Camping vs hotel budget
Enter your nights, people and your own costs for up to three types of stay. Spread a one-off camping kit cost over the trips you'll use it for.
Your figures, not a quote. There are no default prices: every cost comes from you.
A planning guide, not advice.
Worked example
Made-up figures for two people and seven nights. Use your own quotes.
- Campsite: £30 a night, food £20 per person per day, £150 of kit spread over 3 trips
- Hotel or B&B: £110 a night, food £45 per person per day
Camping: 7 × £30 + 7 × 2 × £20 + £150 ÷ 3 = £540. Hotel: 7 × £110 + 7 × 2 × £45 = £1400. Difference: £860.
How it works
Each stay type: nights × cost per night + nights × people × food per person per day + nights × extras. The campsite also carries its kit cost ÷ the number of trips. Break-even shows how many nights camping takes to cover its kit share against each other option.
There are no default prices: every figure is yours.
Frequently asked questions
Does it include fuel?
No. Use the trip fuel and charging cost calculator for that, then add the two together.
