Camping website Pitchup.com has seen bookings for campsites soar in recent weeks as families opt for a UK holiday.

With pubs able to open from April 12, as long as punters stay outside, many friends and family members will be flocking to get a long-awaited pint.

From May 17, pubs will be able to welcome drinkers inside as well.

Dan Yates, founder of Pitchup.com, said: “Pubs that offer camping and caravan sites are a great choice for an outdoor break, as an opportunity to discover the British countryside, with food and drink close to hand.

‘It’s also a great way for holidaymakers to help secure the future of the precious village pub.”

Here are some of the best pubs with campsites you can still book.
