Good weather boosts caravan holiday numbers

The recent good weather has seen a surge in caravan bookings

The recent good weather seen across the UK has lead to an increase in the number of people planning a caravan holiday.

According to the Camping and Caravanning Club, bookings for pitches at its sites this weekend (May 28th to 30th) have risen by six per cent since Monday May 17th.

The most popular areas seem to be Scotland and Wales, which have seen a nine and eight per cent rise respectively.

“The weather over the weekend was quite incredible and our club sites were extremely busy with both campers and caravanners, who were keen to get out and explore and make the most of the soaring temperatures,” explained director-general Robert Louden.

He added that bookings for this weekend look promising and that he hopes the good weather will last.

Tomorrow (May 29th) marks the beginning of National Camping and Caravanning Week, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary.

Meanwhile, a new camping website, Campingninja, has been set up to help Brits book pitches online.
