In 2020 the number of overseas visits by UK residents was the lowest it had ever been since 1985. The pandemic forced holiday goers to rethink their plans and look closer to home for their much-needed rest and relaxation.
With camping and caravanning holidays already on the up and many venues being fully booked months in advance, we’ve compiled the top benefits of using a caravan for your next holiday!
1. Less stress
We all know that feeling of booking the perfect holiday only to find you have to fork out additional fees on things like baggage, and earlier flight times. You rush to the airport making sure you’ve remembered to bring all the passports, paperwork, and children (!) Then when you arrive it’s sticking to the itinerary, dealing with the language barrier, and choosing the right places to eat where you won’t get price gouged.
When you choose a caravan holiday you get flexibility on when you want to check in with no passports or extra paperwork required.
2. Be amongst nature
Coombe Caravan offers the most beautiful views in all of Wiltshire. Visit nearby attractions like Stonehenge and The New Forest to get completely lost in nature and give your mental health a recharge.
Brian also plants over 7,500 bedding plants in the park each year to make it even more vibrant – perfect for when you want to while away the evening reclined on a chair, sipping wine and taking in the glorious display.
3. Greener
We are becoming increasingly aware of how our travelling habits can have an impact on the climate. By choosing to have your holiday in the UK, you’re massively reducing your carbon footprint that would otherwise be present when flying on a commercial plane which accounts for over 10% of all transport emissions.
In fact, saving on that one flight is the equivalent of 336 cars driving from Heathrow to Edinburgh, so you needn’t worry about the impact driving your caravan has for the environment!
4. Support your local business
There are so many benefits to supporting local businesses. For one, it has a positive impact within the community, creating a stronger bond between guests and local residents alike.
You also get the added benefit of the local knowledge on all the best spots to eat and lesser-known attractions to visit. Perfect if you’re in the mood for a spontaneous adventure without the fear of getting lost.
What’s more, over 90% of caravans sold in the UK were in fact built in the UK which means you’re not only supporting local businesses, but also supporting the British workforce as well
5. Much needed family time
Finally, and most importantly, you’ll benefit from enjoying quality family time with your loved ones. Coombe Caravan is dog-friendly, which means you can even bring your most beloved pooch with you instead of forking out even more money to have them holed up in a kennel.
The mental and physical benefits of bonding with your loved ones is plain to see and being within nature will elevate your mood, increase confidence, and create long-lasting memories that would otherwise be missed in the frenzy of a holiday abroad.
Whether you’ve just bought your first caravan and are itching to arrange your first UK holiday, or you’re a seasoned staycationer but haven’t visited Wiltshire or the Dorset coast, Coombe Caravan welcomes you to our park.
