The number of holidaymakers staying in caravans in Kent next year is expected to rise.
Following the publication of figures from the Caravan Club, which showed bookings increased by 40 per cent in summer 2009, Kent Online has reported a rise in reservations for 2010.
Bearsted Caravan Club warden Sue Greenaway told the online resource that the Hollingbourne site had noticed a record number of new caravanners.
She said people have purchased either a new or secondhand model and are making the most of it when they can.
"At sites such as those run by the Caravan Club, there are good showers and loos, tidy sites," she claimed. "You have the freedom to just pitch up."
According to Park Holidays UK, advance bookings are up by more than 65 per cent year-on-year, thanks to a combination of the low value of the pound and the recession.
Aside from Kent's array of Blue Flag beaches, it boasts a range of gardens, castles and cathedrals just waiting to be explored.
