Caravanners hoping to catch some of the Olympic action in 2012 could stay at one of two temporary sites being opened by the Camping and Caravanning Club.
In partnership with Gravesham Borough Council, the group will be offering pitches on a combined site at the Gravesend and Old Gravesendians Rugby Clubs and another at Culverstone Recreation Ground.
Each site will be equipped with toilets and shower facilities, as well as club houses, and will be welcoming visitors from July 20th to August 16th 2012.
The highlight for caravanners is that both sites are close to Ebbsfleet International railway station, which will be operating a high-speed rail link into Stratford in east London, where the Games will be taking place.
Paul Jones, membership services director at the Camping and Caravanning Club, said he expects pitches on these temporary sites to fill up quickly.
“We are expecting interest from countries such as Holland, Belgium, Spain, Italy, France and Germany as well as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA, so we are advising people to register their interest early.”
The 2012 Olympic Games are due to take place from July 27th to August 12th. They will be followed by the Paralympic Games from August 29th until September 9th.
