Caravan Sites

Caravan and camp sites can be defined as an area of land where people can stay in a static caravan, fleet caravan, touring caravan, tents or pods.

The Types of Caravan

To fully understand exactly what a static caravan is and to clear up any confusion between the different phrases, it’s important that we define each individual type of caravan. We’ll start with the two main types of static caravan in the UK before moving on to some of the other commonly used terms in the industry.

Touring Caravan

The touring caravan is what most people imagine when the word ‘caravan’ is mentioned – a trailer-style home that is designed to be towed by a vehicle (usually a car). Touring caravans are almost always made to be both lightweight and strong, otherwise, the caravan will not be secure and you may encounter issues while towing it.

Static Caravan

On the other hand, static caravans aren’t meant to be towed around the country. Instead, they are designed to be transported only once – directly to a holiday or caravan park – where they will stay for a sustained period of time.

In short, a static caravan stays in one place whereas a touring caravan is towed and can be taken wherever you want.

The fact that static caravans remain stationary means that they can benefit from more comprehensive facilities and home comforts. For example, static caravans usually include central heating, double glazing and fully-equipped kitchens and bathrooms. Similarly, whilst the interior of a touring caravan needs to be fixed to avoid issues during travel, static caravans open the door to additional appliances and free-standing furniture.
