So many people each year spend New Year’s Eve the same way, at a friends house, with family or at a house party somewhere hosted by someone you may or may not know. But for those select few, travelling for New Year’s Eve holds a much greater appeal. Rather than getting on a plane and spending money on expensive accomodation, those with a motorhome may choose to spend their time closer to home. Whether you are driving in a campervan or even towing a caravan, spending New Year’s Eve away from home and the family can be hard to do. But with so many people having their own motorhomes, there are plenty of different options available for campers to choose from regarding location, celebrations and day time activities without travelling too far away.  

Travelling in a campervan is great, but knowing where to park for the night is essential especially at this time of the year. Luckily, some caravan and campervan parks have organised different New Year’s Eve festivities, providing games, food, drink and music. This provides the perfect setting to meet new people, celebrate the end of the year and enjoy being somewhere new and different. The Camping and Caravan Club website provides a great list of locations where you can park up and join in on different celebrations. Also, places like Edinburgh, St Ives and Cornwall have a variety of campervan and caravan parks where you can stay that are a short distance away from numerous New Year’s Eve celebrations. These include fancy dress, public parties, bar events and many more. This means that you can enjoy somewhere different and see how other places celebrate the new year. Or if you prefer something more relaxing, you can take a walk on the beach, go on a hike during the day and then enjoy a home cooked meal at night followed by a film and then bed. Your home on wheels can provide all of this and is the perfect space to relax and have an easy New Year’s Eve.

You don’t need to go out to celebrate the new year, why not create your own New Year’s Eve party inside your motorhome. Before you set off on your travels, pack some party food, drinks, decorations, music and games. You can easily have fun on your own or with some family in your home on wheels. Decorate your campervan to get everyone in the festive spirit, put out party food and dance to music until it’s time to bring in the new year. Having a mini celebration with just a few of you means that you are keeping up with the festivities and ringing in the new year in your own way. This is perfect if you don’t mind staying in and celebrating the new year with your family somewhere away from home.

There are also alternative ways to spend the day that you not have thought of before. You can even do something completely different from the norm and spend New Year’s Eve at a theme park. Gulliver’s World in particular offers a special road trip package where you can park your motorhome at a designated pitch, enjoy a day on the rides, see a magical pantomime and then visit the entertainment theatre for some family fun in the evening. This especially is fun if you have children with you as you can make a full day out of it and create memories that will last. Then at the end of the day you can retire to your motorhome and have a good nights sleep after a full day of activities. For anyone looking for a different way to enjoy the end of the year, theme parks always provide a fun way to make memories with the family.

With millions of people owning their own motorhome, spending New Year’s Eve in one is not out of the ordinary. Travelling the country in your home on wheels is the perfect way to end the year, visiting new places and celebrating the night with new people in a new place is the perfect way to make lasting memories. From theme parks to camping sites and staying in for the night, there are so many ways in which you can celebrate the end of the year and welcome the new one, all in a motorhome. By doing something different from the traditional norm of staying at home, you are making new memories and enjoying your time with those around you. A motorhome is the perfect way to do celebrate New Year’s Eve on your own terms.
