For me I started in 2011 purely down to money. We were going through a difficult time financially and camping was a way we could go away as a family. Also, because my husband and I both work we often take our holidays separately to cover the school holidays and camping has been a way I have been able to go away on my own with my children and visit different places and areas. My financial circumstances are much better now and we are going to Florida for 3 weeks this year so not camping much in 2014 as saving our pennies. I will continue to camp because I love the whole experience and freedom it brings.

I got a new waterproof coat at work this week. Standing outside in the rain reminded just how much I have missed camping!!

I love the smell on the camp site when people are cooking breakfast! I also love that we can go anywhere we like, pitch our tent which ever way round is best and just enjoy the simple things, oh and I can do my knitting! Lol

Been camping all my life, it was the only holiday I knew as a kid, going all over country to CC rallies, National Feast of Lanterns etc. Getting up at silly o clock to drive to Devon for 2 weeks holiday. Took my CC Youth test at 14 which allowed me to camp on my own without an adult. Nowadays I like my home comforts but love the feeling that camping brings, being outdoors , the smell of cooked breakfast, being warm & cosy if it's raining with fire & electric. Being around like minded people & just enjoying the chance to be away from home & visiting nearby area. It's quite simply in my blood!!

I regularly camped when my kids were small but stopped in the early eighties when my first wife and I divorced. In 2008 I was diagnosed with cancer which I don't mind saying was a bit of a shock. At that time I sat down and wrote two lists. List one was the things I did not want to continue doing and I would never do again (won't bore you with it)and list two was the things I wanted to do and or start doing. On list two, to my genuine surprise and the current Mrs Bert's horror, was camping. We picked up an old Relum Canaria 4 for thirty quid and after a quick weekend away at Sandingham (15 minutes from home so she could bail out at a moments notice!) we went down to the French/Spanish border near Perignan. It was bliss, probably the best holiday we had ever had to that point. Mrs Bert does need her creature comforts it has to be said but six years on we are still camping two or three times each year and enjoying every minute -rain or shine-
Cheers,
Bert

In a word: FREEDOM.
No other type of holiday gives you the freedom and space you can get on a camping holiday. I've been camping since early childhood, when my parents bought their first caravan. They've moved onto motorhomes these days and my partner and I have a belltent. It's all camping in my book though.
Other than for city breaks, when a hotel is just so much more convenient, I'd always prefer to camp.
