We have found that knowing how long our tow vehicle and RV set-up is has helped us to be in the box seat when we making requests such as these .
ASKING FOR DISCOUNT
We all know that caravan park costs can quickly add up and eat into your holiday budget . One way to generally save some money is through park chain memberships if their locations are part of your touring itinerary .
Outside of the park chains , there are still opportunities to obtain discounts , especially for multiple-day caravan park stays . But your power of negotiating a discount doesn ’ t come by just walking in off the street . In our experience , we ’ ve found it ’ s all about how you go about asking for a discount .
You ’ ll need to take time and do some homework beforehand . If the town has multiple parks , then you ’ ve already got a bit of leverage you can use before making a phone booking . Any savings you can make on accommodation by being given a discount for a multiple-day stay isn ’ t to be scoffed at , as it ’ s money that can go straight back in your pocket .
SUMMING UP
So the next time you ’ re looking at staying at a caravan park , it really comes down to a little planning to get the best out of your stay .
Taking some time to research where you ’ d like to stay in advance could very well be the difference between a caravan park stay being memorable for all the right or wrong reasons .
If a caravan park doesn ’ t offer drivethrough sites , that ’ s not always a bad thing .
