Why Camper Vans are a Great Option for a Holiday in the UK
2020 has been the year of the staycation due to the pandemic and many people have taken to camper van holidays and this is for good reason. Buying a camper van could be a fantastic investment and give you some unforgettable holidays, so read on to find out why they are skyrocketing in popularity right now.
On the Rise
While camper van sales are exploiting right now due to the pandemic, they have actually steadily been on the rise for a number of years now with over 2 million people taking holidays in camper vans or motorhomes every year and over 555,000 caravans in use in the UK. This is 2nd only to Germany, which has over 674,000 caravans in use.
Freedom & Flexibility
So, why are caravans proving to be so popular? Obviously, in 2020 people are restricted when it comes to holidays, but they have been on the rise in recent times largely due to the fact that they provide a great amount of freedom and flexibility. When you own a caravan, you can go on holiday to places all over the UK and explore the great natural beauty throughout.
Perfect for Families
Another reason that this type of holiday is popular is that it is perfect for families. You can spend quality time together, but as you will be spending a lot of time in campsites and the great outdoors, there is also the opportunity for space and distance which you cannot get when you go abroad as it would be unsafe for kids so there is a safety element too.
Money Saving
While there is the obvious cost of the caravan itself and it is essential that you have insurance in place, you will also find that you can make huge long-term savings on your holiday costs. Family holidays can cost a fortune every year, but when you have a caravan that you can take all over the UK it will make it much more affordable and you still have the option of visiting different places each time unlike with a holiday home.
As you can see, there is good reason why camper van holidays have been on the rise for the last few years and particularly now in 2020. A caravan is an excellent investment to make and one which will give you great freedom and flexibility with your holidays and allow you to see the great beauty on offer throughout the UK, plus you can also make savings long-term.
