Fun needs to be had. It's a fact of life and just because we are currently existing in what people describe as 'hard times', 'the squeeze' and 'the
(uggghh) age of austerity' doesn't diminish our need to punctuate life with smiles, laughter and a healthy dose of thrill and hedonism,
however you choose to define those things. Kids are still having their childhoods; hens and stags are still planning parties to send their friends off into the nether world of post-marriage; families still need bonding time when cares and woes can be forgotten and infectious, impish smiles and downright abandonment can be digitally captured and stored for later perusal.
Agreed?So, the challenge becomes not
whether to go but how to afford to go which is where camping comes in. It's already acknowledged
(and scientifically proven, if statistical analysis is your thing) that camping increases our happiness and sense of well-being. Be it the closer connection with the great outdoors, the shedding of responsibilities, the novelty of living so simply or just the plentiful fresh air and sunlight, camping makes us smile. It's also far cheaper than any other form of accommodation -
aha, birds and stones are coming together in a variety of useful ways here.So, as champions of fun, smiling and all things camping, Campsite Chatter have done a bit of homework and created listings for camping near top UK attractions.
