Caravan owners and campers were out in their droves last weekend (June 4th) to celebrate the Big Pitch, the climax of the National Camping and Caravanning Week 2011.
The Camping and Caravanning Club reports that its Forest Holidays sites saw a 25 per cent increase in bookings, while the number of campers on site rose by 44 per cent.
Robert Louden, director general of the club, said: “There was a real buzz on site during the Big Pitch weekend with the weather certainly helping. There seems to be a real enthusiasm for wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.”
The week-long promotion comes after the Camping and Caravanning Club carried out a survey earlier this year, which proved that outdoor holidays do actually make you happier and more relaxed.
Caravan owners can also enjoy Forest Ranger activities, including nature walks and woodland excursions, when staying at any of Forest Holidays’ 20 sites across the UK.
