There are a few singles groups . I can't remember the names . But I'm sure some one on here will
If you don't find one there are a lot of solo caravan or motorhome people that use the c&cc club . My sister stores her van at one and when we have been to Blackmore near Malverns there are always solo campers there . I think the c&cc club would be good to meet people or make friends . They are a safe and a friendly club to go to or even just try out . You don't have to join if you won't to just try them out first .
Good luck

Dick, Welcome. Once you get out there and meet like minded people, you wont need special sort of groups. That first "good morning" once on site usually starts a conversation with other owners and friendships soon start from the common interest we all share. Have noticed in my experience that having a dog seems to get people talking to each other. We dont have a dog but found on the whole campers of all types are a friendly bunch, and like a chat. Plenty of Adult only sites around, which is what we go for when we can.
Or this sub forum on here might help. click

Welcome dick2 , I'm with geoffprinter on most of what he tells you , and as you say , this is a beautiful country , I always travel on my own nowadays , I have more spare time than my lady friend , plus I think as you get older you tend to know exactly the kind of places and activities that will suit yourself , I personally prefer to be on or close to the coastal regions , and my favourite coast in England is Somerset , round North Devon and some of Cornwall .
There is plenty of good helpfull and friendly advice on this forum ,
Good luck on your intended trips

Any plans to meet up anywhere 🙂

There is the new companions group
https://newcompanions.org.uk/
and the Phoenix group
http://www.thephoenixcampingclub.co.uk/
Not camped with either so can't say what they are like.

The Phoenix club insists that you must have no partner, either live-in or otherwise.
I looked at joining one of the singles camping groups when I sadly lost my wife of 46 years to cancer last year, but after investigating a few I decided I'd just "do my own thing".

When I was at DelaMere Forest in 2016 there was a group all in vans, mixture of single and couples. They were moving on to another campsite and were on the road for about 3 or 4 weeks. Can't remember what they were called though but there are groups out there
