"With the Pound/Euro exchange rate being so poor, it is around 25 per cent more expensive to holiday in Europe than it was last year. Brits have also suffered the worst financial downturn since the great depression. Combine these factors with many people wanting to take a greener holiday and enjoy the great outdoors, and I believe this is the reason why caravan and campsites countrywide have been brimming.

At the farm we have a 40-pitch site with 16 electric hook-ups, a toilet and shower block, dish-wash area and access to a two mile Wildlife Walk. For those staying on the caravan site, having paid to visit the Cotswold Farm Park once, they can reuse their ticket for the duration of their stay on our site. Despite snow over the Easter weekend in 2008 and a very wet summer, those hardy campers seem undeterred and our bookings for 2009 are better than ever. We have been promised a glorious summer by the powers that be in the MET office and this can only help caravan and campsite attendance nationally, if it’s true of course!"
