Whether you call it glamping, staycationing, or simply camping, there’s no arguing that outdoor holidays have had something of a resurgence in recent years.
It started off as a reaction to the recession, but with so many eye-catching designs and stylish models on the market, camping and caravanning has gone on to really capture the public’s imagination.
And there’s no place better to discover why this is than at the Caravan and Camping Show (18-23 February), which brings together the best and brightest of the UK industry and beyond.
This year’s show will have classic campervans, cute micro-caravans, innovative tents and even some truly colossal motorhomes.
What’s more, there are tonnes of stands promoting wonderful destinations to spark your wanderlust and sense of adventure.
In this video, we take a look at some of the key highlights to look forward to in 2014 and talk to some of the regulars who come from far and wide to see what’s on offer. Give it a try for yourself this year and who knows what you might discover…
