Pretty sure a lot of members will be towing or motorhoming abroad this year, a lot have already booked. I know we have, booked in December.
Always best to book early in case of price increases.

thats a good one, i booked a site, back in january, at £20 a night, and got a phone call from them last week ,saying they are putting the fees up £5 a night to £25 a night,
tried to find somewhere else in the area and they've all put them up, and they know they can get it,
just dont feel safe, booking at a price, and expecting it to stay at that, there may be other increases as the energy costs bite
-------------
I predict a riot !!

Demand for camp sites doesn't look much like dropping off if my experience this afternoon is anything to go by! Tried booking my favourite Lake District site for NOVEMBER, that's NINE MONTHS AWAY and well out of peak times, but can't book the entire week as 3 days of it are already fully booked!
Only got in last year for same week on a late cancellation vacancy that by sheer chance popped up as I was browsing for late vacancies! Some conciliation (if I could get a booking!) is that the price for 9 days has only risen by about £5.
Think we still have a year or two before the new 'Covid' campers tire of it all, sell their tents/vans/MHs, and return to Benidorm etc, en masse, but I suspect quite a lot will decide they like the lifestyle and stick with it, so the easy to book, quiet and 'cheap' scene we used to enjoy may never return as it used to be.
If the hoards did abandon camping life, the market would be flooded with tents, caravans and MH's, which would depress prices and attract some bargain hunters who would then substitute for the Benidorm bound 'Covid' campers, so the busy camp sites full of novice campers will continue. The tent's might get binned or forgotten in the shed, but I can't see the mass of nearly new caravans and MH's just disappearing, they are here for the longer term, and the people with them.
