Why go caravanning?

Caravanning is increasingly the holiday of choice for a wide range of people. What makes caravanning holidays appealing to so many?

Freedom

There are so many wonderful holiday destinations, both in the UK and abroad, that it can be quite a challenge to pick just one. But why should you? Pick one for this month and another for the next. You can go where you want and when you want, just don't forget to book the caravan site in advance.

Cheaper holidays

Once you've invested in your caravan, you'll be able to enjoy holidays at relatively low cost. Pitches on caravan sites are a fraction of the price of hotels or B&B's - with first rate amenities and a standard of accommodation that's as good as you take with you.

You're not just limited to the UK, you can take your caravan as far as you are comfortable travelling. There are countless first rate caravanning locations throughout Europe - if you need advice on taking your caravan overseas, check out our feature on caravanning abroad.

Meet new people

Whether it's in a caravan discussion forum on the Web, or at the caravan site itself, you are guaranteed to find a group of like minded people with whom to chat, share advice or just relax.

Caravan rallies can be a great way to meet people and get, or give, advice. These are organised by many different groups, ranging from a few friends to large caravan clubs and associations.

The great outdoors... in style

All of the fun of camping with all the comfort of your home. Caravanning allows you to get back to nature in some of the most beautiful and remote areas of the UK, without having to sleep on a cold floor. You'll also have your own 'amenities'...

Home from home

Caravanning allows you to take all your creature comforts on holiday with you, so you can be sure the bed will be comfy and you'll always know where everything is. Take a look at our rundown of the key accessories that will help you make your own essentials list.

With caravanning, you know before you go that you'll like the accommodation - so all you need to do is get on with enjoying the location and the company.
