This year, National Camping and Caravanning Week has been rebranded as ‘The Stay Home National Camping and Caravanning Week’,

• It will run from Monday 25 May 25 to Sunday 31 May, and Camping and Caravanning Club President, Julia Bradbury, will head up The Friendly Club Camp-out on Bank Holiday Monday (May 25) from her garden
• This year’s event is a virtual celebration aimed at encouraging people to find out more about camping, caravanning and motorhoming for future holidays

With the current restrictions on daily life still in place, Julia commented: “All of our holidays will look a little different in the future, and when we are allowed to explore a bit further, I think the UK is where we’re all going to feel comfortable for a while. The staycation is here to stay. This is the perfect opportunity to get in the mood and a chance to discover or re-discover the joys of camping. All week we’ll be offering tips, advice, and some virtual campfire comradery, with competitions and quizzes to keep everyone amused.”

Julia added: “We’re encouraging people to find out more about camping during the Stay Home National Camping and Caravanning Week. You can take part by camping in the garden, or even in the lounge, which is a great way to start if you’re new to the pastime.”
