If you are planning a caravan park holiday with your family this year, here are some tips that will help you make the most of your trip and have the best family getaway possible!

• Make sure to do some research before you go about the type of caravan that will work best for your family’s needs. Consider how much room your children will require and whether or not they will share a sleeping area or have their own separate spaces.

• If you have babies or young toddlers who sleep in a cot, call ahead and ask if the caravan park offers cots as part of their holiday package. It is good to know in advance, in case you need to pack your own.

• Take with you the essentials for breakfast such as bread, eggs, cereal milk and fruit, so that you can have your breakfast first thing in the morning without having to go anywhere first. You can also take with you some food to cook in the caravan to cut down the cost of eating out at restaurants for every meal.

• To make cooking in your caravan even easier, you can prepare several meals in advance, such as curry, chili or spaghetti Bolognese, so that you can simply keep them frozen and heat them up when needed. This saves you from having to take all of your ingredients with you.

• Make sure you bring along extras of everything, including your cutlery, cups, blankets etc. Even if you have enough for yourself, there might be someone else in the next caravan who has forgotten something and lending it to them is part of the friendly holiday experience of caravanning.

• Most caravan parks will allow you to take your dog along with you on your holiday, but it is always a good idea to check this before you make your booking to make sure everything is fine when you get there.

• Make sure that you bring along plenty of books, magazines, games and toys to entertain your kids on the long drive. Once you are there at the caravan park, there will be plenty of things to do to keep them busy!

• Taking a slow cooker with you can be a brilliant way to cook foods in your caravan. All you need to do is to add the ingredients in the morning and let it cook while you spend the day sightseeing or relaxing on the beach. When you return in the evening, your dinner will be ready for you.

• Give yourself some time to relax. Trying to pack too much into a holiday can leave you feeling stressed and exhausted and not like you have really had a break at all. Make sure that you plan for extra time in your holiday when the kids can make sandcastles on the beach or play on the playground and you can simply relax with a good book and sit in the sunshine for a while.

These are just a few tips to keep in mind to make the most of your trip. Have a great time on your family caravan holiday!
