At the end of 2010 we asked Caravan Times readers to vote for their favourite caravans, parks, dealers and towcars in the inaugural Caravan Times Reader’s Poll.
Generally award ceremonies tend to have judging panels comprising of industry figures or journalists. Yet we at Caravan Times feel that the most important views are from the actual users of caravans and facilities. We wanted to give you the readership the chance to give credit where due, and celebrate the best of 2010.
This week we have been announcing the winners of each category. Today we look at which caravan park and dealer became winners of their awards.
Bunree Caravan Club Site: Best Caravan Park of 2010
We had some great suggestions in the ‘Best Caravan Park’ category – ranging from smaller independent sites to specialist parks like the adults only Sommers Wood.
However Best Caravan Park 2010 was the Bunree Caravan Club Site in Fort William. Situated on the banks of Loch Linnhe, caravanners making the journey to the Eastern reaches of the Scottish coast are compensated for their efforts with breathtaking views across the Loch and beyond to the mighty Ben Nevis.
With its five star rating from the Scottish tourist board it proved to be a worthy winner. Click here for more information on the Bunree Caravan Club Site.
Bardsea Leisure: Dealer of the Year 2010
Dealer of the Year 2010 was awarded to Bardsea Leisure, an independent firm located in the southern reaches of the Lake District. The firm have a range of new and used caravans, motorhomes and accessories on sale from their premises in the Furness Peninsula.
Yet Bardsea are worthy winners as they offer a complete experience for the caravan shopper. The premises double up as an attractive touring park set in ten acres of landscaped grounds. Customers are awarded a free two night stay at the park while handing over their caravan.

Congratulations to both winners, and a big thank you to all our readers who sent in emails and voted for their favourites in the forum.
Look out tomorrow for the results of Best Towcar of 2010 – as voted for by Caravan Times readers.
