Over One Million People Go On Camping Holidays In The UK

July 4, 2012 - PRLog -- The famous film ‘Carry on Camping’ should not be confused with the campers of today, who take this recreational activity very seriously, furthermore surveys have shown that currently over 1.2 million people use camping as their main holiday within the UK.

Camping under canvas has been enjoyed since the 1800s and in fact led to the beginnings of the Camping and Caravanning Club, as more and more people take up the activity of camping, membership has grown to a third of a million over recent years.
The continued interest in camping goes from strength to strength, having said that people wanting a more formidable shell between them and the elements, turned to holiday caravans which became very popular as early as the 1930s.

The British holidaymaker started to change the way they took their holidays in the UK and started to notice the benefits of camping and caravanning rather than staying in a guest house or hotel, which in the past had been their usual place of accommodation.

The true caravanner has always been in tune with the counties of Devon and Cornwall, thus this has become the most popular location for camping and caravanning.  The discerning holidaymaker wants value for money and somewhere interesting, places to visit, and things to do and believe it or not don’t crave for far off destinations.

A good quality caravan park Cornwall takes some beating, and has much to offer.  Set in some of the most beautiful countryside always by the sea and you will not mind if you are in a tent or a static caravan, you will find these sites have everything to make the perfect holiday.

Cornwall caravan parks are dotted all over the county, and maybe you want to use one as a base and tour all around both Devon and Cornwall, this type of holiday is great for all the family, it is a safe place for children to play adjacent to your pitch, and of course there will be plenty to do on site or in the surrounding area.

You may choose a Devon caravan park either way the counties are perfect to tour with your own caravan or pick out a luxury static one to enjoy time bonding with family and friends.  This is the perfect holiday to go as a group, you will have so much fun entering into the wonderful spirit of the outdoors and enjoying the wonderful beaches.

One thing is for sure holidaymakers are staying in the UK for their annual break, they are sick and fed up of travelling to the sun and putting up with flight delays, and not knowing exactly what accommodation they will have on arrival, it makes sense to holiday in the UK, and campsites in Cornwall seem more attractive day by day.

A spokesman for Wooda Farm Holiday Park in North Cornwall said “these days camping and caravanning is a totally different ball game, either a campsite Devon or Cornwall or in fact anywhere in the UK will give the holidaymaker so much pleasure, facilities are second to none and there is always plenty to see and do”.

Camping is good for us all no matter what age, it is the number one recreational activity and long may it reign.
