holiday in a tent to save money

The inflation figures are out today, showing an overall rise of 4.4%, with food increasing by a massive 12%. Whichever way you wish to look at it, times are getting hard and we all need to watch the cash in our pocket.

Holidays are always a good way to escape the depression, but they do not work out cheap. That is unless you go camping. Gone are the days of roughing it in a muddy field, eating cold beans and having your pathetic tent chewed by a cow. These days camping is 5 star luxury (well, almost). Most sites now have electric hook ups for tents, so you can take your kettle/laptop/plasma in fact anything you fancy with you.

Tents are avaiable from about £10 upwards, but if you are willing to spend £100 plus you can have seperate bedroom(s)/living and dinig areas. Finish them off with luxury beds and you will believe you are in the Hilton. Almost.

Pitches start from around £10-£20 per night depending on season and location.

You can almost give it all up.,stop paying your mortgage and live in a tent in a field full-time.*
