The current credit crunch in the UK has made camping cool again.  According to figures released by Canvas Holidays, demand for camping has increased by 10-20% in the last six weeks. 

The figures reflect a survey commissioned by the same group that says 75% would now choose self-catering above any other board option when booking a holiday. 

The need for tranquillity and wide-open spaces also rated highly among those polled about their ideal getaway. 

Time after time, car hire has been found to be the best way to achieve a vacation that offers absolute freedom.
This summer, whether you choose campervan hire or would rather explore new territory by packing up a tent and taking to the open road with car hire France, car hire Spain or car hire Portugal, you’ll certainly find camping to be a cheaper and more enjoyable alternative to the usual package holidays.
