But with holiday costs skyrocketing, many families are left wondering if they should just pitch a tent in the garden instead.

After all, who needs a fancy resort when you can enjoy the great outdoors, complete with the sound of the neighbour's lawnmower?

It's no secret that holiday prices have gone through the roof again, with some trips costing two to six times more during peak school holiday periods.

Many families see this as nothing short of exploitation.
