Caravan holidays are perfect for families

Posted by Linda Davidson


Caravan holidays are an "excellent option" for families, people with caravan accessories have been told.


Louise Wood, spokesperson for the National Caravan Council (NCC), said that in the current climate when families are on a budget, going away in a caravan can be a great holiday that does not cost the earth.


"They provide very good value and also gets the kids out and about and enjoying the countryside. A lot of caravan parks now have very good facilities for children. They'll have entertainment, they'll have indoor sports, maybe computer games and things like that," explained Ms Wood.


She added that in this way, caravan holidays allow families to have fun inside or outdoors.


Location-wise she suggested that Dorset, East Anglia and Yorkshire are all good starting points but stressed that anywhere with good facilities is worth a trip.


This view was supported by Joanne O'Connor, writing for the Guardian, who claimed that while glamping is having a fashion moment, caravan parks are more family friendly.
