International Camping on the Rise

Camping and caravanning continues to be a popular pastime at both home and abroad.


The Camping and Caravanning Club's Carefree Travel Service is currently bucking the staycation trend with European sales up nine per cent on this time last year.

The Club secured a favourable exchange rate on its currency for 2011 ensuring significant price reductions across all sites in the Euro-zone, enticing campers to warmer climates.

For 2011, the average cost for a family of four (two adults, two children) on a camping holiday abroad is just �396! The cost includes site fees, electricity and ferry crossings.

And the Club does not just offer summer camping holidays ? European winter sun breaks and rallies are also available and hugely popular with Club members.

Richard Grimsdale, the Club's Travel Services Director, is enthusiastic about the positive figures and said: "We are delighted that our Club members are still keen to travel abroad, despite these tough economic times.

"There's a general perception that travelling abroad is just too expensive but our prices and figures prove campers can ? and do - enjoy low cost holidays to European destinations all year round.

"We customise every holiday to meet our members' needs from booking ferries, campsites and insurance to a fully inclusive holiday at the best possible price.

"So whether you're looking for a last minute break or planning to escape the British winter and head for warmer climates, we have something for everyone.?
