Finding a particular park is easy to do once you know what your needs are and learn which parks can accommodate these needs. For families with kids, I recommend choosing luxury lodges with some sort of activity such as a swimming pool or playground. Are you bringing the family dog with you? Find a park which permits animals.

One of the first things you'll notice during your parks research is that most luxury lodges and log cabin holidays come in different layouts and sizes. This may affect your decision of campsite. Another important factor to keep in mind is the time of year you plan on traveling. If you plan on taking your vacation during the busier months of the year, it is highly likely that you will get limited selection of places to stay. Many park sites book in advance. So always plan ahead of time and avoid any such disappointments.

Here is one secret I learned from a well season traveler of caravan parks. When choosing a site, look to see how well-tended the grounds are. The condition of the grounds helps to give an overall idea of how friendly the site is for camping and extended stays. Owner-operated holiday parks tend to provide a more friendly service compared to chains. Always see what types of basic amenities are offered on the grounds, such as toilets.

Hopefully, some of my tips and experience with luxury lodges and log cabin holidays have helped you get a better idea of how to go about choosing quality camping sites for you and your family. All that's left is to pack up the caravan and get ready for a great campfire! Whether you are thinking of taking a caravan holiday for the first time or you return to the same park every year, there are some ways you can make the most of your time away.
