It is well-established that camping is one of the great British traditions – but how popular and relevant does it continue to be among Britons in the 2020s? Quite a lot, it turns out; a survey a few years ago found that 42.2% of people in the UK went camping at least once a year.
Indeed, more than one in 25 Britons are apparently so enthusiastic about it that they have claimed to camp at least once a month.
4 situations that could make a traveler TV a campsite essential
Still, whatever your level of experience may be with camping in the UK, you might understandably wonder: would a modestly sized but feature-rich traveler TV, such as a model from the Cello Electronics range, be a good investment for the campsite?
The short answer is… yes. However, this will depend greatly on the conditions and infrastructure where you will be camping, as well as your viewing habits (and those of whoever will be camping with you).
So, let’s take a look at some of the biggest reasons why you might decide to purchase a campsite-ready traveler TV for use in the UK:
-
When you need entertainment during downtime at the campsite
Yes, the leading and longest-established UK campsites do tend to have impressive amenities these days.
However, for those moments when you yearn to watch familiar TV shows or movies, you might be thankful for having a traveler TV close by that incorporates a satellite tuner, and that presents options such as Freesat and Freeview Play.
-
When you will be camping as a family or group
A classic scenario here is that of a young family embarking on a camping break to a relatively isolated part of the Lake District, Cornwall, or the Peak District. To put it another way: during such a holiday, there might not always be many forms of “kid-friendly” entertainment available.
As well as the aforementioned Freesat and Freeview Play for accessing the likes of CBBC, CBeebies, and Tiny Pop, opting for a traveler TV with an integrated DVD player could further expand the possibilities for keeping the little ones stimulated.
-
When you will be camping in areas with limited connectivity
Certain areas, such as parts of Snowdonia or the Scottish Highlands, can’t be counted on to provide good mobile data or Wi-Fi connectivity to allow for entertainment streaming on phones or tablets.
Again, this is another situation when a traveler TV incorporating a DVD player will probably be handy. However, you might also be drawn towards certain portable TVs of ours that have one or multiple HDMI connections. The latter would be ideal for connecting games consoles, Blu-ray players, and other devices.
-
When you would like to keep up with local news and events as you camp
Sure, the chances are that you will be able to use your phone or tablet to follow nearby UK news, weather, and event updates during your camping adventures.
However, your access to a traveler TV with Freeview Play will give you another device through which you can watch BBC News broadcasts or coverage of local music festivals like Glastonbury, without having to drain your phone battery or data.
