Buying a static caravan is a big decision, and it’s worth taking some time to think through what you really want from it before committing. For most people, the first choice is using the caravan purely for personal escapes. Your focus might be on location, comfort, and community feel within the park.
Location is the single biggest factor when choosing a static caravan. Parks in prime Lake District spots like Windermere, Ullswater or Keswick tend to cost more, not just for the caravan itself but also in site fees. Slightly further out, you can often find more affordable options while still being within easy reach of the Lakes. It’s also worth checking park facilities — some offer piers, slipways and lakeside access, while others focus on peace and quiet.

Finally, think about the model and specification that suits your lifestyle. Newer caravans come with double glazing, central heating, and modern layouts that make them comfortable year-round. Pre-owned caravans can be much cheaper and still provide a cosy getaway, though they may lack some of the latest features. Always view a caravan in person if possible, to check its condition, and don’t be shy about asking detailed questions.
