Ahead of the May bank holiday, GO Outdoors has analysed a list of 105 of the UK’s leading caravan parks to whittle it down to a definitive top ten.
With the exception of a site in Scotland taking the number one spot, all of the locations can be found in Somerset, Devon or Cornwall.
The experts at GO Outdoors used criteria such as average pricing, visitor ratings and amenities to rank the parks.
Points were awarded for being pet friendly and the availability of a games room, swimming pool, entertainment options and on-site shops, as well as the proximity to the beach.
A spokesperson from GO Outdoors said: “A caravan holiday is the perfect setting for bonding with friends or family while enjoying scenic landscapes.
“From coastal routes to wilderness getaways, these holidays provide a unique experience with comfort and convenience.”
