A Little Insight Into British Camping

With the recession situation in the world economics, many Britons are opting for cheaper holiday variants. That’s why camping is facing the inevitable increase this year.


The most favorable places for camping include Dorset, Cornwall and Devon in South-West, as well as Lakes District in North-West England.


More and more people are choosing wild camping as a way to spend their holidays with minimal expenditures. But one should be very judicious, when pitching their tents, as it can result in unwanted consequences from the landlords. Wild campers should better embark to trip to Scotland, as this way of camping is acceptable their, while it’s strictly prohibited in England and Wales. There is still a number of rules that one should follow, for instance to keep the site clean after leaving it, follow the toilet etiquette, as well as never leave any waste.


Most people prefer campsites to wild camping though, because of the running water supply and other facilities like showers, shops and many more.
No matter whatever you opt for the wild camping or campsites, you’ll obtain unforgettable memories to look back on afterwards.

The Scots Prefer Native Soil for Family Vocation to Foreign Countries This Season.

The industry is gearing up for a bumper summer as Scots opt for weekend breaks on home soil.
As the result of weak pound force many of Scottish families decided to switch to having breaks in their motherland rather than visiting exotic resorts. This has resulted in Scottish tourism revenue 10 % rise.

Caledonia is becoming the tourism hot place this summer, due to many people opting to stay at homeland to save some extra money. No wonder that most caravan parks and self catering facilities are already booked.

The weather forecast for the summer encourages Scots to spend the holidays at home. The summer is predicted to be warm and with the average temperature of about 16C.

So, everyone who is still thinking about how and where to spend the coming summer holidays, have an extra idea for that ;)

While Travelling to UK Try Keeping Costs Down

onsider alternatives to Devon and Cornwall. Holidaylettings.co.uk provides owners with guidance on average rental rates for properties in various parts of the country. For a two-bedroom property in August, rates in the West Country are by far the costliest of any of the major UK holiday areas - more than 20 per cent higher than Pembrokeshire (which has beaches that are just as good), 30 per cent more than Yorkshire and 40 per cent dearer than the Scottish Highlands.

• Want the West Country for less? Head for inland North Devon, which is less gentrified than the south of the county.
  
  
• Consider alternatives to the Lake District. Accommodation is cheaper in less popular national parks. You can find characterful two-bedroom cottages for a week in August in the Brecon Beacons for less than ?400 - in the Lake District, they cost more than ?500.
  

• Turn to regional agencies. As a rule, their rental rates are lower than those charged by the big national agencies.

• Or book direct. All agencies take sizeable commission fees from owners, which can bump up rental prices. Bear in mind, however, that booking direct is riskier - good agencies are selective about what accommodation they take on and carry out regular inspections.

• Compare prices for different weeks. It's not just that rentals during school-term time are much cheaper - some school holiday weeks cost less than other school holiday weeks.
  
  For example, some agencies and owners charge a little less for the last week in August than for other August weeks, and May half-term rentals can cost 25 per cent less than August ones. (I found plenty of availability over half term with many of the agencies I've recommended above.)
  

Check the late-availability sections you'll find on agencies' websites. Rates for last-minute bookings are often discounted, typically by ten to 25 per cent.

British breaks

The signs are that more of us are going to stay in the UK for our holidays this summer than in previous years. The reasons are clear. Once you've factored in travel costs, domestic breaks generally work out cheaper than foreign ones - and that is very appealing in these financially challenging times. Also, the unfavourable pound-to-euro exchange rate is deterring some people from heading to continental favourites such as Spain, France, Italy and Greece. A further enticement to keep to home soil comes from the Met Office. It recently predicted that the UK is set to enjoy a drier and warmer summer this year than in 2007 and 2008 - ideal for getting out the barbecue. So, it's hardly surprising to hear that big UK self-catering agencies such as the Holiday Cottages Group and Hoseasons are trumpeting significant increases in bookings.

Holidaylettings.co.uk, another major player, says that enquiries for rentals of English properties featured on its website have more than doubled this year. If you're planning on booking a cottage in the peak summer weeks but haven't got round to it, I'd recommend you get on with it. However, there is no need to panic. Earlier this week, I did a website trawl to see what was still available for the school summer holiday weeks for a property sleeping four in prime holiday regions - and the short answer is quite a lot. On www.cottages4you.co.uk - the main website for the Holiday Cottages Group - I found 85 possible rentals in Cornwall for the first week in August.
