Camping and caravanning has always been a favourite leisure activity in the UK. There are literally thousands of campsite and caravan parks in the UK from as little as £6 a night for a tent pitch.

Years ago people would set off for a camping weekend and pitch their tent at whatever seemingly appropriate place they found. Nowadays, people who go on a camping holiday tend to stay at one of a growing number of camp sites, most of which have toilet and shower facilities – some of which are very nice indeed. There is still the odd farmer who will let out a fallow field to campers, but generally speaking there will be no facilities for the campers to use.

Today’s tents are much bigger; some of them holding up to six people, and the expectation from campers is much greater. Most campers no longer cook on an open fire as they take a portable grill or barbecue with them.

Another British favourite type of holiday accommodation is the caravan. From the nineteen fifties through to the nineteen seventies, there was a proliferation of caravan parks across the UK. Many of the better parks had washing and toilet facilities, a club room for kids and one for the adults with evening entertainment, almost every caravan park also had its own shop.

In the early days caravans were extremely cramped and daytime seating arrangements turned into sleeping quarters at night. Most modern static caravan parks now have two and three bedroom caravans complete with their own toilet and shower facilities.

You will find caravan parks in every UK holiday destination such as Cornwall, Bournemouth and Skegness, as they are again, growing in popularity.
