I took the plunge and booked an overnight (18th-19th October) stay in my lovely, newly acquired 1993 T4 at the Caravan and Motorhome Club site at Clumber Park not far off the A1 - a good halfway point between my home and that of my parents in North Yorkshire… It was a terrific choice for my first-ever campervan experience. The camp is very secure (I’m a lone female traveller most of the time so this is an important confidence booster) and set in gorgeous parkland near a National Trust property. The staff were SO helpful - assisting me with a series of ‘first-evers’: electric hook up, forgetting matches to light my cooker-rings (rookie error, I know!). I’m afraid I forgot to ask their names but I will be ever grateful! Recently refurbished, the loos and shower-block facilities are absolutely lovely and although I didn’t use it, there’s a laundry-room too. There’s a children’s play area but I resisted the temptation to try the swings… next time maybe! I had a cosy first night after a pre-dinner walk in the parkland and felt very welcomed, secure and comfortable. I will certainly be visiting the Clumber Park site again but will try next time to make sure my stay coincides with one of the weekly visits of the fish and chip or pizza van! Next time, I’ll try and remember to take some photographs. Thankyou to the staff for helping me kick off my campervan adventures so brilliantly! I heartily recommend the site to the Club Community.
