A Short History of the Caravan and Motorhome Club

The Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) is a British organization that was founded in 1907 as the Caravan Club. The club was created by a group of individuals who were passionate about travelling in caravans and motorhomes and wanted to promote the lifestyle to others.

The early years of the club were focused on promoting the use of caravans and motorhomes and encouraging others to join the club. Members organized rallies and events, and the club published a magazine that featured articles about caravan and motorhome travel, as well as information about upcoming rallies and events.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the club continued to grow in popularity, and membership numbers increased. During this time, the club began to focus on providing more services to its members, such as providing maps and guides for travellers, as well as lobbying for better roads and camping facilities.

In the post-war years, the popularity of caravan and motorhome travel continued to grow, and the club continued to evolve to meet the needs of its members. In 2017, the club changed its name to the Caravan and Motorhome Club to reflect the growing popularity of motorhome travel.

In recent years, the club has continued to evolve to meet the needs of its members. It provides a wide range of services, including access to over 2,500 campsites and holiday parks across the UK, as well as discounts on camping and touring equipment, breakdown cover, and travel insurance. The club also organizes a variety of rallies and events throughout the year, providing members with the opportunity to meet other like-minded individuals and share their love of caravan and motorhome travel.

The CAMC is the largest club of its kind in the UK, and it is an advocate of responsible camping, environmental protection and the safety and enjoyment of outdoor living. It continues to be a valuable resource for anyone who loves the freedom and flexibility of travelling in a caravan or motorhome.
