There are many things that attract people to caravanning, but the community feel of staying on a dedicated touring site is a major draw, according to the Camping and Caravanning Club.
Spokesman Jon Dale said many caravanners actually opt to stay on sites close to home, as they see a caravan break as an opportunity to get together with the family, rather than a chance to take a holiday somewhere new.
“Nowadays people work in different parts of the country and when you are at work every day you don’t get that time to spend with the family,” he explained.
“So when people stay, there is this real community feel about it. People come together when they go on a caravan holiday and embrace the concept.”
The Camping and Caravanning Club owns more than 100 holiday parks across the UK, as well as 1,400 small, privately-run certified sites housing just five caravans, which are available to members only.
