  • Where Can I Site My Static Caravan? Your Complete Parklink Guide

    Have you recently bought a static caravan?

    Wondering where to site it?

    You won’t find yourself short of choice, and Parklink is the perfect place to start your search. 

    You’ll have found the perfect location for your home-away-from-home in no time.

    Site Your Caravan in a Static Caravan Park

    As the name suggests, you can site your caravan in a static caravan park, and it’s the route a lot of caravan owners take.

    These sites are purpose built, and they have everything ready for you – the plot, utilities and services are all set up and waiting for you to arrive.

    Finding a park that will accept your existing caravan can be challenging, which is why most buyers tend to choose a caravan already on the holiday park they’re interested in. 

    Part Exchange Static Caravans

    If you already own a static caravan on a holiday park and fancy a change of scenery, part exchange could be your best bet.

    This approach allows you to:

    • Move to a new park, whilst upgrading your caravan at the same time
    • Sit back and relax, and let the park handle the removal and sale of your existing holiday home
    • Potentially swap your caravan for one of theirs, on a secure a spo

    Parks offering part exchange services take care of all the logistics, making your move much smoother.

    “Bring On” Services

    Some static caravan parks offer a bring on service, which allows you to site your own caravan on their premises. 

    Parks are more likely to accept this arrangement when they have spare pitches available, as it generates additional income.

    Site a Static Caravan on Your Own Land

    You could decide to site a static caravan on your own land, either land that you already own, or you could buy land specifically for that use.

    This gives you complete control and a long-term base in your chosen area, whilst also offering flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

    Before buying land, make sure to:

    • Check planning permissions and local regulations
    • Verify that siting a static caravan is allowed
    • Consider access routes for delivery and services
    • Research utility connections and costs

    Your Very Own Back Garden Caravan

    If you’re lucky enough to have a lot of land, you might not need to venture too far from home.

    Siting a static caravan at home can provide:

    • Extra accommodation for family members
    • A dedicated home office space
    • A peaceful retreat in familiar surroundings

    The Easiest Place to Site a Caravan? Buy Direct on a Holiday Park

    If you haven’t purchased your static caravan yet, consider buying directly from a park. 

    This approach eliminates the challenge of finding somewhere to site it, and you can focus on enjoying your new caravan straight away.

    Buying from a holiday park often means:

    • Immediate availability of a pitch
    • Established relationships with holiday park management
    • Ongoing support and maintenance services
    • Warranty and service

    Where Will You Site Your Static Caravan?

    Each option has its benefits, and the right choice depends on your budget, location preferences and holiday plans. 

    Whether you choose a bustling holiday park or the tranquillity of your own land, the perfect spot for your static caravan is out there waiting for you.

    FAQs: Where Can I Site My Static Caravan?

    No, you can’t put your caravan just anywhere and hope no one notices. You need to choose a holiday park or private land, as long as you have planning permission.

    Your best bet is probably a holiday park. Some parks let you bring a caravan from another park, but more prefer if you buy a static caravan that’s already sited with them.

    No, that’s not usually an option. Haven parks rarely accept caravans bought elsewhere. They want you to buy a mobile home that’s already sited with them.

    Most parks don’t accept caravans over 15 years old, though some extend the rule to 20 years. This keeps the caravan site standards high and makes sure units are safe and insurable.
