Cheap Caravan Holidays & Motorhome Holidays - UK & Abroad

-->With the weakening Pound following the Brexit vote in the UK (among other factors), it is becoming significantly more costly to go abroad that it was this time last year. A trip to the US cost us an estimated 22% more in Nov 2016 than it would have done 6 months earlier for example, and this year the trend will be clearer as holiday makers book their holidays with the knowledge of the rates rather than booking pre-Brexit and then exchanging their cash after the vote at a much worse rate. This year, as seen during the 2008-2009 recession, we expect a large number of holiday makers to keep their wallets firmly in their pockets when it comes to overseas trips, and for demand in cheap holidays to spiral upwards. Back in the recession, our stats showed that searches online for the phrases "motorhomes" and "caravan parks" increased by about 450% each over 12 months pre and post recession, as Mr Joe Public shunned traditional foreign holiday destinations for cheaper, but equally cheerful breaks away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A huge range of UK and foreign caravan holidays can be found online, each company offering a slightly different take on the traditional concept. Many sites offer a variety of caravan types, from basic to luxury, which you can tow away to your destination of choice and simply return within a given date. This offers a great deal of freedom and excitement - you never quite know where you will end up. The same is true of motor homes, which are basically caravans with an engine, an all in one car and caravan essentially. Caravan and motorhome hire has really taken off, many of the most popular destinations in the UK include the national Parks and areas of natural beauty, including the Lake District, Snowdonia, The South Downs, the Dales and the Peak District. However there are no limits to where you can go. Many companies allow the caravan or motorhome to be taken abroad as well, allowing you to drive down to the South of France or right down to Italy or beyond.



Caravans and motorhomes offer a real sense of adventure that you rarely get on a traditional package holiday. You can visit some of the best holiday destinations in England and abroad in your own time, whether you are a family, a couple or simply on your own. Many caravan and motor home parks exist around England and Europe for you to take a break and socialise with other families or individuals. There are so many characteristics of a motorhome or caravan holiday that make it easy to see why we expect to see a big surge in this type of holiday over the next 12 months. So while we may see less people going abroad for their holidays, hopefully travel and tourism businesses in the UK should see a boost from this.

Non EU Holiday Destinations - Home or Abroad?

Recent statistics reveal that UK caravan holidays are surging in number as people are less willing to splash out on extravagant foreign holidays - people are returning to the classic British holiday culture of the 70's and 80's. Caravan sites and caravans themselves are also becoming better equipped, with better facilities. UK caravan holidays are therefore taking off - and as the economy continues to slump we can only predict that they will continue to grow in popularity. There are many great caravan sites across the UK as well so you are never far away from one, of course it is up to you whether you travel 20 miles for your holiday, or 200.

So it would appear from recent statistics that both holiday destinations outside the EU, which do not use the Euro, as well as domestic holidays such as caravanning, are soaring in popularity. Non EU holidays to places such as Turkey and Eastern Europe are cheaper as they do not use the Euro, which at present is very strong against the pound, causing expensive holidays.

At the same time cheap UK holidays are becoming the 1st choice for many tourists. Foreign European holiday destinations are losing out - places such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and France - places that were once alot cheaper than England but now are just as pricey, making it hard to justify spending hundreds of pounds more than a cheap and cheerful holiday at home.
