A lot of people focus on remote locations with picturesque views when they imagine going on a leisure vehicle holiday. However, we think more people should consider taking their leisure vehicle when visiting the more urban areas located on our glorious island.
London, Manchester and Birmingham may not be the first camping locations to come to mind, but there are a number of campgrounds near these cities, as well as near other cities across the UK, so it would be such a shame not to take your home on wheels with you on your next big city adventure.
Perks
Bringing your leisure vehicle with you on your urban travels can be so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel in the middle of the city. The great thing being that you can have all your own things with you, without having to fit it all in one suitcase, which you then have to drag around with you. You’ll also have access to all your own food, utensils and prep space, so there’s no need to rush to make it to the hotel breakfast in time. And lastly, retiring to a relaxing campsite after a bustling day out in the big city might be exactly what you need.
Staying at a campsite can also be more economical than staying in a hotel. Cities are expensive, especially when you think about food and entertainment cost, souvenirs and the occasional shopping trip. On top of that, you need to consider the cost of staying in a hotel too. As a result, camping offers a more affordable option.
London
Camping in London may not be the most obvious option, but there’s a good choice of permanent campsites within the M25 that has all the facilities you require. Not only are they easy to get to, but they also give you the freedom to travel around while there.
