Northumberland campers urged to leave no trace

Northumberland County Council has launched its annual 'Love it Like it’s Yours' campaign, urging motorhome and caravan users to respect the countryside during the summer staycation season. The campaign follows the expansion of a pilot scheme allowing overnight motorhome stays in selected Forestry England car parks, including Kielder. Visitors are asked to book legal campsites, take litter home, and use designated waste disposal sites.

The Riff Report Review: Steelhouse Festival 2026 – Campervan & Caravan Camp

The Riff Report reviewed the campervan and caravan camp at Steelhouse Festival 2026. Owners of motorhomes and caravans can arrive a day early, on Thursday. The camp is located on a Welsh mountain, where weather can change quickly. The review notes that the camp fosters a community where neighbours help each other and provides comfort: hot showers, cooking facilities, and shelter from weather.

Review: A Home from Home Two Hours from Shrewsbury

My Shrewsbury editor Claire Pocock spent two nights in a static caravan at Min-Y-Don Holiday Park in Harlech, Wales. The park is located between Harlech Beach dunes and Snowdonia mountains, a two-hour drive from Shrewsbury. The family of four stayed in a Willerby Severn with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a living area. The park is open March to January and offers a children's play area, football pitch, bike track, laundrette, free Wi-Fi, and a dog walking area. Min-Y-Don is part of the Salop Caravan Sites group, sister company to Shrewsbury-based Salop Leisure.

Gozney Arc Lite: compact gas pizza oven for camping

Gozney has launched the Arc Lite, a compact gas pizza oven aimed at campers and travelers. Priced at €399.99, it features a cordierite stone and simple knob control. In IMTEST's review, the oven demonstrated excellent temperature stability (only 1 °C variation over 30 seconds) but struggled with cooking: at maximum heat (~400 °C), the crust burned while the dough remained undercooked. Optimal results require 300–350 °C and frequent turning. No accessories are included; a basic set (peel, thermometer, cover) costs nearly €200 extra.
