The weather is mild, the scenery is colorful and with schools allowing 2 weeks off over the Easter holidays means you can spend quality time with loved ones. We’ve compiled our favourite Easter camping activities to keep your little ones entertained when camping at Easter.

Easter Egg Hunt

An Easter Egg hunt is a classic easter activity which had to make our list! Not only does it involve delicious chocolate eggs but you can get the whole family involved. Hide the eggs around your tent, caravan or even the campsite for your kids to find. If you have older kids consider hiding them in harder to see places keeping them entertained!

Easter Bunny Paw prints

Now we’ve all heard of Santa’s footprints at Christmas but have you considered making Easter bunny footprints for Easter? Create a template with card and sprinkle flour to create the foot shape just outside your tent or caravan. This will make your littles ones excited for Easter knowing they’ve been visited by the Easter bunny! (You could even add a letter from the bunny himself!)

Egg and Spoon Relay Race

Egg and spoon relays with chocolate prizes is a great way to keep family entertained on your easter camping trip. Enjoyed by all, an egg and spoon race can get very competitive (not just with the kids) but all the family and burn off some of their energy too!

Painting egg shells

Easter isn’t just about chocolate eggs, Christians believe eggs are symbolic of Jesus’ resurrection and eggs celebrate new life. Painting eggs is a great camping activity for all the family. All you need is eggs, paints and brushes and this is a relaxing camping activity for Easter.

Easter Movie Night

Sit back, relax and enjoy a classic easter movie with your loved ones while camping this Easter. Popular children's movies such as Peter Rabbit or Hop can be enjoyed by everyone and will help them wind down after a chocolate filled day! Check out our Outwell movie screen here for endless entertainment options while camping or caravanning.

So that completes our Easter camping activitie’s blog post. Whatever you get up to this Easter we hope you have been inspired to try our Easter camping activities - fun for all the family!

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 spring time 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 will increase footfall on your camping and caravan site but you’ll find it will be a lot 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 definitely a top reason to camp in spring time. 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 your interested in wild life then check out Country File's Spring watch.

There are also less 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 like we do then embrace camping and caravanning in April to the sound of wildlifes 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 on the backseat. Don’t let April showers put you off holidaying in springtime. We also experience glorious sunshine in April and the mild temperature means we can enjoy many activities like hiking, wild swimming, horse riding, birdwatching and nature trails without it being too hot or cold.

 

Affordable

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

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!

This blog covers our 3 simple tips to extend the lifespan of your Isabella awning so you can enjoy endless adventures with your Isabella. 

Tip One - Wash your awning frequently

Lots of problems can occur with leaking awnings and this usually comes down to people not maintaining their awning correctly. You should clean your awning frequently. Bugs, bird excrement and pollen all settle on the canvas degrading the fabric. This reduced the life-span of your awning if not kept clean. 

If you're planning to spend time near the sea then keeping your awning clean is important. This will stop build up of sea water salts. The salt in the wind binds moisture in the air breaking down the awning fabric. Not washing your Isabella awning regularly when holidaying near the beach will reduce the lifespan of your awning. 

Tip Two - No Aerosols inside your awning

The use of aerosoles inside your awning will reduce the lifespan of your Isabella awning. Switch to roll on deodorant, cream mosquito repellent and use hairspray outside of the realm of your awning to protect the canvas and its make up. 

Tip Three - Prevent creases on your window films

Isabella’s window films need to remain transparent but also pack away easily when you're on the move. There is no way to prevent window creasing completely but taking care when packing your awning away will definitely reduce your window film getting wounded. 

If your awning has been stored away for a long period consider taking the window panels out and hanging above a radiator to minimize creases and folds before use. If you have an awning with a reversible curtain feature make sure the small curtain holders are removed before packing to prevent damage.

We hope you have found our 3 tips to make your Isabella awning last longer useful.  If you would like anymore advice or help with your Isabella awning do speak to our experts in store or via email - camping@attwoolls.co.uk we are more than happy to help.

Do not worry, we are camping experts and here to help you find the perfect tent. We would recommend that the best place to start is to understand what you are looking for. Thinking about and answering these questions will help determine the best tent for you. 

Group size - How many people are sleeping in my tent?

