Caravan park owners have been warned of the importance of keeping their sites up to scratch if they want to ensure visitors return for future trips.
The Maclaey Argus reports that two couples who regularly visit the same caravan park in Australia are fearful that its current state could not only lead to a lack of guests, but also have implications on local businesses.
Jeff Rodway is one of the frequent visitors and believes that the owners of the site are not using a percentage of any fees received towards ensuring facilities are well maintained.
He told the publication: "The facilities leave a lot to be desired. We travel six months of the year with the caravan and have been around Australia and this is the worst park we have stayed at.
"When camping we are prepared to take on nature and the elements, but when you are trying to set up and have three inches of water under your feet while trying to connect power to your site it is a dangerous situation to be in."
Among the checks that should be regularly carried out on caravans to ensure their safety are looking more closely at tyres, lights, brakes and gas fittings.
