Camping in the UK has today been described by the British Resorts and Destinations Association (Brada) as a “great budget option”.

Brada have stated that camping is also a great option for the younger people in sociaty as it enables them to get out onto their bike with backpacks and taste freedom.

Director of Brada Peter Hampson said: “It’s equally a great budget option from the more organised family side, because once you’ve bought your tents and all the bits and pieces then it’s an investment that you’ve got.”

Barclays bank relase research last year indicated that seven per cent of UK residents are “active campers”. There is an average spend of £382 on equipment.

While the Camping and Caravanning Club also reported last year that the entire market of campers, motorhome and caravanners inject more than £2 billion into the UK economy per year.
