With UK Club campsites in some incredible locations, a wealth of offers and savings, and a whole lot more - you’ll find a home-from-home at the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

A new way for car camping?

Roof tents have been around longer than you think, since the 1930's, with the first patented design by an Italian designer in 1958, followed by a boom in the 1960's and 1970's with people heading off to enjoy their camping trips in the hard shell roof tents. Used all over the world for adventurers, explorers and those who just love the outdoors.
