The 25 Best Motorhome and Caravan Parks in the UK

One of the joys of owning a motorhome or caravan is that you get to stay in some of the most stunning parts of the world. Whenever our motorhome and caravan insurance customers take out a policy, we like to try and find out where their most popular holiday locations are, and of course, the UK is obviously a big one.

Quite often we ask our customers where they've been and what they liked about different motorhome and caravan sites. And this has enabled us to produce a list of Sureterm Direct's most popular UK caravan and holiday parks. It's by no means a definitive guide, because there are more than 3,000 sites in the UK. But it is a list of the 25 best sites in the view of our motorhome and caravan insurance customers. And let's face it, the views of the people who actually use these sites is the most valid.


So without further ado, here's the Guide To The UK's 25 Best Motorhome and Caravan Parks.
