Vanlife doesn’t get better than this!
Remote camp spots in our VW California Campervan are what we strive for.
This forest location high up in the North Wales hills in Snowdonia (Eryri) national park is the perfect place for a campfire, beers, cooking on a fire pit, bit of bushcraft, hiking through the woodland with our dog without seeing a single person!
We cooked some tomaporks on the Kadai travel fire bowl but had to rely on the Petromax Atago for backup due to the meat being too big.
As mentioned, we're considering another camper van life meet up and wondered if you think we should have it at this location or attempt to find a quiet field/campsite to allow more vans, bigger vans and more space to spread out but, with no social shelter from bad weather?

Our favourite portable fire pits for camping
มุมมอง 1.9K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
When travelling and camping in our camper van, we often use a fire pit. You may already know, we often cook over a fire pit too, whether it be curry, steak, burgers or chicken. We use a mixture of charcoal and wood for that authentic smoke flavour but aside from cooking, there's nothing better than a campfire surrounded by family & friends with a beer in hand, especially if you're fighting mosq...
Perfect hike from this campsite | Peak District

The Peak District national park is becoming a firm favourite camping location for us in our VW California camper van.

    Is there any chance of making that bridge access a bit bigger? 😆 TBH, looking at that evening, I would have risked it! Of course, the main issue we have is getting our beast over that bridge, but driving past, turning at the top of the hill and approaching from the other end may help. The next issue is reversing back over it if I have no room to turn once we arrive. Of course, we're always up for a meet up and we will keep an eye on everyone's suggestions and see what's planned.

One question though, which may or may not be stupid……..how does your clothes/down jackets etc fair up when near the fire? I would be worried about the embers. Also, do you use it under the wind out awning or outside of it when sitting underneath?

    • @Professionalmoochers
      @Professionalmoochers 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      We’ve started looking specifically for sites which allow fires 😉 If you have properly dried wood, it’ll spit & smoke less, with a lot less embers but, we normally try not to wear a fragile jacket near it. Normally go wool or fleece. Under the awning shade should be fine but, you’d have to use less fuel, keep the heat levels down

      @@Professionalmoochers I looked it up, it’s actually called a convection dome! I bought the atago as a set which included the bag and the dome. Didn’t think I’d ever use the dome but it’s great, can use it as a smoker or to create an oven when using a small Dutch oven on the top grate etc. The hot plate I have is the one with the hole in the middle (to feed fuel) but also doubles up as a great burner to boil water for a brew while frying the bacon for breakfast butties!

      Couldn’t agree more! We carried ours on every trip before building a collection of pits 👍🏼

    The snow peak grill is both adjustable and 304 stainless steel. Whoever said it was made of chrome is either a liar or clueless when it comes to the art of metallurgical compounds. 😂😂

      It’s the additional grill which goes ontop, which is chrome plated. The reason I didn’t invest the extra on it. The fire pit itself though, is really robust 👌🏼
