2013 Campsite of the year

With no sign of the cold weather letting up just yet, there’s never been a better time to think about your spring and summer breaks. Christmas is a distant memory but the money spent on it may not be. At Albion Caravans (http://www.albioncaravans.co.uk) we have been helping people across the UK take a variety of affordable holidays in our used touring caravans and by choosing second hand caravans our customers have invested in cheap holidays for life.

With so many campsites to choose from on our green and sceptred isle it can be hard to know where to start, so as the AA have recently announced their 2013 winners of the campsite of the year we thought we would share some of their top picks for the year ahead.

The AA inspectors’ considerations will be familiar to our customers of used touring caravans. Quality customer service is key, as are the cleanliness and maintenance of public areas, size of pitches and quality of the landscaping of the ground. The inspector will also look for recent improvements as well as original innovations when considering a potential winner.

And the overall winner of AA campsite of the year is:

Old Oaks Touring Park, Glastonbury – Set apart from others by its astounding overall quality, this luxury campsite is based on a working farm, with Glastonbury Tor a mere stone’s throw away. Featuring extra large super pitches for caravans and amazing views of the Mendip hills, the ultimate in laid back leisure but sorry, no children aloud, this site is just for the over 18s.

Here’s a selection of the other winners from around the UK:

Caerfai Bay Caravan and Tent Park, St David’s – This beachside family favourite impressed the judges with its huge variety of facilities including a geo thermal underground water heating system. Set high up on the cliffs beside the Pembrokeshire coastal path, the views are unrivalled.

Woodhall Country Park, Woodhall Spa – Although it’s only been open for two years, this charming touring park set deep in the woodlands has already made its mark. With a strong belief in all things eco friendly and sustainable, pitches are beautifully set amongst nature, and campers can enjoy a fishing lake and log cabin facilities.

Milton of Fonab Caravan Site, Pitlochry – The perfect base for touring Scotland, this peaceful and expansive site is set on the banks of the River Tummel. Though traditional in feel it’s equipped with many modern facilities including free Wi-fi.
