British caravan enthusiasts may be sad to see the weather starting to change and the days getting shorter, but the Camping and Caravanning Club might have just the remedy.
The organisation’s Carefree Travel Service has launched two Carefree European Camping brochures designed to inspire readers to take a trip to the continent.
Family Summer European Camping 2012 will focus on campsites aimed at those with kids and looking for sunny, seaside, rural or Alpine destinations.
Meanwhile European Camping 2012 is geared towards adults, and focuses on beaches, countryside beauty spots and city destinations, as well as data relating to the Club’s CampingCard ACSI and European Escorted tours.
Those heading to the Netherlands, Germany or France might be especially keen to check out the 12 new campsites added to the books, which include spots in Brittany, Picardy, Rhine, Arnhem and Vosges.
“We are currently bucking the ‘staycation’ trend with European inclusive holiday bookings up by 25 per cent compared to this time last year and we expect to see this positive trend continue into the New Year,” explained Camping and Caravanning Club travel services director Richard Grimsdale.
This news comes after the Friendly Club recently revealed that all of its sites would be offering free mince pies and mulled wine to those spending Christmas Eve in a tent or caravan.
