Camping is a fantastic alternative to holidaying with friends and family. One reason is its health benefits. Being amongst flora and fauna can help decrease stress levels and provides you with an opportunity to get some good, wholesome exercise - think hiking and fishing, not to mention outing up those tents!
It is also reasonably economical. If you have all the right gear – tents, sleeping bags, flashlights, etc – you can stay at campsites from as little as 8 GBP per night. Or, if you want to stay in a caravan holiday home, you are looking at a starting point of 150 GBP per week. See what campsite options are located around England.
If you want to venture outside the UK then consider France for your camping weekend option. Camping France website has loads of details about camping in these regions as well as other parts of the country.
And camping needn’t involve simply sitting around a fire toasting marshmallows and singing songs! There are also camping grounds around France that have extra facilities: camps with mini clubs for children, camps with water parks and even camps with entertainment options.
