Retailers are running out of camping equipment and family tents as the Covid-19 pandemic puts a dampener on foreign trips and Britons search for affordable holiday alternatives.
Sports retailer Decathlon said it had already sold out of all its own-brand camping chairs and expected to run out of its top-of-the-range family tents within the next few weeks.
“We have been surprised how strong performance has been,” said Chris Allen, Decathlon’s head of camping, referring to several weeks of very rainy weather across the UK. “This year has been really strong, we think the strongest ever for the sector.”

A new pop-up campsite opens in July as part of a relaxation in rules which will enable landowners to open up temporary campsites without planning permission.
Richard Palmer, managing director for Devonshire Hotels & Restaurants Group who will be operating the site, says: “It’s the first time that we’ve set up a campsite on the estate. Our holiday cottages are always popular, and with this year’s domestic holiday boom, have almost sold out already from now until September. The pop-up campsite is another way for us to welcome people onto the estate for more than just a day trip. It means that they can enjoy the best of Chatsworth’s natural beauty, and have the whole of the Peak District on the doorstep.”
