The Alan Rogers / Caravan and Motorhome Club Awards - Results 2022
Presented at the NEC, Birmingham on 22nd February 2023
Emerging from the pandemic, we've brought the awards back with a bang for the 2022 season. For the first time, we hosted our ceremony at the NEC, Birmingham, coinciding with the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2023.
As before, the awards have a broad scope, and before committing to our winners, we carefully consider campsites which are featured in the Alan Rogers guides and the Caravan and Motorhome Club 'Venture Abroad' program, taking into account comments from our site assessors, our head office team and, of course, our members and readers.
The award winners come from the four corners of Europe, from Ireland to Slovenia, and we are awarding campsites in eight countries across the.
For the 2022 awards, we've introduced three new categories; Most Attractive Site award, Most Accessible Site award and Exceptional Services & Facilities Award. It’s an extremely difficult task to choose our eventual winners, but we believe that we identified a number of campsites with truly outstanding characteristics.
In each case, we selected an outright winner, along with a highly commended runner-up. Listed below are full details of each of our award categories and our winners for 2022.
