Camping holidays in the UK. If you have a camping website with pages related to the UK and would like it to featured here then please mail camp@campingmobilehomesholidays.co.uk

There are a great many proper camping sites in the UK, and by "proper" I mean properly designated sites with toilet and shower blocks which will cost each of you very little per night, as opposed to giving a local farmer a a couple of pounds to pitch up in one of his fields.

Please don't think that I'm knocking farmers here because I'm certainly not, but a few years ago our daughter and some of friends did just that: agreed a cheapo deal with a farmer to camp in his field for two or three nights because it was a Bank Holiday and they had left it too late to book into a proper site anywhere. They were blissfully unaware that the field had been full of sheep until very recently, and never even thought about it when they began to itch and scratch later on in their break. The result was a visit to the Doctor for all the members of all three families when they returned because the girls had Scabies which they had picked up from sheep ticks in the grass. It was unpleasant for all concerned, believe me!

The point of all that is that for camping here in the UK you need to book your pitch on a proper campsite at busy times, absolutely not in just any old field, even if it's free and however nice it looks.

For cheap family camping holidays wherever they are you should really read "cheap camping or mobile home holidays", or search for homile home holidays alone as mobile homes are more often than not searched for under camping these days.

We in the UK seem to be in the forefront of the Tipi and Yurt camping holiday craze, ECO camping or Glamping as it is often called because of the luxurious accomodation which Yurts provide, and having stayed in a Yurt for a few days recently I can well agree with the Glamping tag which has been attached to it. Yurts sure are the bees knees when it comes down to tent camping and they are even warm in winter too, as they would be because the Mongolians used them in far, far colder climates than the UK many hundreds of years ago. Why not try a Yurt somewhere in the UK this year because it looks like the £ pound Sterling has some catching up to do before it will be cheap again in the EuroZone.
