If you’re interested in private caravan rentals UK sites have many available, all over the country. Renting a caravan is still an economical way for a family to enjoy a holiday, and private rentals can be found all over the UK, from Cornwall and Devon to the Scottish countryside.
Although many private caravan rentals UK are located on established sites or parks, some are in a field or situated on the owner’s private land. Many caravan owners post their rental on property or vacation rental sites; these sites let you compare price, amenities and location as well as browse photos and read customer reviews. Location is one of the most important considerations; you may have to decide between a coastal location or something more rural, and distance from the shops, restaurants and other amenities will be a factor, especially if you’re caravanning with children.
As a general rule, expect to pay around £405 for a week’s rental, although of course the price can vary based on location, size of caravan, amenities and the time of year. In general, you’ll pay less for a private caravan rental during the spring and autumn than during the height of the summer. Caravan sites in popular resorts can often be completely booked up a long way in advance, and booking ahead of time is recommended. Ask the owner about the age of the caravan too, if that isn’t immediately apparent; an older model may not have the features and level of comfort you’re expecting.
Caravans can feel cramped after a few days for a family of four, and making sure everyone has enough space is a must. Bedrooms tend to be small, and extra beds may be in the form of a sofa which is folded out at night and curtained off. Teenagers may find that it isn’t enough privacy. One solution is to book a caravan with one more bedroom than you actually need; that room can then be used for storage although it pays to pack lightly for a caravan holiday anyway. Most caravan rentals come with some sort of outdoor space, which may be a private patio or deck. And if you’re renting on a holiday site, you can probably make use of the facilities, such as a pool, shop, restaurant, games room and laundry.
A private caravan rental can be an affordable and enjoyable way to have a family holiday, and it’s worth taking time to get the perfect rental.
