Camping and caravanning often go hand in hand, so keen caravanners might like to take part in a new initiative launched by the Camping and Caravanning Club.

The Big Pitch will take place on Saturday June 4th and will see families across the country get together to sleep under canvas.

Robert Louden, director general of the Camping and Caravanning Club, said he hopes the scheme will encourage more people to enjoy the great outdoors.

“Whether it’s in your garden or on one of the many campsites around the UK, get together with friends and family for a night under the stars and help put a smile on everyone’s faces,” he urged.

As part of the launch, the club is giving away 1,500 free nights at its camping and caravanning sites, including 500 at its Forest Holiday parks.

Both members and non-members can take part in the competition, which is open until May 6th. Winners will be issued with vouchers for selected sites and dates. For details of how to enter, click here.
