Once you have decided you would like a static
caravan holiday, there are a number of things you need to
take into account before you can book.
The first thing to think about when planning
your holiday is about where you would like to go. Most coast
lines and country areas have a number of static caravan sites
to choose from. Would you like to go exploring to a place
you've never been before, with mountains and forests or beaches
and dunes? Or would you prefer somewhere near a town where
you can sample the local foods and wines and do some shopping?
Consider all your options before you make your decision.
Next you need to confirm how many people there
will be. Static caravans come in a number of sizes from small
one bedroom to large four or five bedrooms. When you look
on the caravan parks website or brochure you will be shown
a floor plan of each of their static caravans.
These lay out exactly how the caravan is set
up and will show how many people they can sleep, as they often
have further pull out beds or sofa beds. If there are many
of you; you may want to consider hiring two smaller static
caravans instead of one larger one where you are more likely
to get in each others way. Talk these things through with
the proprietor of the caravan park.
Facilities available at static caravan parks
vary greatly, so make sure that you read all the information
about the park before you book, so that you will not be disappointed
when you arrive to find no pool.
Some camps offer the bare minimum, maybe
a small supplies shop and an information point. These are
well suited to people who just want to get away from it all
and relax. Other parks offer all the facilities you could
possibly imagine you would need to enjoy your holiday from
twenty-four hour entertainment to indoor and outdoor pools,
children's activities and crazy golf. Think about the kind
of holiday you want and then find the right camp to suit your
needs.
Consider how you are going to get to your
chosen holiday destination. Depending upon where you are going
you may need to book flights or trains and buses.
Make sure you know how to reach the park
from the airport or bus station as they can often be off the
beaten track. Probably the best way, if possible, is to drive
there yourself as this means you will have plenty of boot
space for all your belongings and will have the advantage
of having a vehicle to get around and explore. If this is
not possible, definitely consider hiring a vehicle when you
arrive.
