Are Caravan Holidays Popular Again?

amomentwithfranca · 29 January 2021 · 22 Comments

The travel industry has been turned upside down by the pandemic and it is clear that things will not be returning to normal anytime soon. Interestingly, the pandemic has led to a boom in caravan holidays with many people opting for this type of vacation in the summer of 2020 and it looks set to continue once lock-down has ended and restrictions are lifted (not to mention the impact of Brexit).

Staycations

Of course, one of the main reasons for this is that international travel has either been banned or heavily restricted which means that people have had to turn to staycations as a result. Many people found that these could actually be highly enjoyable and that there were many great places all over the UK, plus they are much more affordable and easier to plan than international travel so this could be a continued trend.

Caravan Holidays

There are many different types of staycation holidays that people could opt for, but it seems that caravan holidays were the preferred choice which makes sense when you look at what they can provide and the current situation. Caravan holidays can provide privacy and the ability to easily socially distance from others, plus caravan parks can be good fun and are usually found in beautiful parts of the UK which are perfect for exploring.

People Buying Caravans

Caravan holidays have proved to be so popular that many people are even looking to buy their own static caravans from places like Park Holidays. This is understandable as it gives people a place that is their own that they can easily visit at any time in the year. On top of this, the impact of the pandemic and Brexit are likely to affect travel for a while to come so many people will be looking to staycations as opposed to international travel.

Geoff Barnes, marketing director for Park Holidays, commented on the current situation:

“We are staggered by the level of interest in people keen to buy their very own holiday home. We believe the combination of health risks, the expense and hassle of overseas travel and uncertainty around Brexit has highlighted the appeal of caravan and lodge ownership at a holiday park. Being able to jump in your car and be on holiday in an hour or two whenever you choose is very appealing to people.”

It makes a lot of sense that caravan holidays are proving to be so popular in light of the pandemic and this could be a continued trend when you consider the many benefits that this type of vacation can bring.

Would you consider buying your own holiday home too?

    Very interesting, love caravan holidays and all they have to offer. Have looked seriously into buying, but decided it was better for us to rent as and when it suited us.

    We have had some great holidays in caravans with our grown up children and their families. They are practical with little ones, affordable and great fun. We have separate caravans for each family but meet up for meals and excursions, it works well.

    COVID is changing how we view everything! If it’s your own caravan, you reduce risk of infection greatly, I imagine.

    When I was a girl I remember travelling with my parents to Caravan holidays to Eurocamp in the Netherlands. That was a lovely and active time during holidays that I will always have in my heart!

    A friend of mine did this with her kids before covid and they had a pretty good time. I think it depends on the location too. It’s a step up from the camping we usually do! cheers #KCACOLS

    We loved caravan holidays even before Covid- I do always take my own cleaning products though and give it a wipe down as my daughter once had a terrible sickness and ended up in hospital overnight whilst we were on a caravan holiday- We think it was food poisoning rather than to do with the caravan itself but it’s stuck in my mind. We’re hopefully going away in March (postponed from last year) but we shall see!

    We’ve had a few caravan holidays and always loved them. I think I’d prefer to rent a caravan so I could travel around and visit a variety of locations. If I was going to buy a caravan, I think I’d choose the New Forest as I do love it there! #KCACOLS

    We love taking a caravan park holiday every year as well as our annual holiday abroad. It’s nice to discover places in the UK too so I’m all for a good staycation x #KCACOLS

    If we had the money I would love a caravan at a holiday park. With two small kids caravan holidays are ideal for us all we want is access to a pool and a beach and our holiday would be amazing. #KCACOLS

    If we had the finances for it, buying a caravan might be of interest to us. We lived in a caravan for a while, and it wasn’t too bad a life (though I woulnd’t have liked it to go on for much longer than it did). It can definitely be a great way to holiday. However, there are many places in the UK that we would like to explore, so for now it makes more sense for us to rent than to buy x #KCACOLS

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers.

✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
