The Phoenix Camping Club
About Us
We are a national camping club exclusively for single people, not in a relationship, who live and camp alone. If a member forms a relationship, they are expected to leave, which means that all our members are on an equal footing socially. We are definitely not about dating!
We are a friendly easy-going group of people who enjoy camping together. We have about 300 members across the UK, which makes the Club small enough to get to know people quite quickly. Members camp individually in tents, caravans, motorhomes and campervans
Our Camping Programme
Our camping get-togethers are called meets. We try to arrange a full and interesting programme of meets all over the country. Often there can be 2 or 3 linked meets in an area which make it worthwhile to travel further afield. Meets are put on by members at a location and campsite of their choice, so the programme will vary each year. Some meets are quite small with maybe only 3 or 4 members, others may be bigger with 15+ members. Members may attend any meets they choose, joining and leaving when they chose. There are two bigger meets in the Spring and Autumn which are organised by the Committee, where we might get 40 -70 attending. For more information click here
The programme of meets is available in the member only area of this website and is also sent to members with the bi-monthly newsletter. The website is the most up to date source reflecting new meets as they are added throughout the year.
It can't be sunny everyday but we still enjoy our camping trips
We take our pets with us and meet many more animals on our travels
We use Camping and Caravan Club (CCC) and Caravan and Motorhome Club (CMC) sites quite a lot, as their pricing structure can be favourable to solo campers. It widens the choice of meets if you are a member of CCC or CMC or both. However, meets are also held on commercial sites or occasionally in the warmer months on a rally field without hook up, where you need your own facilities.
At the meets, we usually have a daily get together around 10am or 5pm to discuss plans for that day/next day. None of the activities are compulsory but we do try hard to ensure that everyone is included, if they so wish. A lot of our members enjoy walking and cycling, but some meets will inevitably be more active than others. Most meets will include a walk¸ visit to place of interest, meals out and trips to the local pub. Dog walking is popular too. Evening activities can be organised by members.

Photos are often taken at meets and can be posted on our private FB page and the website. Please make fellow members aware if you do not wish to appear in photos that might be shared and withdraw yourself, wherever possible, from any photos being taken.
