Campervan

The campervan is one's escape to the Gipsies' way of life, the time of a holiday, when you turn your car into your house. This is one of the last recourse to bits of freedom that are left in the New World Order, where you can dispose of your time, of your best judgment and of your free will. We got one (Campercita) in the UK in period December (2019)—November (2023), but had to let it go when we ourselves left the country. We are longing to get another one once we settle for good somewhere!

For the UK

  • The Park4Night app is really handy to have on your phone so you can find sites while already on the move.
  • Searchforsites is the web-based alternative, set up in the UK and covering Western Europe. It doesn’t have quite as many sites but it does have good functionality and is good for advance planning.
  • https://www.quirkycampers.co.uk/campervan-campsites/ for more tips.
