Solo Van Life Getting Lonely? Here's How to Connect 🚐

Van life doesn't have to mean lonely life. Many solo travellers find themselves craving genuine connections after weeks of stunning sunsets with no one to share them with. The good news? Building a social network on the road is absolutely possible when you know where to look.

The key is finding your tribe through dedicated communities like The Van Club, where solo adventurers regularly meet up at rallies across the UK. Picture pulling into a field filled with fellow van lifers, sharing stories around campfires, and discovering your next travel buddy over morning coffee. Our members often say the friendships they've made have completely changed their van life experience. What's been your biggest challenge with solo travel? Have you found ways to connect with other adventurers on your journeys? ✨

🌟 What a fabulous first 5-day rally! 🌟

We’ve just wrapped up an incredible few days filled with quizzes, games, beach walks, music bingo, and unforgettable live music from the amazing Billy 🎶

We couldn’t have picked a better spot — just 200 metres from the beach and right on the doorstep of New Hunstanton. Safe to say, this is one venue we’ll be coming back to time and time again!

The weather was kind, and last night’s quiz under the Van Club gazebo brought loads of laughs (and a fair bit of head-scratching!) — but in the end, it was Del’s Bi***es who took the crown

The prize for Best Dressed Van went to Jacky, Graham, and Ella — a well-deserved win that brought smiles all round!

Before waving goodbye this morning, we held a draw for a complementary two-night rally, which went to Hazel and Alan 👏

Once we saw everyone off safely, we headed to the laundrette and supermarket to restock and recharge… because next up, it’s Hatton Park! We’ve tucked ourselves away on a cosy CL site nearby, parked up with other Van club members, counting down the days until the next rally begins

A huge thank you to all our amazing members who joined us — you made the rally what it was. We can’t wait to see you all again very soon for more adventures, laughter, and unforgettable Van Club memories!

What a fantastic day it’s been here at the Van Club rally in Hunstanton!

We kicked off the afternoon soaking up the atmosphere on the Green, where 300 voices from the Rock Choir filled the air with music, harmony, and sheer joy.

Afterwards, we retreated to the Van Club gazebo for an afternoon of camaraderie and laughter before moving on to the Wash and Tope to cheer on the Lionesses, and what a game! ⚽ The atmosphere was electric as we all came together to watch them bring home a well-earned win!

A huge thank you to The Wash and Tope team for their amazing hospitality — cold drinks, and such a warm welcome.

🌟 Van Club Vibes in Hunstanton! 🌟
We’re over halfway through our incredible rally at the Hunstanton Community Centre, and what a ride it’s been so far! Through sunshine, showers, and sizzling temperatures, this amazing group has laughed until we’ve cried — and we’re not done yet!

Thursday brought a flurry of arrivals and the return of the famous ever-expanding circle outside the Van Club tent — the heart of our community where friendships are rekindled and stories shared.

The location is an absolute gem, with the charming town and gorgeous beaches just steps away. There’s been no shortage of seaside strolls, ice creams, and the salty breeze in our hair.

Friday night we were treated to an unforgettable performance by the incredibly talented Billy, who not only had the whole crowd singing along but also wowed us with an original song he wrote and composed himself. The atmosphere was pure magic.

Saturday’s Music Bingo was a blast! Hazel grabbed a line, and Andy took the full house prize — but young Ella was the real star of the night, outshining the grown-ups and getting answers before most of us could hum the tune!

On Sunday morning, an adventurous bunch set off to try their hand at geocaching, discovering hidden treasures and taking in the sights and rich history of New Hunstanton with a full Adventure Lab Cache completed — a brilliant way to explore together.

And guess what? We’ve still got two more nights to go and plenty of fun still ahead! 🎉
