money saving holiday?

hi
i'm just after some ideas for cheap holidays. there will probably be 3 of us (male mid 20s). i know camp sites are cheap but we dont really want to stay in a tent, caravan would be ok.
we live in reading, berkshire.
totally open to ideas, with an emphasis on keeping it cheap but enjoyable.
thanks

  • What is your budget and when do you want to go?
  • hi there
    last time i looked sun holdays were family only, or at least no single sex groups?
    we have no specific budget, i am just after ideas of enjoyable holidays that dont cost loads of money. all i can think of is finding a caravan site or house to rent for a week somewhere near the coast.
    no particular date in mind, probably avoid school holiday times though so it wont be so busy with families.
  • oh youth hostels, never stayed in one, what are they like?

    do you get any privacy or are you in a room with strangers?

    seems like a good way to save money, would definiately consider it.

    some are fabulous in a variety of locations. you can choose from dorm, private room, bunker etc and there are plenty of offers about for joining. have stayed in york centre which is excellent- right on the canal. Book them early for lakes or cornwall.

    have fun

    if you re after abroad try www.skyscanner.com
