In Lancashire, Blackpool may not be the automatic choice for campers (and, indeed, glampers) as the town is renowned for its beach, theme park, and leisure activities. Whilst there are more idyllic settings with rolling countryside (such as in Rivington, just outside Preston), Blackpool shouldn’t be sniffed at as it’s become something of a unique location for campers.

Spending a holiday camping, sleeping under canvas with just the bare essentials, can be fun – especially if you are a child – but it can also be a chore. The fun wears off when the weather is poor, or where you are on uncomfortable ground, and this is why as we grow older we tend to choose a holiday in more comfortable surroundings! However, lately there is a new kind of camping that has attracted many thousands of holidaymakers, and it takes the basic idea of camping and brings it into the 21^st century; it’s known as glamping, and it really is the real deal!

The United Kingdom doesn’t provide much time each year to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, which is a shame when you consider the wonderful natural sights on offer. If you’re going to make the most of the summer by heading out on a camping trip, make sure you take a cotton bag. They might not sound important, but cotton bags come with a number of advantages for a hiker.
