If I've got to go camping, at least I'm going to be comfy!

Obviously go for it, solo camping is great.

I mostly solo camp, and in the near future, that is all I will be doing.

I have a young springer spaniel who always camps with me. I have had a few tents for solo camping, but think that my newest purchase will be the one I use from now on. (although that has been the case with the last half a dozen solo tents I have bought) The final one is a cabanon calais, and this has standing headroom in the living section. It is quick and easy to pitch.

I second Jelboy's comments.

We have a 6 berth folding camper and when the wife is busy and I push off on my own with the 2 dogs, I have never had any comments about using such a big unit by myself. Aye and I have an awning as well.

Okay, it takes more time to set up and pack up, when I am on my own, but then I have more space to spread out and I am not tripping over dogs all the time.

Stephen, I camp solo all the time throughout the winter. My wife doesnt camp but that suits me, I actively seek the solitude you have intrepidation with!

Use a campsite that allows fires and is within walking distance to a pub. It is amazing how much time you spend foraging and preparing firewood. After a good kippering by the fire there is nothing better than wandering up to the local pub to blow the foam off a few. Most country pubs are dog friendly.

Buy a Kindle.

I could do with a good kippering myself....

Glad you like JR's too. Mine's only four months old now and thinks everything belongs to him so my neighbours on site will be forced to listen to repeated cries of "leave it", "off", "down", "Ziggy!" and "NO!!!"
