Since 2020 and the pandemic, bookings at the most desirable campsites have soared and to be honest the demand has remained steadily high. 2024 will be the 5th year of continued growth as people continue to enjoy outdoor activities.

Camping property owners have had to expand and diversify their offerings in order to keep up with popularity and demand. Expectations of campers have also shifted over recent years. Many seek better infrastructure, amenities, accommodation types, unique experiences and addons.

One of the biggest camping trends is unsurprisingly the rise of the use of technology. Technology obviously is here to stay indoors or out! and has become an integral part of our camping routines. Today, consumers are looking for enhanced technology when selecting their campsite.

Interestingly data shows that remote working from campsites not only exists but also continues to grow! Wifi and data connections are the top amenity requested at a campsite and now a must for campsite owners.

Glamping continues to be popular, comfort and luxury combined with an outdoor experience is perfect for many. A kitchen, electricity and warmth are all appealing in the UK with our uncertain climate.

Pop Up Power Supplies® offer a range of retractable service units which are increasingly being specified and installed at leisure facilities throughout the UK.  These power units offer a reliable and secure power supply for outdoor stalls, and the retractable nature of the units mean that when they are not in use they are simply retracted back into the ground, thus having a minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

The In-Ground power units can be operated with the lids locked down, and the lids for both solutions are also recessed to accommodate any infill surface material, whether it is stone, paving or grass. This ensures that units blend seamlessly with the camping environment, upholding the integrity and aesthetics of being outdoors.
