Summer is well underway and there is still plenty of time to hitch up the caravan and head off for a break but how do you decide which caravan site is right for you? The following information will help you to make an informed decision so you can get your holiday off to the right start.
Pitch size
The space you need depends on your caravan and whether you plan to use an awning. Look to use a pitch that is slightly bigger than what you actually need. This will provide you with the extra space should you need it. Also think about how much outside space you need. Pets and children could mean that you need more space around the caravan.
Facilities and amenities
If you are looking for a site that has a bit of life to it with restaurants and bars and even a swimming pool then the chances are you will need to find a site that is located near to a town or village. However, if you want a site that is quiet and offers scenic walks then a site in the country side may be right for you.
Cost
The prices charged by different sites can vary considerably so consider how much you can afford. Understanding how much you can afford will allow you to budget for other thing such as food and trips. The summer time is going to cost you more while the winter months will obviously be cheaper and the space you need will also determine the cost. It is also worth considering the cost of travelling because the further you have to drive the more it is going to cost you overall.
While there are many things to consider when choosing a caravan site, it is always worth comparing different sites before booking to make sure that you get the right price as it could be cheaper elsewhere.
Getting it right is vital especially if you have to drive a considerable distance to the caravan site. Understanding each aspect according to your preferences will ensure that your holiday is stress free and completely enjoyable for all involved. All it takes is a bit of planning and understanding and everything will fall into place.
