On-site facilities are worth checking properly rather than assuming. Look at what's actually included in your stay versus what costs extra, whether the pool, if there is one, is heated and what hours it runs, and whether there's anywhere on site to eat if you don't fancy cooking every night.

Confirm exactly what's included in your stay versus what costs extra. Bedding, towels, a welcome pack, use of the pool or clubhouse, these vary considerably from park to park and even between different unit types on the same park, so it's worth getting a straight answer before you book rather than after you've paid.

If you're travelling with children, pack a beach bag that stays by the door, buckets and spades, a windbreak if you have one, sun cream regardless of the forecast, and a full change of clothes kept in the car rather than the caravan, since sandy, wet children rarely want to walk back for it. Bikes are worth bringing if your park has cycle paths or is close to a coastal trail, and a car boot cool bag makes packed lunches for day trips much easier.

Self-catering is the biggest single saving available. A static caravan Tingdene Holiday Parks UK, with its own kitchen, means you're choosing when to cook and when to treat yourselves to eating out, rather than paying restaurant prices for every meal of the trip by default. For a family or group of any size, this alone tends to be the single biggest saving compared with a hotel-based break, where every meal usually comes at hotel prices.

If your break falls within school holidays, particularly the summer holidays or half terms, book as early as you reasonably can, ideally several months ahead. These are the weeks every family with school-age children is trying to book at the same time, so the best weeks, and often the more sought-after units within those weeks, go first. Waiting until a few weeks before a summer half term usually means choosing from whatever's left rather than what you'd actually prefer.

The key decision is how you split everyone across accommodation. Larger static caravans, often three-bedroom units, can comfortably sleep a wider family group under one roof, which suits families who want everyone together for meals and evenings but still want separate bedrooms for a good night's sleep. If the group is bigger still, booking two adjoining or nearby units, one for grandparents and one for the rest of the family, gives everyone their own space to retreat to while keeping you close enough to wander over for a cup of tea or to hand over the children for an hour.
