There’s something uniquely special about a caravan and camping holiday. We all have fond memories of roaming around a campsite as children, making friends, having adventures and enjoying the freedom it offers. It’s wonderful for adults, too – is there really a better way to enjoy a cup of tea than sitting outside in a camping chair with birdsong all around you? Camping is a great way to get out into the great outdoors to enjoy the summer sunshine - and if you’re not so lucky with the weather, you can always curl up in your cosy caravan and play cards, listening to the sound of the rain drumming on the roof. Here are our top picks for camping holidays this summer:
