If you are hoping to have a holiday this summer but are on a tight budget you might be considering some cheaper holiday options in the UK. There are plenty of options to suit all budgets from camping to glamping, caravan holidays or even renting an Airbnb – you’re guaranteed to find something for your family.

Here are just a few UK travel ideas for this summer:

Camping

Camping is a rite of passage for children. Love it or hate it, it is a very budget friendly was of having a little break in nature. There are family-friendly campsites throughout the British isles, some are by the sea, by woodland, on farms and in beautiful meadows. If you already having a tent and all of your camping gear, renting a grass pitch is a very cheap option.

Motor homes

If you are lucky enough to own a camper or a caravan there are so many options for you. You could take it to a festival, take a road trip or even head across to Europe. Alternatively, there are plenty of holiday parks where you can stay in static caravans in some beautiful parts of the country. Lots of families choose to buy a caravan and rent it out when they are not staying there which is a great source of extra income, if you need static caravan insurance you can compare quotes with The Caravan Insurer.

Glamping

If camping seems like too much hassle, glamping could be just what you are looking for. You’ll have all of the benefits of being in the great outdoors without having to out a tent up and cart loads of equipment around. Glamping has so many options of accommodation and locations from fully furnished bell tents or tipis, to treehouses with hot tubs or cosy little cabins. It is more expensive than camping but you have the benefit of not having to erect a tent.

Airbnb

Renting an Airbnb property has become a very popular way to travel. People rent out their homes, outdoor spaces, quirky beach front cabins and places in great locations for sightseeing. Airbnb is often very budget friendly compared with staying at a holiday park or in a hotel.

Family holiday parks

If you keep an eye on certain newspapers, they often have great deals for budget family breaks in the UK. Holiday parks such as Haven or Butlins are great places for kids with plenty of entertainment during the day including water parks, fairground rides and sports and cabarets and discos in the evening.

Boating holidays

Fancy cruising along a canal or river? You could rent a boat for a different sort of holiday. You can rent traditional style narrow boats which you can captain yourselves or if that sounds a bit too stressful then stay on a static boat that is docked on a river.
