Caravan & Tourist Parks

A caravan park is a place where caravans and other camper vehicles can be parked overnight on powered or unpowered camp sites. Caravan parks may also be associated with or contain additional tent camping areas.

Caravans and campers are allocated individual spaces known as sites which are rented on a daily, weekly or long term basis. Each site will provide certain facilities for use by the caravan, including an AC power connection, drinking water connection and sewer connection. Some sites may supply television aerial connection and a wifi hotspot. Caravan parks also provide a range of additional services for the general use of park guests. These service will generally include, at a minimum, shower and toilet blocks, laundry facilities, and a recreation space. Many caravan parks will also have communal bbq and dining facilities, swimming pools, convenience stores, children’s play areas and tennis courts.

Onsite caravan and cabin rental is popular for those people wishing to experience caravan living without the need to purchase a caravan or camper. Onsite caravans are often larger and more elaborate than those which are moved from location to location, and will often contain a toilet and even a shower. Many caravan parks also provide onsite cabins which can range from fairly simple buildings not far removed from caravans, through to fully appointed lodges able to house large groups in style.

Caravan parks also provide a popular option for retirement living, with many people choosing to relocate for part or all of the year, to a permanently situated caravan in a favourite location.
