Caravan parks in England

For this post I will be concentrating on caravan parks in england and the main things that determine what sort of caravan park or campsite it is. There are quite a few things that set each caravan park and campsite apart from all the others in England. One main factor being the type of park it is, the different types are listed below:

• Static Caravan Park ( a.k.a holiday home park)
• Touring Caravan Park
• Campsite

Static Caravan Parks are sites that have static caravans on site on a semi-permanent basis. Static caravans are the larger style caravans that will live most of their life on a caravan park plot and generally only be moved to another park, showground or scrapyard. Static caravans being the larger and less mobile of the lot tend to be higher specced and spacious than touring caravans or motorhomes.

Touring Caravan Parks are sites that have many plots that can be rented out on a nightly basis with basic services such as electric, and occasionally water / gas. As tourers are generally less equipped than their static counterparts touring caravan parks need to have more facilities on site such as sanitary and toilet blocks, water hookups and waste disposal areas. Motorhome parks are normally just touring caravan parks, except normally motorhomes will have hard standing pitches, though this really isnt a necessity when in the dryer months of the year.

Campsites are the holiday parks that cater to tents, people will rent a pitch on a nightly basis and pitch their tent up. Most sites will have sanitary and toilet blocks to facilitate campers. A campsite is very similar to a touring park other than you take your tent there. Most campsites dont tend to have an electric hookup specifically for tents though most sites will accomodate for the campers if it is needed.

If you found any of this useful dont hesitate to leave a comment, Im always interested to hear what people would like to read about next.
