Camping, Caravans and Holiday Parks

Bedfordshire is full of beautiful rural retreats and one great way of getting closer to the countryside is by heading off on a camping holiday.

Camping and Caravanning holidays are ideal ways to enjoy the sights and sounds of the county, whilst also providing a flexible and fun way to spend a few days. For those that are looking for something with more facilities, onsite entertainment and great activities to keep the whole family amused, there are a wide range of holiday parks in the region to suit a variety of budgets.

A night or two under canvas is a right of passage for young families with children and they often provide a social opportunity in the public play areas. Besides, who doesn’t love waking up to the sound of bird song, the sun already peeking through the tent flaps and then enjoying your first cup of tea of the morning out in the wild, taking in the views surrounding you? Going on a camping holiday is a quintessentially British tradition and each campsite has its own charm, the one thing they all have in common is that they give you a chance to really switch off from the outside world and spend your time getting back to nature.

If you want a bit of both, with the natural surroundings, but a few more facilities, take a look at some of Bedfordshire’s caravan parks. These parks are often great value for money and are a flexible, family friendly option for anyone travelling with children. If you’re someone who is lucky enough to own your own caravan, there are sites that are happy for you to book a pitch and bring your own accommodation. Many parks are happy to accept tents and tourers if you would rather, but they all have a large variety of accommodation options, including chalets and lodges.

Generally speaking, caravan and holiday parks offer all the home comforts with the added outdoorsy feel. You’ll find fully equipped kitchens, TVs, comfy beds, separate bedrooms, hot showers and enough greenspace around your chosen property for a car and even a BBQ should you visit during the summer!

Holiday Parks are another great option for families. Holiday parks are hugely popular because they provide onsite entertainment and activities that you won’t find elsewhere. Most modern sites have everything from restaurants, bars, swimming pools, bowling and children’s play areas, as well as a select few offering facilities such as spas and WiFi.

It doesn’t matter what you want or where in Bedfordshire you are planning to stay, you’ll find the right site for you.

Each site will offer different facilities, from hard pitches to soft, some will have on site shops and children’s creche areas, while others will give you the chance to really get back to nature with a few more basics. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious campsite or somewhere on a budget where you can come and go as you please, you’ll find them all in Bedfordshire.

These accommodation options are also a great choice for anyone travelling with pets as you’ll find campsites, caravan parks and holiday parks will have dog friendly areas and accommodation. They are the perfect solution for anyone planning to do some exploring with their four legged friends while in the region.
