If you’ve never camped in spring time before then read on to discover why we feel spring is one of the best times of year to holiday.

Dust off your camping chairs, grab your favourite book and embrace Spring camping in all its glory!

Less Busy

If you're used to camping in the busy summer holidays, then springtime camping will be bliss. Less noise and fewer campers on the site means you can sit back and relax and enjoy what camping is all about. The Easter break often falls in March and April, which are much less busy than the summer holiday months like July and August, so you can enjoy the campsite facilities with ease.

Scenery

April is bursting with beautiful scenery and is definitely a top reason to camp in the springtime. Whether you like bluebell-filled woodlands, endless meadow fields or simple beach scenes, then April is ideal for campers looking to enjoy the glorious scenery the UK has to offer. Picture this: you’ve stepped outside your camper to view blooming daffodils on a mild spring morning. Great way to start the day right?

Wildlife

Just like the scenery, the wildlife in April is also booming. Lambing season starts in early spring, and it's also a fantastic time to see birdlife across the UK. Green tits, swallows and robins, to name a few, all raise their offspring in April, so birdwatching is a must when camping in spring. If you're interested in wildlife, check out Countryfile's Springwatch.

There are also fewer flies and bugs around in the spring; unlike the summer months, you can enjoy camping near water and cooking alfresco without sheltering from the endless bugs and flies. No need to apply mosquito spray in April! If you love nature as we do, then embrace camping and caravanning in April to the sound of wildlife's chorus.

Weather

The weather in the UK is sometimes unpredictable, which is why, as a nation, we are always prepared with a brolly in the car or a raincoat in the back seat. Don’t let April showers put you off holidaying in springtime. We also experience glorious sunshine in April, and the mild temperatures mean we can enjoy many activities like hiking, wild swimming, horse riding, birdwatching, and nature trails without it being too hot or too cold.

Affordable

Holidaying in April is a great option for campers and caravanners looking for something more affordable. Often, campsites are just opening up for the season and offering reduced rates to get you back on the site. Fewer crowds mean you can enjoy the site facilities without queuing, and the April holidays can be just as fun for less!

A final note from us

We hope you have been inspired to head off camping or hit the road this April. It really is a fantastic time of the year to enjoy nature, mild weather and a range of outdoor activities. Reduced rates mean you can splash out on fun things to do with your family and enjoy the less-populated sites!
