Finding the perfect caravan for your family holiday home can feel overwhelming. With so many options available, it’s important to know what to look for and how to make the best choice. Whether you want a cosy static caravan or a spacious lodge, I’m here to help you navigate the process. We have amazing deals on pre-owned and new static caravans and lodges across the west coast of Scotland, with models starting from as little as £9,995. Our parks are pet-friendly and offer a welcoming Owners community with long 11.5 month seasons. Let’s explore how you can find the right caravan that fits your needs and budget.
Understanding Your Needs: The First Step in Buying Caravans Guide
Before you start browsing through listings, it’s essential to understand what you want from your caravan. Ask yourself:
How many people will be staying regularly?
Do you want a static caravan or a lodge?
Will you be visiting mostly in summer, or do you want a year-round holiday home?
Is pet-friendliness important to you?
What kind of facilities do you want nearby?
Knowing the answers to these questions will help narrow down your options. For example, if you have a large family or often host guests, a lodge with multiple bedrooms and spacious living areas might be ideal. On the other hand, a smaller static caravan could be perfect for a couple or small family looking for a cosy retreat.
Our parks offer a choice of woodland and coastal locations, so you can pick the environment that suits your lifestyle best. Plus, with long seasons of 11.5 months, you get more time to enjoy your holiday home.

Key Features to Look for When Choosing a Caravan
When you’re ready to look at specific caravans, keep these features in mind:
Size and Layout
Consider the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Open-plan living areas are popular for their spacious feel. Think about storage space too.
Heating and Insulation
Since Scotland can be chilly, good heating and insulation are vital for comfort during colder months.
Kitchen Facilities
A well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances makes holiday cooking easier and more enjoyable.
Outdoor Space
Look for caravans with decking or patios where you can relax and enjoy the fresh air.
Pet-Friendly Options
If you have pets, make sure the park and caravan allow them. Our Owners-only pet-friendly parks create a great community atmosphere.
Condition and Age
New caravans come with warranties and the latest features, but pre-owned models can offer great value if well maintained.
Price and Financing
Set a budget and explore financing options if needed. We offer some of the most affordable prices on brand new lodges and static caravans, and we will beat any competitor’s price.
By focusing on these features, you can find a caravan that fits your lifestyle and budget perfectly.