How many people are sleeping in my tent is an excellent starting point when finding the right tent for you. Tents can range from sleeping 1 person to even 14 people depending on what you're looking for. You need to know how many people to cater for when camping to know if your tent is a suitable size for your needs.

Weight - Do you need to be able to carry your tent?

Often campers get amazed by top tent features and forget they may need to carry the tent from a car park to their pitch. Tents can be heavy and it's important to check the weight prior to buying a new tent. If you're a backpacker you will need to consider the weight of the tent as it will likely be on your back. Nobody wants a bad back from a poor choice so do your research and check the weight of your tent!

Season - What time of year and where are you camping?

Of course summer is the most popular time of the year to enjoy the great outdoors and go camping in the UK. If you're brave enough to face the winter months camping you will need to consider if your tent can withstand harsh winds and lots of rain. Choosing a better quality and sturdy tent will improve your camping experience. If you are thinking of camping overseas there are also options of different tent fabrics that might be better suited to warmer climates.

Experience level - Are you a camping newcomer or veteran?

Depending on your experience camping you may opt for a lower spec tent when trialling if camping is for you. Tents can be expensive and this is usually reflected in the technical features they include. If you're new to camping then you will also need to consider pitching your tent and putting away. This can be difficult (even for experienced campers)  if you don’t know what you're doing, or purchase a tent which is unsuitable for your needs.

Usage - What are you using it for?

Establishing your tent's purpose is an important factor when choosing the right tent for you. Are you a family looking to sleep, relax and socialise in your tent? Or are you more of an explorer, using your tent solely for sleeping? Whatever your usage we have a great range of tents in store and online to suit your needs.

Budget - How much would you like to spend on a Tent?

Now let's get down to the nitty gritty! The budget for your tent is one of the most critical factors when thinking about buying. If you're thinking of camping for years to come then consider your tent as an investment. Size, fabric, brand and features will all affect the price you pay for the tent and you want something that will be reliable for future camping trips. Whatever your budget there is something for everyone.

So that completes our guide on questions to ask when buying a new tent. Buying a high cost item can be daunting but our camping experts are here to help and make your Attwoolls experience enjoyable. Pop into the store to view our tent displays and chat to the experts or shop online here.

Whether you're a seasonal camper or a beginner, everyone is feeling how the cost of living has affected us all this year. This blog overs our Attwoolls guide on budget camping.

Location

Where you chose to holiday this year is an important factor when trying to save the pounds. More tourist-y destinations are popular for a reason and will increase the price of your pitch. Consider opting for a less tourist packed destination. You’ll see a huge decrease in the price for your pitch. Often campsites situated in less known towns are rich with free activities like hiking, natural trails and wild swimming spots that don’t cost you a penny!

You don’t need to travel far for a change of scenery! Budget camping is all about the research. Search for campsites within an hour of your home address. You can find budget friendly campsites on social media recommended by other, likeminded travellers. Search for campsites in your area online looking at facilities and location. Often nearby locations are overlooked when you can have a great holiday no matter where you are!

Time of year

Camping on a budget requires plenty of research. Choosing to camp in the off season will considerably lower the rate of your holiday pitch. Let's be honest the UK weather is very interchangeable and we can never guarantee great weather even in summer. Pack your raincoats and focus on making memories with your family!

Essentials only

We’ve all been there with a car rammed with camping equipment, some essential and some luxury items. Did you really need that extra pillow? One way to ensure your camping trip will be budget friendly is only buying the essentials. If you're a beginner camper it can be overwhelming with the sheer range of camping products we stock. Chat to our Attwoolls experts about the essential items for your next budget friendly camping trip, so you don’t get carried away!

Invest in quality Camping equipment

Camping can be seen as an investment and something your family can enjoy year after year. Therefore investing in quality camping equipment means you won’t need to buy new items each time you decide to go away. It may seem like a large expense with the average family tent costing over £1000 today but it paves the way for future camping trips. If you're choosing to invest in expensive camping equipment make sure you look after it! Keeping your tent clean, packed away neatly and in a dry location will ensure endless camping trips in the future.

