Summer holidays are coming to an end, but there is one more chance to go away for a much-needed staycation this August. August Bank Holiday is here, and with seemingly every accommodation already booked up, last minute holidaymakers may start to despair.
Britons may not be aware that some camping sites are only open during the Bank Holiday.
Pitchup, the booking platform for camping and glamping, has listed some of these sites.
And Britons will be happy to learn that they all still have availability at time of writing.
