Bookings up at the Camping and Caravanning Club

The Camping and Caravanning Club has announced a 4% increase in the total number of touring pitch nights sold, compared with 2014, across its Club Sites network.

The Club’s network today consists of 107 sites, and features some popular destinations in the north west of England.

Club Sites at Braithwaite Fold, in the Lake District, and Hayfield in Derbyshire, were the star performers and each recorded a 9% increase in bookings during 2015 (from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015), compared with the same period in 2014.

Braithwaite Fold is located on the eastern shore of Lake Windermere, and is the perfect base to explore the towns of Windermere and Bowness.

Across the border into Wales, Bala Camping and Caravanning Club site is less than a two hour drive from Manchester. The site is located next to the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, and it too saw significant growth in 2015, with 6% more pitch night sales than the previous year.

Bob Hill, Club Sites Director, said, “We’ve invested significantly in our 107-strong Club Sites network in the last few years, and we’re delighted to see that the sites are proving a hit with campers. We’re confident 2016 will see further growth, with lower prices at the pump making it easier and cheaper for people to enjoy short camping breaks at one of their many local Club Sites.”

With online booking becoming increasingly popular, the Club reported a 9% increase in the number of pitch nights sold on its busiest online booking day during 2015 when compared to the same day in 2014.

Both dates fell during the late May Bank Holiday weekend, coinciding with the Club’s annual National Camping and Caravanning Week campaign.

The Camping and Caravanning Club is an exhibitor at this year’s Caravan & Motorhome Show, held at Manchester’s Event City from 21-24 January.
