Christmas staycations on the rise for Club members

Just over a quarter of Caravan and Motorhome Club members are planning a UK break this Christmas, with 35 per cent of new members wanting to spend Christmas 2020 in their motorhome.

In previous years, the Club has noticed a steady rise in those wanting to holiday in their motorhome, caravan and campervan over the festive season, but its expecting a particularly busy Christmas period for its sites that are currently allowed to be open — which is around 50 in England and many across Wales and Scotland, subject to area restrictions.

Harvey Alexander, director of marketing and membership services at the Caravan and Motorhome, said: “As we all know only too well, this year has been one like no other, so it is hardly surprising that our members want to get away this Christmas, experience the great outdoors and then relax in a warm and cosy caravan, motorhome or campervan.

"We have many members who spend every year away on one of our campsites. They will decorate their 'vans and cook a fantastic Christmas lunch after an invigorating walk in the morning. What could be more appealing?"
