Toilet and shower blocks

Clubhouse

Different clubhouses provide different activities and facilities for you to use, but generally speaking, having things such as; pool tables, dart-boards and board games is ideal. You may find that some clubhouses provide weekly activities as well, from quizzes, bingo games and dart championships to live entertainment, discos, karaoke nights and parties, and these can be great fun to get involved with.
Swimming pool
If you’re looking for a seasonal pitch or a lodge at a holiday park that you can use during the summer months, a swimming pool will also be a great facility to have. Whether this is an indoor swimming pool or a heated outdoor swimming pool, you can guarantee that this is something you will use on a regular basis during your stays at this time of the year. If the swimming pool is outdoors, having sun loungers around it will be a nice touch too.
24/7 CCTV
Whilst you might not necessarily think of security as a ‘facility’ it is something that you should be looking out for when choosing a holiday park. At the very least, you should make sure that a holiday park has CCTV, this will prevent any worry in regards to damage being caused to your caravan/motorhome or lodge. Additional security, such as fob operated rising bollards, is really advantageous to have as well.
Beautiful surroundings
As touched on above, location is a factor to consider when deciding whether a holiday park is right for you and being well-situated shouldn’t be overlooked. In addition to looking for somewhere that is a short drive away from a town or city and tourist attractions, take into consideration the actual site of the holiday park too.
