Caravan insurance policyholders stuck somewhere gloomy in the near future could find their mobile home site offers Wi-Fi access to the internet - for a price.

Telecommunications firm BT has revealed plans to provide the wireless internet access from a number of caravanning and camping sites across the UK.

The development could be good news for caravan insurance policyholders looking to fill a rainy day while holidaying at home.

"Having the option to get online and stay entertained will provide a useful 'plan B' if the weather does its worst, and being able to look up tourist information and hunt out local gems will make for a better trip," commented general manager of BT Openzone Chris Bruce.

The service is set to be free to O2 or BT Wi-Fi provider Openzone customers and will be available at 77 Camping and Caravanning Club sites following an agreement with digital network provider Wicoms.

Simon Davies, chief technology officer of Wicoms, said: "Lots of Brits have stayed in the UK rather than head overseas this year. Families tell us that holiday sites are another location where they want to get online. Teenagers and gadget addicts are set to be heavy users."

Many camping and caravan parks across the UK already provide Wi-Fi access. Among them are Cosgrove Leisure Park in Buckinghamshire, Riverside Mobile Home and Touring Park in Middlesex and Twilite Leisure Park in Oxfordshire.
