With the recession biting for many of us, the great British camping holiday is set to make a real comeback this summer. If you haven’t already booked your summer break, The Time’s Online’s 50 Best UK Campsites list might come in handy.
The list includes a wide range of differen types of campsite, including family-friendly campsites, kid-free campsites, traditional campsites with pitches for tents, campsites featuring yurts and teepees, seaside campsites, more isolated places where you can camp, campsites which will appeal to food-lovers, and sites where the accommodation is a little more luxurious (such as La Rosa in North Yorkshire, where you can stay in a gyspy caravan).
With prices starting from as low as £4 per person per night, a camping holiday can be an extremely cheap holiday option, particularly as you can find some great deals on camping equipment if you shop around.
Do you agree with the Time Online’s choices? Are there any campsites that you would recommend?
