Easy camping tips

September 19th, 2011 Tushar Mathur

When looking for an affordable holiday there really is no better way to do it than camping and caravanning. Whether you’re holidaying with friends, as a couple or as a family you’ll be amazed at how cheap it can be without needing to compromise on any luxuries. Here are some top tips for making your camping or caravanning experience go smoothly.

Buying your ‘accommodation’ – Buying a tent or caravan can be a little stressful due to the huge number of choices available but don’t worry, just take your time and do a little research once you know what type of thing you’re looking for. If you want to save money when buying a caravan you should look for used caravan sales, there are plenty of companies and websites out there who specialise in this kind of thing and who can take you through the whole process. Check out Park Resorts.com who deal with used caravan sales as well as having many different campsites across the UK. If you’re buying a tent then your budget will obviously be much smaller and you can benefit from an even larger selection. If you’re travelling as a party of four then a budget of around £100 can get you a really nice tent, or if you want a bit more living space then push your budget up a bit to accommodate this.

Choosing where to go – Where you go will depend largely on what kind of activities you wish to enjoy when you’re away. Some sites have swimming pools, bars and even whole water parks for guests to enjoy whilst others are quiet and more understated. Be sure to check exactly what the site is like before you book to ensure you don’t end up booking a busy resort when you wanted a quiet one! The Isle of Wight is a popular destination and is easily reached by ferry from the mainland. The tiny island becomes busier during the summer months, especially during festival season when the Isle of Wight festival is in full flow.

Choosing when to go – As with any type of holiday you can make a compromise on business and weather. If you’re willing to travel out of season, especially if you avoid the school holidays, then the sites will be much quieter and less hectic. However, travelling out of season, especially in the UK, means you can’t guarantee the warmer weather you might expect through July and August, so it’s up to you really.
