Some people think of caravan parks as a place to go on holiday, but for many people it is their permanent home. Often “Caravan Parks” aren’t really caravans, they are more permanent buildings, that you can’t just pack up and move. Sometimes parks like this may also be known as Residential Parks. Sometimes caravan parks only charge a weekly or monthly rent. In other parks you can ‘buy’ a caravan but you still have to pay rent as well. You do not own the land, so if the caravan park decides to sell the land, they can ask you to leave. See our page of issues in Caravan Parks
