Sometimes, you need a place where you can truly unwind. Somewhere remote or simply secluded and peaceful where you’ll have little in the way of disruption.
As wonderful as kids are - whether they’re your own children, grandchildren or someone else's - it’s nice to know you can, in fact, have a break from them altogether.
In the world of campervans and motorhomes, this is known as an adult-only campsite. Secluded, well-maintained sites that are quiet, peaceful and, most importantly, exclusively for adults.
From beautiful walking trails, immaculately kept grounds and luxury-like amenities in the form of lodges and heated toilets, most of these places offer a brilliant mix of both the camping and glamping experience.
Some even feature private luxury trailers and lodges that you can rent if you’re keen to try the RV life on for size. And, what better place to do this than on a clean, quiet and perhaps less hectic campsite?
Equally, for those who have been on the road for a while now, an adult-only campsite can offer that well-needed respite and a little slice of home after days of uninterrupted wanderlust travelling.
We’ve compiled a list of some great adult-only campsites, some of them members of Tranquil Parks where you can retire for a few days of proper rejuvenation.
From the Peak District and Fenlands all the way to the Cornish Coast, you’ll find many stops along the way catering towards the more grown-up members of the population.
In order to truly unwind and relax, we suggest making sure you’ve got motorhome insurance sorted. That way, you know you’re well protected when it comes to fulfilling all your travelling dreams.

You’ve found the place; now find the right motorhome insurance!
Motorhoming is a unique way of life that offers so many rewarding and wonderful experiences. As such, a motorhome is not your usual run-of-the-mill vehicle.
Not only does it ensure you get from A to B, it also carries your precious belongings that you’ll need on the way.
Regular car insurance wouldn’t give you the extended coverage you need for a vehicle of this type.
That’s where specialist motorhome insurance comes in.
These kinds of policies offer cover specifically for recreational vehicles, which are heavier on the road, and also contents insurance to protect the valuables you take along for the ride.
Additional features of these policies can include*:
- Unlimited cover for EU countries
- Personal effects cover of up to £3,000
