Find perfect campervan and caravan holidays in Wales

Even if you're a seasoned caravanner, or a campervan or motorhome owner, it's important to prepare before you set off for your holiday in Wales. Some of our roads are steep and narrow, so be sure to plan your route carefully. And popular caravan parks in Wales are often full in peak months. Book pitches in advance or chances are you might be disappointed.

Importantly, please don't park your caravan, campervan or motorhome anywhere other than a designated camping site. Parking in unauthorised locations often damages natural habitats and it can also cause strain on local services and infrastructure.

For more useful information take a look at the advice and training section on the Caravan Club website.
