Family holidays are the most cherished things of all. We always look forward to going on trips with family and if you are planning to go, why not plan a camping trip? This summer, a backpacking trip could be all you need to spend that quality time with the people you love. We have jotted down some of the benefits of going backpacking with your family –

Create life-long memories – A camping trip is a great excuse of getting away from all the worries of a normal life. It creates a distance between you and what distracts you and brings loved ones closer. One study has revealed that kids are fascinated by the idea of camping as they get to see their parents happy and relaxed. You would get a bucket load of memories to hold on for life. Things like cooking, sitting on the floor to look at the stars, and bonfires are some of the best activities to do with your family.

Improved health – Holidays are undoubtedly relaxing as they take you away from your usual routines and give you a chance to recharge. Camping takes you closer to nature which is why it helps you become more active. You would definitely indulge in camping activities like running, walking, cycling, and playing with the family.

Economical – Camping, unlike most other family holidays doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket. A tent pitch would not cost you more than £4 to £5 for each night so the most expensive factor of your trip would be the tent. This makes your family trip economical and tension-free. There are a lot of websites advertising camping trips to help you choose the right one for you and your family.

Wandering the country – If you are from the UK camp in the UK, if you are not camp in your home country. This has many benefits such as exploring where you live without expensive travel costs to go abroad. You will be able to pack easily for your trip as you can predict the weather where you live in contrast for planning for weather abroad, meaning you are less likely to pack things unnecessarily.

Your dog can go too – Most of us hate leaving our pets behind when we travel abroad so one of the most attractive things about a camping trip with family is that you can take your dog with you! Make sure where you go is ok for the dog as you don’t want it showing aggression if it does not feel safe.

Holidays are common but camping with the family is something different and everybody should try it once just to see how it feels. The experience would definitely be worth remembering for life.
