Visiting Wales

Wales is getting more attention than it used to with many high budget UK TV programs being made in Wales, notably 'Doctor Who', 'Becoming Human' and the hilarious 'Gavin and Stacey'. But media aside let us not forget about the beautiful and enchanting countryside of Wales. My favourite way to enjoy Wales is in a campervan, so read on to find out why...

The north coast of Wales is the home of some of the fun seaside resorts like Llandudno and Conwy with large family campsites that your children will love, the resorts of mid Wales such as Aberystwyth are a little less commercial and very beautiful. You can choose from 'holiday camp' style campsites or more rural and peaceful sites further inland.

The possibilities for 'wild camping' in the more rural parts of Wales are pretty good, although I'd always recommend you stay 'on site' at least every 3 days. Bearing this in mind it is well planning your campervan trip ahead of time. In this way, you have an easier time in making all the aspects of your trip, just that little bit more smoother. Check into the company you plan for renting a motorhome first for choosing the perfect model for you and your family. Consider the sleeping space you will need and the space you might need for the kids. It helps to have rough idea of whereabouts you are going to go as some country lanes in Wales can be a bit on the narrow side and this might be worth considering when you think about the size of van you want to rent.

Many homes come complete with everything you need for cooking a great meal. You will only need to worry about supplying the food. Cookware and cutlery is included in the rental of many motorhomes. Check also about the bedding you may need to pack. While some camper hire companies provide bedding, there are those that do not.

Arrangements for your camper hire can be made easily online. You may get a look at the variety of models available to you through video for making sure you know what you are getting in advance. Once you have made the arrangements for rental, you can then begin to check out the many destinations in Wales waiting for you and your family.

Pembrokeshire and Brecon Beacons are perfect camper destinations. These are national parks that offer you a taste of the welsh country like no other place can. You should also look into the camping sites that are on offer for campervans at Snowdonia. Making your way across Snowdonia from mid Wales up towards Anglesey can indeed provide a fruitful and enjoyable experience. Being able to come back to the comfort of your camper is an added benefit particularly if you get caught in some proper 'Welsh weather'.

Start making your rental arrangements today for the Welsh experience you will never forget. By taking a campervan, you can take your time in admiring the scenic views of castles and green valleys. You can also take your time for shopping or dining out between camping destinations.
