Why caravan holidays are so underrated
CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple.
And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break.
Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated...
WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun.
She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays.
As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday.
No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs.
I still love caravan holidays as an adult.
In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics.
There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad.
I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade.
My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in.
And then, of course, there's the cost.
Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips.
With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad.
I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day.
A fellow shopper commented: ''We have one, we used for the beach, and do our big shop in it.''
''What a cracking price,'' someone else couldn't believe the offer.

One of Europe's cheapest holiday destinations to enter the Eurozone next year – here's what it means for your trip
A NEW country is set to join the eurozone next year - and it might not be good new for Brits. The European Commission has given Bulgaria the green light to join the eurozone next year. 3 Bulgaria will join the eurozone next year Credit: Alamy Bulgaria joined the European Union back in 2007 and it will become the 21st country to adopt the euro on January 1, 2026. This means Brits will eventually have to use up any of their old currency, which is the Bulgarian lev. However, once the euro is in place in Bulgaria - it will be easier for Brits to use up leftover change from a previous trips to other euro-accepting countries. According to Eamonn Turley, a financial specialist at Read more on Bulgaria "Once Bulgaria adopts the euro, British travellers will have the convenience of spending the same currency that they would if they were travelling to most other popular European destinations like Spain, France, or Italy. "The majority of Britons spend debit or credit cards when abroad, and with the euro, there is less foreign transaction fees or dynamic currency conversion fees, which can be hidden and bring added cost." Currently for each pound Brits can get 2.32 levs, but each pound will give Brits €1.19 - meaning that Brits get more levs for their money than euros. Eamonn also explained how Bulgaria has traditionally had a lower living standard that other Western European countries. Most read in News Travel This means that tourists have often flocked there for the country's cheap holidays. "When other Eastern European countries like Estonia and Lithuania joined the Eurozone, there was a bit of price inflation that came with the stronger currency and greater economic integration," added Eamonn. Trade Sunny Beach in Bulgaria for a little-known spot praised by locals "Britons may find that while currency exchange hassles disappear, the prices of meals, hotels, and services may gradually rise." However, there are also positives to the news as he says that stronger economic stability can lead to "improved transport links, more quality hotels, and improved tourist facilities, making Bulgaria an even more competitive holiday destination". He finished by saying: "From my financial perspective, this integration within the eurozone will render Bulgaria a more desirable destination for British tourists wanting convenience and safety with their spending, with perhaps the medium to long-term gain of enhanced tourism service and infrastructure." However, many Bulgarians remain skeptical and fear a rise in prices during the switch - which has happened in other countries that joined over the past decade. The country was considered relatively cheap but has become more expensive over the past two decades. 3 Croatia entered the Eurozone in 2023 Credit: Getty According to a European Central Bank blog: "the impact of the euro changeover on consumer prices in It added: "Continued monitoring is essential. "Croatia's experience is an important lesson for other EU Member States adopting the euro, as it confirms that the economic costs arising from the effect of the changeover on inflation are limited and of a one-off nature." The same could be seen with Bulgaria's transition. There are also several reasons why Brits should swap Spanish holidays for five destinations in stunning European country – with cheap pints & flights.
