Spring Motorhome and Caravan Travel – The Perfect Time to Getaway

Spring is just around the corner; finally the days are getting noticeably longer and the temperature is starting to creep up in the daytime. If you look around the daffodils and snowdrops are already starting to grow and it will not be long before the countryside is bursting into life, populated by budding flowers, baby animals and fledgling birds. Spring is a positive time of year, full of new life and new hope so it is definitely worth getting out into the countryside and absorbing some of the vitality of the spring awakening. Getting away in your caravan or motor home in the Spring uniquely positions you to observe this lovely time. There are loads of other advantages to getting away in springtime in your caravan too.

Bank Holidays

For a start most of our bank holidays take place in the Spring which means that you can take a long weekend break. Easter is early this year so the holidays are on, Good Friday, the 2^nd and, Easter Monday, the 5^th of April. The May bank holidays fall on the 3^rd and 31^st.

Great Value Caravan Pitches

Prices for prime caravan pitches in the Spring will be considerably less than in the summer high season. There will be premiums for the bank holidays but you will still be able to stay in some of the best places in the countryside for less than at other times.

Calm Caravan Travel and Caravan Rallies

Many sites are likely to be less full, if you are a caravanner that enjoys the calmer side of caravan travel then you may want to try out one of the busier sites without having to encounter hoards of other people. Alternatively lots of caravan rallies take place in the Spring. If you want to socialise with lots of people that also enjoy caravanning then you should consider attending one of these events. For example The Caravan Club traditionally holds it annual rally over the second May bank holiday.

Caravan Checks

Travelling a shorter distance for less time than your usual main caravan holiday will give you an opportunity to re familiarise yourself with your caravan. You will have the opportunity to check that everything is in perfect working order and it will remind you of any jobs that you may not have done at the end of last year.

So no excuses, get into your caravan or motorhome and spend some time in the Great British countryside this Spring!