Entertainment

Entertaining the family doesn’t need to be difficult with our budget friendly camping activities. Many camping destinations offer free entertainment like bike hire and enjoying the great outdoors. Hiking, walking, wild swimming or nature trails are in abundance in the UK and can be enjoyed no matter what the weather. 

Camping activities don’t need to be complicated, sometimes the little things like telling stories round the fire, painting beach pebbles, playing cards until midnight. Why not make a fun quiz for the whole family on a rainy camping night. 

Bring your own food

Another way to reduce the cost of your camping trip is to bring your own food. Prepare meals before you go to minimise spending those extra pennies on missing shopping items. Often families arrive at campsites and the nearest supermarket is not very budget friendly. Bring everything you need for your camping trip and prepare any food that you can easily cook when you need it. For example, fancy some pancakes for breakfast? Prepare your pancake mix and put it into a bottle ready to pour into the pan for that morning. Planning meals ahead of your camping trip avoids last minute shopping trips and going over your weekly camping budget. 

So that completes our Attwoolls guide to camping on a budget. We hope you have been reassured that camping can be just as fun without all the luxury items and a little planning and research can really elevate your budget friendly holiday.

With over 65 years of camping experience here at Attwoolls we like to think we know a thing or two about camping. Find out our tips for camping on a budget.

Designating time to be outside has lots of health benefits including reducing stress, reconnecting with nature and prompting physical and mental well-being. 

As a leading outdoor company in the UK, we can all agree being outside is a great way to challenge yourself and have fun, read on to discover some of our recommended activities to make the most of the outdoors in 2024. 

Walking and Hiking

We all have to start somewhere and walking and hiking is a great option for all ages and abilities. If you are an outdoors novice then starting small can build confidence to take on bigger walking challenges across the UK. This could be taking a leisurely walk around your local park or pushing yourself on the 3 peaks challenge. Walking and hiking is a fantastic way to keep fit with minimal effort and making the most of the UK’s outstanding areas of natural beauty.

Wild Swimming and Outdoor Pools

Wild swimming has gained momentum in recent years with clubs up and down the country offering a chance to wild water swim. Not only is it a chance to meet other like-minded people but wild water swimming has amazing health benefits including strengthening body muscles, building stamina, improving circulation and boosting your immune system! If you're not ready for wild water swimming this year then consider a local outdoor swim. Check your local noticeboard for more information in your area, you’ll be surprised how many people take the plunge no matter what the weather!

Cycling and Mountain Biking

Looking for a fast paced activity in 2024? Mountain biking will certainly get your heart racing and a great opportunity to get your mates together. There are several mountain biking courses across the UK for a weekend activity or new part time hobby. If you're looking for a more leisurely activity then cycling on your own or with loved ones is a fun option. If you don’t own a bike then don’t worry - lots of towns and cities have e-bikes and bicycles you can hire for a few quid an hour.

Geocaching

With millions of users all over the world, Geocaching is a fun, simple sport everyone can take part in! Geocaching is when people hide objects in plain sight so users can find them using GPS signals. The idea is the user records what they’ve found and then hides it again for the next user. We love this activity for camping trips - hours of fun for the family!

Fishing

If you're after a slow paced outdoor activity in 2024 then fishing is a fantastic option. It's relaxing, stress relieving and an easy way to get the whole family involved on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Bird Watching and Nature Trails

Getting close to nature is an excellent way to spend weekends in 2024 with your family and friends. There are plenty of nature trails across the UK and seeing animals and plants in their natural habitat is a must for children's education. We also recommend Bird watching as a way of enjoying the great outdoors this year. Anyone can take part, even in your back garden! The UK has over 600 species of birds to discover!

Photography

If you can’t live without your smart phone or camera then why not take up outdoor photography in 2024. The UK has some stunning locations from the sandy beaches of Cornwall to the mountainous landscapes in Snowdonia. Our country is bursting with photo opportunities so take up photography in 2024 and start exploring what our land has to offer.

So that completes our guide for activities you can take up in 2024 to make the most of the outdoors. Whether you're into hiking, biking or wild water swimming there is something for everyone! Check out our walking and hiking section of the website for all clothing and accessories you may need to start your 2024 outdoor adventure!

New year and new aspirations? We all have something we want to achieve in the following year and making the most of the great outdoors is a popular resolution.
