There’s lots of great benefits to getting your own caravan including taking some last-minute breaks whenever you are in the mood. Here’s just some of them…
Freedom to roam
Organising a road trip can be great fun especially when you’ve got a caravan on tow, even more so because you can stop off on the way to make a cuppa in any layby you choose. Trust me, this never gets old! And from a practical angle, if you’re needing the loo, you’ve got one on board and don’t need to risk the roadside public conveniences which are rarely convenient or clean. Especially those at petrol stations that require a special key to be collected from the counter. Arrived at a site and not sure about the vibe? Wind up the steadies and get gone. Love the campsite you’ve only booked for 2 nights? Extend it. Seriously, this is the good stuff. Taste the freedom!
Go with your friends
Family holidays are normally nice depending on what extended members actually go, but you know what they say, you can’t choose your family. On the good side, you can choose your friends but to gather a big group together and get a holiday home is costly and then there’s the worry of children waking up the neighbours with a 5am chorus of screaming. When you’re on a family-friendly site, you can commandeer your own area and set up camp, share meal prep and washing up. The latter is a favourite with children as you know. Some campsites will offer individual fields for group bookings and welcome tents, caravans and motorhomes.
Great value all round!
How much does it cost to stay in a swanky hotel? Is a breakfast included? No? Are you joking? In a world where hidden costs are par for the course, you’ll be pleasantly by surprised by just how good value it is to go caravanning!
Be in control
The sun is shining and you’ve had a bad week at work. It’s the weekend now and you’ve got time for a mini-break! If you’ve got a caravan, there’s no excuse to stay at home. No! You’ve got wheels and you’ve got style, time to hit the road. Off-peak season, there’s often no need to book sites ahead and if you want to dine out, there’s often a pub nearby for a celebratory weekend pint and a pie or even something fancier. Some campsites even have pubs on site – or rather the other way round. UK Campsite allows you to search for specific sites so if you want it.
Great for kids and animals
These days it’s becoming more difficult to let children be children. Caravanning certainly changes that. So many campsites are fully kitted-out for children that people have had to set up ‘adults-only’ sites which sounds far more exciting than it actually is. Expect adventure playgrounds, entertainment and cuddly toys. Lifesize ones. On a more serious note, many campsites now have entry and exit barriers that are code-protected reassuring for parents with adventurous tots.
