When
spring comes around, so do lighter nights, blossoming flowers, wildlife, and
new-born animals, giving us the perfect sign to return to the outdoors and
enjoy some UK short breaks.
Herding
Hill Campsite is open all year round, however, there is something about camping
in spring that makes it one of the most enjoyable times to do it. We have put
together our top 10 tips for camping in spring for UK short breaks to help you
prepare for a relaxing and enjoyable trip.
When camping in
spring, it is a good idea to have backup activities planned in case the weather
is going to stop you from what you originally had planned. Maybe bring some
books or board games for the evenings.
2. Check the Weather Forecast
Springtime
weather is usually dry, with warmer days and cooler nights; however, the UK
weather is very unpredictable. It is important to check the weather forecast
before you go camping or on UK short breaks UK, so you know what to expect
and can prepare a bit better.
3. Pack for All Weathers
Make sure you pack
for all possible weather conditions. Pack some light and breathable clothing
for any outdoor activities during the day and layer up in the evening. Don’t
forget to pack some extra footwear and waterproofs, as spring can also mean
April showers!
4. Enjoy Family Friendly Camping Games
Whatever the
weather, there are plenty of fun family games you can play while camping in spring.
5. Pack Suncream and Bug Repellent
With the
weather getting warmer and flowers starting to bloom, camping in spring means
there might be bugs around, especially if you go out walking. Sunburn is also
common in the spring.
6. Enjoy the Springtime
To soak up the breath taking beauty of the North East and on your UK short
breaks,
enjoy the outdoors and explore Northumberland. Take in the local history, camping in the heart of Hadrian's Wall country at Herding Hill Farm.
7. Choosing the Right Accommodation
When booking any UK short breaks, make sure you choose
the right accommodation for you. Whether you enjoy camping and touring, glamping with hot tub, or
luxury lodges, we have something for everyone at Herding Hill.
