Useful Guides for the Beginning Caravanner

Lurk
Look around the site and watch what others caravanner's do, to pick up tips, use the news group 'uk.rec.caravanning' and the web, as in life don't take anything as fact unless you've checked it independently elsewhere.

Join one of the clubs
The Caravan Club or the Camping and Caravanning Club, because their sites are cheaper if you do and they both maintain large lists of CL's and CS's (small sites for a limited number of vans, normally in the midst of the country, but often with minimum facilities) which are useful.

Plan ahead
Be prepared to book your sites well in advance in the summer, Caravanning is becoming very popular and we've found that we have been disappointed a few times even booking a month to six weeks ahead.
