Find your dream location
Once you’re clued up on the basics it’s time to consider the best location for your home. Your home will be hard to move once it’s sited so you need to be happy with your chosen park. Here are just a few things you might want to consider:
- What activities do you like doing?
- How far are you willing to travel if you’re visiting it regularly?
- Is it dog friendly?
- Will the kids have plenty to do?
- Would you prefer an adult only park?
- Does the park have all the amenities you need close by?
- Do you have any accessibility requirements?
- Most importantly, can you make lots of memories there?
- Is your park a member of the National Caravan Council (NCC) or (British Holiday & Home Parks Association)?
Before you decide on your location, we highly recommend shortlisting a few parks and visiting them so you can find out about fees, special offers, and the local area.

Pick your dream pitch
You may be on your pitch for a few years so it’s important consider a few things before you reserve anything. Consider things like:
- Do you want peace and quiet or a lively atmosphere?
- Do you want to make the most of the sun on a south-facing plot?
- What’s your budget? Remember – pitches with views tend to cost more.
- Are views important to you?
- Is the pitch big enough for the Victory you want, plus any additional features like decking?
- What are the neighbours like?
- Do you need ample parking?
- Do you want the park to maintain your plot or are you happy to do it yourself?
You can sometimes move your home to another pitch on the park but there are often costs involved so it’s better to get it right first time.
