SITE PLAN
We ’ ve found that it ’ s becoming increasingly popular for the larger holiday park chains to provide a park site plan on their website . We take advantage of these as they help us with site planning when looking at longer caravan park stays .
Where site plans aren ’ t provided online , we ’ ll call the caravan park and request one to be emailed to us . This helps us to determine proximity to facilities such as the amenities block , camp kitchen , playgrounds and major thoroughfares .
Depending on your circumstances , you may like to be close to all of these or kept well away . While you may not be lucky enough to get your first site pick , selecting a few potential sites may reward you with one of your choices .
On many occasions , we ’ ve found being able to see the location of a caravan park using Google Maps beneficial .
CARAVAN PARK LOCATION
When planning to stay at a caravan park for several days in an unfamiliar town , we like to check the location of the park beforehand using Google Maps .
This allows us to see the park ’ s exact location in relation to busy roads , we can see its proximity to shops and other facilities , and whether its location backs onto a railway line or school . Using this type of approach puts us on the front foot for making the correct decision , especially when there are multiple caravan parks in the town to choose from .
