With Boris Johnson set to set out his "road map" on Monday in which he detail his plans to lead the country out of lockdown, attention has started to turn to when things might reopen.

As the country endures a third national lockdown, people will be hoping to be able to book some sort of holiday this year after spending the first two months of 2021 locked away at home. 

However, with new travel restriction in England, many may not be comfortable with booking a holiday abroad this year.

Holidays of all types are currently not possible under lockdown restrictions.

But, with the pace of the vaccination rollout, coupled with falling infection rates and hospital admissions, hope remains of some travel this summer.

This means more people will be looking at caravan or camping holidays, hotspots like Cornwall have already seen a surge in interest, with many looking at camping and caravan breaks

When could we see these sites reopen? Here is everything we know so far.

Why are campsites closed?

Following a rise in infection rates and hospital admissions over the festive period, the UK government enforced a national lockdown to limit the spread of the deadly virus.

Prime minister Boris Johnson made the decision on Monday 4 January to restrict people’s movements, leading to the temporary closure of campsites, caravan sites and holiday parks.

It is not the first time holidaymakers have had their plans disrupted following lockdowns in 2020 used to control the virus and prevent the NHS from being overwhelmed.

When will campsites reopen?

In 2020, campsites reopened from early July to allow Brits to experience the great outdoors and clear the cobwebs from the first national lockdown.

It is hoped a similar arrangement, which saw reduced capacities, social distancing measures and Covid habits, could be allowed as early as March.

And, if the situation continues to improve, the summer holidays could see many more holidaymakers head to UK staycation locations to pitch up a tent.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to outline his roadmap for the gradual easing of Covid restrictions, as the country is expected to emerge from a third national lockdown.

He will make an announcement on Monday 22 February.

The reopening of schools to all children is the government’s top priority, with a date of Monday 8 March given as the earliest possible date for this to happen.

It means that any reopening of campsites, caravan sites or holiday parks is likely to come on or after this date, with companies braced for an influx of domestic bookings.

What have major campsites and holiday parks said?

Many of the major companies have followed this line of thinking in response to the potential relaxing of Covid rules and the subsequent reopening of its facilities.
