Why Book a Hotel When You Could Stay in a Caravan That Works for Everyone?

A row of caravans on a caravan park surrounded by trees
Hotel stress? No thanks. Let’s face it, some types of accommodation just weren’t built for stress-free holidays. The kind where the kids are happy, the dog’s welcome, and you get to actually relax instead of frantically Googling “things to do near me” before breakfast.

Crammed into one hotel room. No space to unwind once the kids are asleep. No fridge for snacks. Nowhere to dry your swimwear. You spend more time navigating corridors and schedules than making memories. 

Now… picture this instead:

You’ve got your own space. Bedrooms for everyone. A kitchen for family meals (or takeaways when you just want to relax). Activities and entertainment a short stroll away. The dog’s not at the kennels - they’re with you, sniffing out new adventures. 

Welcome to caravan holidays, the Waterside way.

Hotel Life vs. Caravan Life

Hotel Life:

  • Sharing a room with a toddler who wakes at 5am
  • No space to unwind when the kids are asleep
  • Trying to keep everyone quiet and entertained in one room
  • Hunting down restaurants that work for picky eaters
  • Paying extra for parking, pets, WiFi
  • "So... what are we doing today?" (Again)

Caravan Life at Waterside

  • Separate bedrooms, space to stretch out, and no shared walls with strangers
  • Kitchen, lounge, bathroom, privacy
  • On-park bars, restaurants, takeaways and shops - or the option to cook your own meals
  • Kids clubs, splash zones, evening shows, activities daily
  • Dog-friendly options, from dog trails to restaurant spaces
  • Everything you need, all on your doorstep

It’s Not Just a Caravan - It’s Your Holiday HQ

Your place to come back to and refresh. Your space to play games and relax together in front of a good film. Your place to sip coffee on your decking. Your place to watch the sunset from your hot tub. Whether it’s Dorset or Cornwall, your caravan becomes your personal base for beach days, long, sunny evenings, and those “best day ever” moments. 

And don’t worry - this isn’t old-school static caravanning where you have to plug yourself into water and electric mains or figure out levelling blocks after a five-hour drive. At Waterside, everything’s ready when you arrive. From our classic range to luxury lodges, there’s something for everyone.
