Lightweight Camping:
Connect, Explore, Enjoy
A special interest section of the Camping and Caravanning Club …. No-fuss social camping by cycle, foot or any type of powered transport.
We are open to cycle campers, backpackers, motorcyclists, car campers – anyone who likes the freedom of setting off with a small tent and enough kit to be comfortable.
We have meets all year, we don’t mind the weather, we just need to take different gear!
We set our summer meets programme early in the new year and winter meets are planned by autumn.
We hope you will join us at a meet soon

Located on the River Ure, this campsite is a great spot for walking or visiting nearby York.
Our pretty Boroughbridge Club campsite in North Yorkshire, just off the A1, is a great stop over site for those travelling up or down the country. Equally, its location close the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks makes it a good base for those wanting to explore Yorkshire’s many attractions.
There are a number of walking opportunities nearby. The old town of Boroughbridge is within walking distance. There are a few circular walks from the site, or you can enjoy a stroll along the river from Roecliffe to Ripon.
The delightful Harrogate – great for shopping and Betty’s Tearoom – and the city of York – with its famous minster and the Jorvik Viking Centre – are a short distance away while Fountains Abbey, Studley Royall and Newby Hall make interesting days out.

Friday 26 September 2025
Moffat CCC site (2 nights)
If you wish to join us please get in touch by clicking here!
An ideal stopping point for journeys through Scotland, our friendly Moffat Club Site lies in the stunning Scottish Lowlands.
Despite being just three minutes from the M74, the pretty Victorian spa town of Moffat is much more than just a pit stop. With 180 pitches, this well-laid-out campsite boasts well-placed facilities.
Surrounded by magnificent scenery, Moffat Club Site is located in a wide-open valley.
Just a five-minute walk from the campsite, Moffat boasts one of the broadest high streets in Scotland. Take some time to find the fountain topped by the statue of Colvin Ram, the famous Moffat Toffee Shop and the Star Hotel – appearing in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest hotel in the world. On a Friday, Moffat hosts a weekly market and a monthly producer’s market.
Nearby, Station Park offers a variety of attractions including a boating lake and gardens. In October, the town holds an annual walking festival, and from the campsite, you can access some of the finest hill-walking in south Scotland.
Located close to the campsite, Grey Mare’s Tail is a magnificent waterfall dropping over 200 feet from Loch Skene.
There are several historic houses and castles in the area, including Drumlan Rig Castle near Thornhill. Surrounded by magnificent landscaped gardens, this castle is Scotland’s oldest inhabited house and contains artwork by Rembrandt and Da Vinci.
Located close to Dumfries, Caerlaverock Castle is a moated medieval fortress overlooking the Solway Firth.
