2009 was the year of the ‘staycation’ with record numbers of cash-strapped Britons tightening their belts and opting to enjoy the beautiful British countryside instead of heading abroad. Camping and caravanning became the order of the summer. As a result, camping holidays are no longer something to be pitied and the days of the British caravan holiday representing all that is twee, parochial and unsophisticated are over. Camping and caravanning have become not merely socially acceptable holiday options but extremely desirable. With signs that the popularity of ‘glamping’ and cool caravanning will not diminish in 2010, Caroline Mill’s new book offers up some stunning spots to help you follow the fad.
Cool Caravanning seeks to redress the balance and return to the reasons for why we go camping – location, location, location. Revealing England’s most beautiful caravan site locations, Cool Caravanning presents a hand-picked selection of 54 great places to stay. Whether you’re looking for great views, children-friendly spots, a beach holiday, a walking break, an action adventure or just somewhere to relax, Cool Caravanning has something for everyone, from the old hands to the first-timers. Featuring both places where you can bring your own caravan and sites with static caravans for rent, this stylish book, packed with great ideas, means that you’ll never look at caravanning in the same way again.
