Yeah I certainly can't blame people for staying in the UK. UK caravan holidays are becoming more and more popular with time. Maybe its partly due to the latest credit crunch, making holidays at home much cheaper than travelling abroad. So if you are budgeted its a fantastic way to holiday.
Me and my family go to a caravan park every summertime and love it. This year we went to the one in Combe Haven and really enjoyed every minute of it, and highly recommend it.
