Hi all,
Just wondered if any other single people would like to get together and go camping as it can sometimes feel a liitle bit intimidatinbg to 'go it alone'.
Get back to me if you might fancy it.
Liss.

Hi, I've often wondered that and would be interested myself. I don't mind camping solo but some things are better shared....Steve H

I'm based in Herts.

Stevedh1967; I'm a bit confused. All your site reviews refer to 'our' tent and 'we' went here, so it doesn't sound as though you are a single camper anyway?

No need to be confused. Sometimes I camped with my partner and sometimes on my own. I've two teenage children and try to persuade them to come away for the weekend every now and then but they don't want to know these days. Having said that I'm going to Lone Wolf in October with my Son and my Brother for some almost wild camping...

Bob61 is organising a weekend meet for single/solo campers in Wareham on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 September. I think I'll go to do that, what about you?

Yeah, I have looked at it and think that I might go too. Seems like an organised thing, so not much risk for solo females.
I'll check the dates and £ and if it adds up I'll book. Will post my confirmation on here as per Bob61's request.

One of the benefits of going to a UKCS meet is that there is safety in numbers and the more the merrier. It can be quite daunting for solo campers, male or female, meeting up with others for the first time but my experience of the UKCS campers I have met so far is that they are genuinely nice people.

The owners and staff of Birchwood Tourist Park are the most friendly and helpful people you could meet and always seem to be on hand to help with any problems that may arise...hopefully there won't be any.

I am not sure about the meet being 'organised' - lol, but I am sure we will all muck in and have a good time.

Hope you can make it, Girzy

Girzy,

Depending on your tent size, a non EHU will cost you £7.50 or £8.50 per night. I guess that's not bad for a site with full facilities. The thing that concerns me most these days is the cost of petrol! That can make or break a weekends camping for me....

I'll definitely be attending this meet but won't be booking until after pay day....

I have put you down as interested but as yet unconfirmed. If you decide to book please let is know in this thread

Id love to meet new peeps - have the camping bug again after a weekend at Debden with campfires in July.

Sadly I dont think I can do the September meet, but keep me informed of any other dates that get arranged please!

Hi, I'm looking for a camping buddy to travel with in the UK and hopefully France. I have a small camper van.

Me again! I forgot to say - I'm not actually looking for someone to travel/stay in my camper with me. I was thinking more of travelling in convoy with another or others and staying at the same place.
