We hope that you enjoyed the first part of our Road Trip Playlist that we published last week in collaboration with our friends Volkswagen Camper Adventures. This week, we're very pleased to be publishing part 1 of Volkswagen Camper Adventures Road Trip Playlist. Enjoy! My Campervan Playlist Having the right playlist for your ca mpervan trips is absolutely essential.   If you're anything like me, hearing certain songs will remind you of specific trips, holidays or journeys.  For example, whenever I hear Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles', it takes me back to a road trip to Cornwall for a lads holiday to Board Masters in 2007.  The song was five years old at this point, so it isn't like it was hanging around the charts and playing on the radio regularly, it was more about the funny moment where two, big, rugby league players and an Army engineer blurted out the opening lines in perfect harmony without thinking, when it played on whichever radio station we were ...

Campervan Playlist  We're very excited to be releasing this months blog in collaboration with our friends at Volkswagen Camper Adventures.  You can check out their road trip playlist and read their other blog posts by following this link to their blog.  We will also be publishing Volkswagen Camper Adventures road trip playlist on our blog on Friday 21st July. I wonder how many of the same tunes we will choose? There is nothing better than setting off on a road trip.  The open road stretching out in front of you, the excitement of the adventures ahead.  To otling around the countryside, we ( The Chaotic Campervaners ) love to listen to our favourite tunes. ...So we created a playlist of loads of tunes that we thought were perfect for playing in our campervan when we are on a road trip.  Have a look, see what you think and let me know if you have any favourite road trip tunes.

Top Tips for Visiting Stonehenge We had been intending to visit Stonehenge for a very long time!  Bakerboy had been there 3 times before many years ago, but The Bunny Whisperer and I had never visited it.  So whilst we were staying at the  Salisbury campsite , we thought that we would go to Stonehenge.  You can read all about our stay in Salisbury and what we got up to on our blog , but these are our top tips for visiting Stonehenge. Our Top Tips For Visiting Stonehenge 1. If you don't already have it, consider taking out  English Heritage membership  - If you haven't already got English Heritage membership it might be worth joining. It means that you will be able to visit Stonehenge free of charge.  Also, at busy times there may be charges for parking.  However, if you do have EH membership you won't be charged even when the car park is busy.  It does also mean that you can visit over 400 English Heritage sites free of charge such as  O...

  Our Visit to Stonehenge We had been intending to visit  Stonehenge for a very long time!  Bakerboy had been there 3 times before many years ago, but The Bunny Whisperer and I had never visited it.  So whilst we were staying at the  Salisbury campsite , we thought that we would go to see Stonehenge. Before we booked our tickets to Stonehenge we decided to take out English Heritage membership .  We had previously been members and although this cost more than the entry to Stonehenge, we decided that it would be worth it as we would then be able to visit Stonehenge and over 400 other EH sites free of charge.   We booked our free tickets for 9.30 am, the earliest time that we could as this would be quieter.   When we arrived at Stonehenge, the queue for pre-booked tickets was much shorter than for those who were booking on arrival.  As you approach the ticket booth, there are QR Codes for you to download the free audio tour.  Alt...

Salisbury Camping and Caravanning Club Site Salisbury Campsite Aeroplanes, ancient stones, cathedral city and masses of history We arrived at the Salisbury Camping and Caravanning Club Site feeling very excited as this was going to be the first time that we had actually slept in Reo The Speedwagon , our trusty campervan.  We had a lovely flat pitch in the middle of the top field.  Once we had set up our awning we sat down to eat delicious woodfired pizzas from the pizza van that visits on Friday evenings between 5.30 and 7.30.  The Salisbury campsite has 2 fields, both of which slope. The facilities include 2 toilet blocks, a small one at the top of the campsite and the main block with toilets, showers, wash cubicles and a washing up area further down.  The site also has accessible facilities, a parent and child room and washing machines.  Although the campsite does not have a play area, it is nestled next to Hudson's Field where there is plenty of room for ball...

  Umberleigh Camping and Caravanning Club Site Umberleigh Campsite  Seaside towns, War Horse farm, sandy beaches, tennis and so much more! We arrived at the Umberleigh Camping and Caravanning Club Site in North Devon for our five night stay.  We had chosen this campsite as The Bunny Whisperer had never been to the north of the county and it seemed to be a good place to start. We were welcomed, shown where everything was and we were offered a choice of pitches.  We chose a lovely flat pitch with beautiful views across the fields.  The campsite is a fairly small but beautifully kept site with one toilet block which also has wash cubicles, showers, accessible facilities, parent and child facilities, washing up sinks and washing machines.  There is also a dog walk, a small play area, a field for playing ball games, two tennis courts for hire and a really good games room.  There was a small charge for the pool table and ping pong balls were available to buy...
