we recently stayed at The Tavistock Camping & Caravan Club site – our favourite campsite on Dartmoor in Devon. Kate, from Peace and Coffee, brings her cute coffee wagon on site most mornings and makes a great cup of coffee. But how can you make real coffee in your own campervan at any time of the day? I decided to find out what sort of coffee kit is out there for us campers…
