I am 26 and my OH is 23 and we love the whole campig thing. We started off in a cheap caravan but then outgrew it so I insisted on my portable bungalow ( as we have 4 kids 7,6,5 and 2) I absolutely love my tent the kids love it and so does OH, we go every couple of weeks on weekends as I must say camping is extremely enjoyable and very cheap, don't get me wrong we do the whole Butlins thing for a Christmas treat but wouldn't be able to afford to go as often as we do without the tent.

I understand the looks people often comment that we must be mad camping with 4 young children, but at the end of the day they love it and all the hiking we do it keeping em fit and off the gogle box at home.

No I'm not a fitness freak we just love simple things when away from home and all the fresh air. I think we need a break from all the commercial things in life and to get away from computers ( as you can guess I work with pc's all day lol)

Ohhh I've written an essay without realising LoL.

We should all have a big meetup and a good drinky.

Cheers Tabby, Dwell and little angels.

i'm 32 and looking for my 1st van only been camping for 4 years but wanting some creature comforts

get onto a UKCs meet as loads of young (mentally) folk on there 

I do find sometimes people avoid me , but most of the time caravaners are a friendly bunch , i do say good morning , afternoon and evening , sometimes i'm ignored or on our last holiday i was met with a grunt by one happy camper . Most do say goodmorning back .
I've come up with a great new way of getting to chat to others when on sites , i walk round the site and look for someone by their caravan , then i think of a question about their caravan , the weather , journey etc , then walk over and pop the question , so far it's worked really well and i've had some great conversations . On a trip to the loo's i was gone for one and a half hours , well i got chatting on the way back , my wife thought i'd got super glued to the bog and was about to send out a search party for me .
