A number of great campsites have been announced by The Caravan Club for Scotland
The Caravan Club has shown out in force at the Scottish Caravan,Camping & Motorhome Show 2016 – and all for good reason.
With 30 sites across Scotland, ten of which offer tent camp pitches as well as caravan and motorhome pitches, to say The Caravan Club’s presence north of the border is quite prominent would be somewhat of an understatement and, it’s true to say, Scottish tent camping has grown in popularity over the last year, with Strathclyde, Brora, and Edinburgh Caravan Club Sites showing an increase in tent bookings.
There is no membership requirement for campers who want to pitch up at over 40 Caravan Club sites across the UK network, and bookings for tent camping are on sale now; prices start from £12.60 per night based on two adults.
Edinburgh Caravan Club Site is the most popular in the Scottish network, and offers up to ten tent pitches. This site is situated in a park-like setting surrounded by mature trees; there is a children’s play area and a fenced woodland area for dogs to play. The site is a stone’s throw away from the waterfront where campers can walk along the promenade of Cramond and, only a short drive away – visitors can enjoy the popular coastal suburb of Portobello with its pubs, restaurants and shops.
Strathclyde, near Glasgow, also boasts a children’s play area and beautiful parkland, while Brora Club Site is situated in the Highlands with pretty views of the surrounding countryside. The tent area is positioned next to the gate that leads to a beautiful, safe and sandy beach via public footpath and across the golf course.
Harvey Alexander, director of marketing at The Caravan Club said: “We’re glad to be adding to our ever-growing network of tent camping sites – it shows that The Caravan Club is about outdoor adventure in its many forms.”
Reviews on The Caravan Club’s online forum Club Together show that adding camping pitches to Caravan Club sites makes it easier for members to invite their friends and family along on their holidays, as our tent areas are accessible to everyone with no joining fee.
To see what else Harvey had to say, check out the video above. It’s certainly worth a watch.
