How it all began

Back in 2017 Dave already had two greyhounds Anya and Mickey, when he purchased his first caravan. One afternoon he was browsing Facebook when he wondered what would happen if he set up a group for ” Greyhounds in Caravans”. The idea was born. The original thought was to get 20 or 30 members who would enjoy camping with their hounds. Shortly after setting up the group he was informed of another group which was similar ” Camping with Sighthounds”. To avoid duplication he contacted the admin of this group and it was agreed that the two groups should merge – Camping and Caravanning with Greyhounds and Sighthounds was born.  The group started to steadily grow and Dave remembers being excited when the group reached the dizzy heights of 100 members never in a million years did he expect to reach the present figures (7/5/24) of over 6100 members. It was agreed in early 2018 that the group should hold a meet which was held at Home Farm Accomodation near Leominster and we had an amazing turnout of 8 pitches. This was followed in 2019 by a meet at Greenhill Leisure Park in Kidlington with 19 pitches. Then Covid-19 scuppered the next couple of years of meets but we recommenced them at Croft Farm Waterpark in Sept 2021 which was the start of the great relationship I have with this site today, I was amazed to have 52 pitches booked. Since then year on year the meets have increased in number and size and at Croft Farm 2025 we already have 145 pitches booked including lodges, pods, hard standing, grass pitches and off grid pitches .
