Figures released by the Caravan Club show that holidaymakers had15.6million nights at its sites despite the washout summer. The rise was up 3.2 per cent on 2008.

The club also saw a record 23 per cent rise in new members signing up at this year’s Caravan Show at the NEC. “Our
season’s been terrific,” said club marketing director Nick Lomas.
