Ashridge Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite
Here’s the fun fact that blows minds: Ashridge is on National Trust land. Yes, you’re camping in a protected, historic landscape. Think deer, bluebells, and the ghost of Henry VIII.
The woodlands here are ancient. They’ve been around since the Domesday Book. Your motorhome is parked on ground that once hosted royal hunting parties. Pretty cool, right?
There’s also a massive, gothic-style monument nearby called the Bridgewater Monument. You can climb its 172 steps for a view. Or, you can just look at it from your camping chair while sipping tea. No judgment.
Why the Caravan Club Members Are a Special Breed
Let’s be honest. The Caravan and Motorhome Club members are committed. They don’t just camp. They curate their experience. You’ll see matching crockery, coordinated windbreaks, and levels of organisation that would make a military general weep.
One guy had a tiny greenhouse attached to his van. For plants. On holiday. That’s not camping; that’s mobile horticulture. I love it.
The club motto should be: “Why use one gadget when you can use three?” Everyone has a gadget for something. Egg cookers. Cheese graters. It’s a festival of tiny appliances.
