Camping At The Games hits the BBC
The Campingninja team has been delighted with the response to our latest project, Camping At The Games, and would like to thank all our ninja friends for your support!
For us it seems like the perfect solution, we love camping and we love sport so why not combine the two! Camping At The Games is providing great value accommodation, from no more than £10 per night for adults and £5 for children during the Olympic and Paralympic games, at campsites in close proximity to all the major venues! And best of all, the sites will be hosted by local sports clubs and the proceeds will go a long way in reinvesting in their facilities and developing sport in the UK!
As always at local sports clubs we anticipate the atmosphere at these sites to be buzzing and so far we have received a great deal of interest from families, couples, groups of friends and volunteers, which will only add to it! Also you may have already seen that Camping At The Games went viral last week in a feature on
BBC World News about Olympic accommodation that "won't break the bank" or line the pockets of large hotel chains, so we are expecting the project to be just as popular with our international visitors, therefore if you haven't already,
register here to entitle you to make priority bookings!
Camping At The Games venues will be announced on January 5th, and priority bookings will open for those who have registered, for those who haven't registered bookings open on January 12th, but we suggest you get in their fast!
P.S. We hope the Christmas shopping is going well, and for those with festive hangovers here are
some top tips from lonely planet to help you out!
Over and out,
The Campingninja team
