I set out for a peaceful solo night in our campervan Flossie along the beautiful UK coastline… but things didn’t go to plan. What was meant to be a relaxing van life evening quickly turned into a frustrating mission, thanks to Thanet District Council’s harsh overnight parking restrictions. I spent over 2 hours driving around looking for a legal place to park, only to be met with signs banning sleeping in vehicles at every turn. If you’re planning to explore the UK in a campervan, this is the reality you might face, especially around Thanet. In this video, I share the struggle of finding a coastal park-up spot, talk about the challenges vanlifers are dealing with in the UK, and eventually try to salvage the evening. 🎥 Van life isn’t always sunshine and sea views, sometimes it’s stress, restrictions, and red tape. But it’s all part of the journey. ⛺ If you’ve faced something similar, let us know in the comments! #VanLifeUK #CampervanLife #ParkUpProblems
