The Camping and Caravanning Club is hoping to show its appreciation for the UK’s servicemen and women by offering them free camping this summer.

The club’s site on the Isle of Skye is enabling armed forces personnel to use its pitches free of charge on Saturday June 25th on behalf of Help for Heroes.

It will also be holding a season-long raffle to raise money for the charity.

The offer applies to all serving members who are able to provide identification on arrival. Additional campers must pay full site fees.

Skye club site franchisees David Weller and Nicky Sellier said: “It’s a pleasure for us to be able to help those men and women that continue to do such a sterling job for our country.

“We hope all campers will show their encouragement and support for what is such a worthy cause.”

The Skye site is located on the shore of Loch Greshornish and opens on April 1st for the 2011 season.
