More and more people these days and travelling to Great Britain’s beauty spots with beauty vouchers and with this present economic climate people are watching their budgets more than ever, and going abroad may not be as cheap as it was before.

But why travel so far when you have the great British countryside to embrace our holiday spirit. But what better way to explore the beautiful sites the UK has to offer than in a We have always had tourist hotspots for holiday makers from the beautiful Jurassic cliff of Dorset to the calm rolling hills of The Lake District, to the stunning landscapes forest of the New Forest staying in the UK has never been so much fun. But what better way to explore these beautiful sights than in a caravan.

Caravanning doesn’t have to mean 70’s style décor with a whole family squashed into one room. No caravanning these days means luxury accommodation with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their holiday. So frolic near a picture post card village surrounded by rolling wild more for less money, it really is easy when you just plan ahead making money informed decisions.

Just investigate the area before we book so you can make sure you can budget for the holiday, you want to make the most of your time there. Looking out for offers available, it’s always worth looking for last minute vouchers using sites such as LastMinute.com and Zapmeta, they can offer deals from around the country at great prices.

Trailer Tents

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:50:18 +0000

Simon, a new camper who has just started to enjoy the benefits of a camping holiday tells us his thoughts on trailer tents:

" My family and I decided that we would really like to get out of the city and have a proper country holiday. However, we were unable to afford the charges for a nice country inn for the two weeks we had reserved for our trip. Friends of ours had recently purchased a trailer tent for that very reason. We had not yet seen it, so we motored over to take a look.

It was the most useful trip I have ever taken! We were able to see first hand what the trailer tent offered. When we arrived, it was all folded up and held inside of a small, lightweight trailer that could be pulled by nearly any automobile.

As they pulled it out I saw how easy it was to erect and stabilise the unit. In no time at all it went from being inside the trailer to being ready to hold campers on holiday! The unit we looked at was one designed for four occupants. The berths were placed in the actual trailer area itself.

The other rooms of the tent were above the ground, rather than in the trailer, and included a sitting area, a bath and a kitchen which included a stove and cooler. The trailer tent was a self-contained holiday hideaway! I was sure that when they showed us how it was to fold it back up and stow it into place in the trailer compartment that it would not be as easy as it had been to set it up, but I was mistaken. Nearly as quickly as it had been to set up, it was put away. It was so impressive that I decided to go home and look up the various styles and sizes that were available.

I went online and searched for trailer tents and found everything I was looking for. There are styles and shapes enough to fit any preference and budget. The best thing about it is that now, instead of tossing away money at a local b&b or hotel, we can purchase a trailer tent and use it over and over again! "

Dome Tents

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:42:08 +0000

Dome tents are set up by placing fiberglass rods through holes on the outside of the tent. When these poles are bent into an arc, the result is the rising of the tent and the creation of a dome. Most have only two or three poles making set up very quick and easy. However, larger tents may have up to seven or eight poles making it more complicated and time consuming, but with a little practice, any one can master it.

Many times these larger tents have separate rooms sectioned off by fabric to create storage areas, or to give campers privacy.

Dome tents have many advantages over other types. The foremost advantage is the ease and speed of setting it up as mentioned before. Also, the flexibility that the fiberglass poles provide keeps it from falling apart in high winds or if something falls against it (which is known to happen to tents with aluminum poles.)

Almost all dome tents come with standard features like a built in tarp floor so there is no need to lay down anything but a sleeping bag. They also have a mesh canopy for better ventilation while still keeping the bugs out. And, in case of rain, they have a exterior cover (called a rain fly) to cover you up. Most have zippered pockets on the inseam to hold camping supplies.
Dome tents are by far the most convenient tent to own for going to the beach, a picnic, a concert, or the weekend getaway in the woods, they are easy to set up and break down and come in many sizes and configurations to accommodate most campers needs.

Tunnel Tents

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:49:40 +0000

Tunnel tents have a unique structure in which they use circular rings, or hoops to create the tunnel shape. Similar to dome tents, tunnel tents have no complicated framework to put together, therefore they are easy to assemble. Some tunnel tents are easily collapsible for convenient transport, while other types are more rigid and can be quite cumbersome.

Tunnel tents are highly efficient in bad weather, such as high winds and hard rains. The fabric is more durable than conventional tents. They also have more functional space inside the tent due to not having a vertical pole staked in the center of the tent to help keep it upright.

Tunnel tents aren't only used for camping expeditions. They can also be used for everyday child's play.

Tunnel tents that are specifically meant for play activities, are more lightweight and can come is various sizes and shapes. Tunnel tents used for outdoor camping tend to be heavier and sturdier to hold the weight of adults as well as being more durable for rainy weather. Tunnel tents come in many sizes. A small structure can hold one person, and a large structure can hold up to six people.

Whether used for a family camping trip or for children playing in a make believe castle, tunnel tents are very versatile. If you're looking for a tent for camping needs, but think it's not worth the investment because it won't be used often enough, then tunnel tents are a great option.

Frame Tents

The best frame tents will have several good features. Water resistance is a must, in order to stay dry in a sudden overnight rain storm. Tents are generally flame resistant or flame retardant to be safe and mildew resistant so that if you have to pack the tent up quickly and it has rained in the night or just has a heavy morning dew on it, it won't mildew.

Frame tents generally have ground anchors with rope tie downs in order to make sure that it is solid in wind or rain. Tents have windows and doors which can be opened in warm camping weather in order to get a nice breeze, but they may be zipped closed to stay warm in colder weather.

Many frame tents have a awning that is attached to the front by the front door. These are nice and versatile to obtain a sun shade without having to be inside the tent. The larger family tents may have several divided rooms within them which provide privacy and allow campers to enter or leave the tent while others are sleeping without disturbing them.

Some large frame tents will actually come in a kit with a wood burning camp stove which is approved for this particular tent and is very safe to use. On the coldest camping trips, this will allow you and family or friends to stay toasty while inside your tent.
