  • Caravan parks are usually a form of vacation home (often rented out by the owner) so although they sound like a trailer park, they don’t have the connotations of “trailer trash”.

    The parks are often in a resort-like setting, with video arcades, bike rental, mini golf, cafes and clubs.

    The clubs can be family-oriented so it’s not unusual to have kids there too.

    Here’s where I spent several happy childhood trips, feeding 10p’s into arcade machines: there’s an arcade next to the club. The family would spend each evening in the club which had a bar and live entertainment every night (I mean songs, comedy etc, not erotic dancers).

    Looking at it now, it does have a low-budget vibe (there were communal washrooms, no toilet or shower in our caravan!), but as a kid, I loved it.
