Kelly says short breaks can be more convenient for families.

“It’s easier. You can take a lot more with you when you stay in this country. There are so many pretty places out there in the UK.”

Nigel Dutton is the owner of Manor Wood Country Caravan Park. He’s noticed people are booking later to take advantage of good weather in the UK.

“Short breaks seem to be the name of the game at the moment,” he says.

“People can pre-pay, it’s all budgeted, so they know exactly what it’s going to cost them. I think we are seeing a revival of camping. It’s a nice way to get outdoors, get away from the stress without spending too much.”

That’s exactly what Chelsea and Adam Mahony from Manchester did. They booked an impromptu camping trip with their boys Gray and Rex.

“We decided last week that we couldn’t afford to go abroad this year so we bought a cheap tent online and thought let’s just try something closer to home,” says Chelsea.

“They’ve got some fresh air and room to run around. It doesn’t feel like home which is the main thing really.”
