Size matters: Why we need the lowdown on your rig

Alright, if you’ve booked a spot at one of our parks, you’ve probably been asked about the size of your caravan. You might be thinking, “Why the fuss?” Well, we promise we’re not just being nosy - we’ve got some solid reasons for needing to know. So, let’s take a sec to break down why size really does matter when it comes to your rig!

Your van needs to fit on the campsite

First things first, we need to make sure your caravan fits comfortably on your site. It’s not about squeezing it in somewhere; it’s about ensuring there’s a metre of space between your van’s drawbar and the edge of the site. Yep, it's actually required by law! This gives you plenty of room to park up, stretch out, and enjoy your stay without feeling like you're on top of your neighbours. If you've got an annexe, awning, or any other add-ons, we want to make sure there’s enough space for them, too.

Just upgraded to a shiny new van (lucky you!)? Be sure to let us know so we can adjust your booking and make sure your rig fits snugly into the next spot. We’ve got your back!

One caravan per campsite

Now, let’s talk about space. We stick to one caravan per site. We know it might sound a bit strict, but trust us, it’s for everyone’s benefit. If we let extra caravans onto a site, it could block access to nearby facilities, mess with the flow of traffic, and - let’s face it - nobody wants to feel like they're in a game of Tetris. By knowing the size of your van, we can make sure your site is just right, with enough room for your rig and any extras you might have, so there’s no “sardine can” vibe.

Same goes for cars

And while we’re at it, let’s talk cars. We keep it to one car per site. After all, it’s a caravan park, not a car park! With little feet running around, it’s important to keep the parking areas organised for safety and to ensure the grounds flow smoothly. Keeping the cars in their designated spots helps maintain that safe, spacious vibe we all love.

We’re here to help

Booking your spot is easier than ever now thanks to our new and improved website process. It’s simple to measure your van and find the right spot, so your stay can be smooth sailing from start to finish.

To sum up...

While giving the size of your caravan might seem like a small detail, it’s super important for making sure everything runs smoothly, safely, and comfortably. These little things - like keeping caravans at a safe distance from roads and limiting each site to one van - add up to an all-around better experience for everyone.

So, next time we ask for your caravan size, just remember: it’s not us being nosey, it’s all about making your stay as stress-free and relaxing as possible. Happy caravanning, folks!
