Frequently Asked Questions

A District Association (DA) is made up of members who operate on a voluntary basis to form a group; this group organises temporary camping events for up to 5 days (a Meet) or up to 28 days (a Temporary Holiday Site) usually with entertainment and activities planned. These events can be held anywhere in the UK, and members are welcome to attend any Meet, whether it’s organised by your own DA or a different DA elsewhere in the country.

Upon joining the Club you are automatically assigned to your local DA based on your home postcode, however, you can change this to whichever DA you wish to be registered with. Simply contact the Secretary of the District Association you would like to move to, and they will send you an Opting Form to complete.

Social Camping is a term the Club uses to describe the Meets and Temporary Holiday Sites organised and managed by our District Associations, Regions or Special Interest Sections. We chose this term because it explains what this style of camping is all about – camping events run by passionate members, for members who share the same interests. Social Camping offers some of the most inexpensive camping available, and you’ll always be guaranteed a warm, friendly welcome.

No. You will be advised as to the best place to pitch your unit by the steward.

Rarely, most of our Weekend Meets and Temporary Holiday Sites are held in farmers' fields so you will need your own self contained toilet and washing facilities. If there are facilities they will be described in the meet description.

Rarely. You will normally need your own power. A fully charged battery should easily last you the weekend. Most DA campers install solar panels which can keep your battery topped up and makes longer meets a doddle. You could also use a generator to top your battery up but please be aware there are strict rules regarding the times you can use them..
