Friendly Club: Family camping is on the rise

by Chris Jefferies
With the price of overseas holidays on the rise, more and more British families are discovering the attractions of taking a camping and caravanning trip in the UK, it has been claimed.
The Camping and Caravanning Club has reported a rise in family bookings amongst its members, with The Lake District and Cornwall remaining the most popular destinations.
Kim Blythe, public relations executive at the Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “Why go anywhere different when we’ve got such beautiful countryside around us? We are seeing a lot more campers now and family campers are definitely on the rise.”
She added that advance bookings for this summer are already four per cent higher than they were in 2010.
Members of the Camping and Caravanning club can get reduced rates at over 100 caravan parks and camp sites in the UK, as well as access to 1,400 members-only Certified Sites in remote places across the country.
