Summer is approaching and there’s nothing better than taking to the great outdoors to enjoy the sunshine amongst lovely company. As providers of motorhome and caravan insurance we get this.
That’s why we created our UK Campsite Finder and that’s also why we teamed up with Park Holidays UK for our #CampingMemories competition – giving you the chance to win a super camping holiday.
Now 150 funny camping stories later we thought it only right to share them with you. Here are some of our favourite entries:
Come Rain or Shine
As you’re probably aware the UK isn’t known for its sunny weather but you’re always hopeful. Putting up tents whatever the weather and hoping for the best.

Camping Overseas
It’s not just in the UK you like to camp but overseas too. From France to the USA you love to travel.

Time with Family & Friends
Sometimes it doesn’t matter where you are it’s who you’re with that makes all the difference.

The Animals
From the people to the animals – you’re at one with nature yet it’s still a shock when you come face to face with a sheep, cow or bear!
