AN ACCOMMODATION provider has revealed an increase of almost half in the amount of outdoor holidays booked in Hampshire last year.

Pitchup.com has said that there was a 48 per cent increase in outdoor holidays booked through the platform in 2020.

Marwell Resort was Pitchup.com’s best-selling in the county and also placed in its top ten for the UK.

The attraction was booked through the site 1,400 times, despite lockdown restrictions meaning campsites could not reopen until July 4.

Dan Yates, founder of Pitchup.com, said: “Marwell Resort is a shining example of the fantastic family-friendly campsites that are available across the UK, offering a wide range of on-site facilities and ideally located for exploring great attractions.

"ith pitches for tents, campervans and caravans, as well as safari tents, ideally located close to Winchester and Marwell Zoo, and offering a range of activities such as fishing and quad biking, Marwell Resort truly is perfect for a family camping adventure!”
