Hi
Found your great site a couple of weeks ago whilst looking for camping sites in the Lake District. Planned to take a tent up there and stay for 9 or 10 days. Last minute change of plan after deciding it was going to be rather wet and cold. We hired a camper van from 'Room with a View' a VW Trident.
Did 1200 miles in 9 days around the lakes and Scotland up as far Loch Ness and Kyle of Lochalsh before returning to the lakes. Did stay on a clean and tidy site at Loch Ness (Loch Ness Caravan Park) right at the side of the water. But the rest of the time it was wild camping. Driving mostly at night so camping between 11pm - 1am and away from the camp by 8am. Never saw a soul, except locals at Ennerdale. Weather was pretty good most of the time so it was a great experience.
Now what camper van?
Two berth, small enough to get 'off the beaten track. To be used daily. Economical (not a Land Rover) and reliable.
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thank you
John Nowell
