'It's not quite Spain but it's not far off':
Some families are planning for day trips closer to home during school holidays to cut costs rather than booking accommodation
"We've already been away a few times this year, on different camping trips, when people have been staying in our house," she says.Marion has cannily also saved even more money by using a camping equipment and tent sharing website called Tentshare, for these trips. People list their tents and kit for free on the site and charge whatever they think their listing is worth.
"We didn't want to get caught up in Covid and staffing chaos at airports and lose money," she says. "Or, have to pay out because of disruption." Rather than getting frustrated with "being on the waiting list for a beach hut for the seventh year running," she says, instead they decided to kit their car out like a mobile beach hut.
"It was a fantastic experience," she says. "It saved us so much money. We were able to use their car as well as their house which really helped. They also had a boat on the lake which we certainly made the most of!"It may also be worth checking out what your local authority or public library service, is offering for families for free over the summer.
