The Roots of the N.T.C.A.  

The association was founded in the mid seventies by life long camping enthusiasts from many walks of life enjoying there hobbies in the countryside with the Camping Club of Great Britain & Ireland.
The prosperity of the times saw an increase in the number of caravans owned by members who could not afford to become members of the Caravan Club, because of the financial burden of two extra wheels and one ton of baggage.

A rare fungal growth

With sites requiring wide gates with tarmac access and a firm drive to their pitch with room enough to keep a pony, the sites became large, un-secluded, obvious to the passing eye and harder to find with the ever increasing number of caravans blocking the ground level view from the entrance to the canvas abodes of the tent campers.

Hence the foundation of our association twenty eight years ago to continue the tent camping tradition in it’s original form, the association grew to over five hundred members from all walks of life throughout Britain, Scotland, Wales & Ireland.

The one thing that can be guaranteed, is a warm welcome whatever the weather, this is a tent camping club for all who enjoy the countryside and open air, whatever the age group or particular interests with children welcome to continue this peaceful relaxing activity well past the Millennium.
