The Office for National Statistics show that a total of 5.43 million camping trips were made last year, an increase of 29% on the year before, and is proving to be one of the most popular British holidays, and for the first time overtaking bed and breakfasts.

Camping holidays seem to be a popular option for the environment and the budget conscious holidaymaker.  Families taking a camping holiday enjoy the get back to nature experience, and it also proves to be a ‘bonding' for families on the annual get-a-way.

Camping holidays tick all the boxes and are inherently sociable. Furthermore large department stores in the UK have seen a huge turnover in terms of camping equipment which has showed a massive increase, even to the extent of appearing on wedding gift lists.

Camping is the oldest way of staying somewhere, after cave-dwelling, way back in time. Camping has always been enjoyed over the years and in some way put us in touch with our primitive past, there is little doubt camping brings us much closer to nature, feeling the weather and smells of nature.

Camping holidays are a great way of removing stress and many think this is the ideal break for the whole family, a great way to recharge the batteries, and the benefits for the children are huge, away from television and their gaming console, introducing them to the countryside and animals, can only be good for them.

Many people will take a camping holiday because it is not so hard on their pockets as compared to a holiday abroad, it offers the chance to explore places right on our own doorsteps that have not been considered before. Camping opens up all manner of new horizons and it is possible to spend year after year camping and not see all of the many campsites the UK has to offer.

A popular tourist destination in England is Devon and camping in Devon offers gorgeous beaches, seaside resorts, rolling countryside, endless attractions and activities all of which ensure a holiday in this area is worthwhile for all the family.

With several accommodation options available campsites in Devon are proving the number one option, and of course camping is the best way to explore the area, also camping gives one the sense of freedom, with your own itinerary, no restrictions of meal times and house rules in a bed and breakfast facility.

A spokesman for Wooda Farm Holiday Park in Bude Cornwall said "our holiday park is in North Cornwall just on the border with Devon, we are proud of the facilities we offer our guests, the campsite has a modern toilet and shower blocks, all with free hot water, showers and hairdryers, we also cater for the disabled offering facilities for them in the toilet block".  He went on to say, "our pitches are level, and very generous in size, with electrical hook-ups, also individually screened hard standing for touring caravans and motor homes, location wise our caravan and camping park is ideal for your touring holiday".

Camping was once deemed an uncomfortable way of spending a few days away but not any more. It has proved it is a popular British holiday and with campsites offering so much, is it any wonder?
