Eurocamp back in UK after 15 year absence

In 1994, Holidaybreak, the owner of Eurocamp, closed the last of its British camp sites, but this year it has returned to meet the demand for lower-cost holidays in Britain as increasing numbers of UK holidaymakers forego their annual break abroad.
One of the company’s nine new camps in Britain is located on a National Trust site in Great Langdale, adjacent to the Langdale Pikes, which is a favourite among hill walkers.
When Holidaybreak closed its camps in Britain 15 years ago, it was due to the increased available of cheap overseas flights on low-cost airlines. The return of the camp operator is a reflection of the current economy and the weakness of the pound, which combined are making austerity holidays the latest trend.
With Eurocamp holidays, no camping skills are required. A six-person tent is provided that is set up with beds having foam mattresses and also a mini-kitchen – ready for the arrival of the next guests.
Eurocamp had said that it provides over 294,000 tent pegs every year so that holidaymakers don’t have to deal with anything other than the barbecue – which is actually supplied at the site in the Lake District.
Although Cumbria can certainly be described as beautiful as Umbria, at the camp the tent site is in a muddy field and the weather conditions are what lovers of the outdoors call “fresh”.
