Hot weather is changing camping habits across the West, with some holidaymakers ditching tents in favour of glamping while others are continuing to book UK breaks.
Campsite owners in Somerset say recent heatwaves have prompted some visitors to rethink traditional camping holidays, particularly families with children, older relatives and dogs.
At the same time, other sites in the region report rising visitor numbers as holidaymakers take advantage of dry weather and look for affordable alternatives to trips abroad.
