When you do search, look directly at park availability rather than only general search results, since some late deals or short breaks don’t always surface through a general web search. Being flexible on which park you book, rather than fixed on one location, also widens what’s on offer considerably. If your priority is getting away this weekend rather than a specific spot, checking two or three parks in the same general area rather than just one tends to turn something up.

There isn’t one single answer to how far ahead you should book, because it depends heavily on when you actually want to go.
Confirm exactly what’s included in your stay versus what costs extra. Bedding, towels, a welcome pack, use of the pool or clubhouse, these vary considerably from park to park and even between different unit types on the same park, so it’s worth getting a straight answer before you book rather than after you’ve paid.
If you’ve never stayed in a static caravan before, it’s worth knowing roughly what you’re walking into, because it’s usually a pleasant surprise rather than anything to be cautious about.
Space is often the deciding factor for families. A static caravan holiday gives everyone a bit of breathing room, somewhere for the kids to watch television while the adults have a cup of tea in a separate area, which a single hotel room rarely manages without someone being under everyone else’s feet.
