We’ve gone all pink love hearts and chocolates here at Caravan Times in preparation for the most romantic day of the year.
We want to know how you are planning on spending Valentine’s Day. Dinner? Cinema? Haven’t really thought about it?
If the usual clichéd gestures or last minute efforts have become a little old and you really want to sweep your partner off their feet this year, why not celebrate love a little differently with a romantic evening in your caravan?
Why?
Caravan’s have the wonderful advantage of being a source of both freedom and creature comforts, and with that freedom comes the opportunity to travel to some truly beautiful destinations to enjoy with your special someone.
Nothing could be more romantic than pitching up and enjoying a star-filled evening with breathtaking scenery. We have thought long and hard and have come up with what we think are three of the most amorous locations for your evening’s enjoyment.
The picturesque caravan site boasts of magnificent sea views in a stunning location in Cornwall.
Open all year, the site has paths to the fishing village of Looe and is only a short walk to the harbour, fish quay and quaint cafes with cream teas. Best of all it is located right by the beach. What could be romantic than a midnight stroll on the sand?
2. Bishop Meadow Camping and Caravan Park, Powys, Wales
You would not even have to leave your caravan to enjoy the best of the British countryside with rolling hills, as far as the eye can see, right on your doorstep. There is also an array of activities available for the more adventurous couple, such as horse riding and canoeing.
If this isn’t up your street, there are also farmers’ markets to wander around and walking trails in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
3. Castel Camping Le Ty Nadan, Brittany, France
If you really want to push the boat out, why not go to one of the most romantic (and easily accessible for British caravanners) locations in the world – France.
The caravan site, featuring on The Independent’s top 10 list for best camping sites, is described as being “in a superb setting amongst wooded countryside on a 60-acre, riverside estate.” Sounds good to us!
The décor
So your destination is booked, the missus does not suspect a thing, and it is shaping up to be a great night, but the caravan looks. just like your caravan.
You’ve gone on holidays with it a thousand times, why should this time be any more special? The appearance, that’s why.
Plan an amazing romantic evening with candles, flowers and fairy lights. You could even invest in a couple of Chinese lanterns to truly set off the stunning romantic gesture.
If you’re stuck for inspiration, this romantic scene from Desperate Housewives should give you a few ideas.
Eating outdoors
Another advantage of travelling in your home away from home is a chance to stock your cupboards with all the right ingredients needed to make a starlit romantic supper or even a romantic picnic.
More personal than any restaurant, never underestimate the appreciation of a home-made meal.
And finally, the gifts
So, you’ve found the perfect caravan park – overlooking beaches, the rolling British countryside or nestled in a gorgeous woodland area.
You’ve decorated the caravan to perfection and cooked a homemade dinner. So far, you are a top partner! But what’s missing? Gifts!
There are plenty of sites out there for buying thoughtful Valentine’s Day presents, but if your love your caravan almost as much as your other half, then this list on Spreadshirt.co.uk is a great place to start shopping.
To all the singletons’<' . strtolower('Array')3>
Just because you’re flying solo this Valentine’s Day it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.
If you’re a single guy/girl, why not go on an all-girls/boys trip to somewhere fabulous, like the Peak District? As Jane Austen once wrote ‘what are men compared to rocks and mountains?’
