Not everything we do involves a campsite
Festivals was how I started my camping life and getting a van was a natural progression. It not only makes festival life easier but having a van enables you to do so much more.
Owning a camper van is a way of life it enables having day trips or going out for a drive, having lunch with a friend or sleeping on someone's drive. There's a whole community surrounding camper vans and in particular the VW scene. This has grown or become more visible through the use of social media groups and events.
Here's some of the things Jasper gets up to which don't involve going to an actual campsite.

Dubs in the Middle
