What is a caravan holiday home?
A caravan holiday home is a spacious, well designed caravan that is permanently located on a pitch. It still retains its wheels so it can be moved if necessary, but often has semi-permanent features such as a veranda. Typical 'statics' have 1 to 3 bedrooms, a bath / shower room, kitchen, dining area and lounge. Sizes range from about 28 to over 40 feet long by 10 or 12 feet wide.

What is the approximate cost of a caravan holiday home?
Obviously this is very dependent on the make, model, size and interior fittings you choose. As a guide you should expect to pay between £25,000 and £80,000 for a new model including all your furniture and kitchen appliances. We have a close relationship with Kendal Caravans and we recommend you choose from their extensive ranges. If you are on a budget you can pick up a pre-owned bargain for between £5,000 and £20,000.

How do I go about buying a caravan holiday home at North Lakes?
The first step is to decide on your budget, what sort of design you need, and find a supplier (we recommend Kendal Caravans). You will need to make sure that the holiday home you intend to buy is technically designated a caravan, otherwise we cannot site it at North Lakes. We can help you with this process and manage your purchase for you free of charge. The biggest advantages to you are a single point of contact offering impartial expert advice and no hassles with arranging transport or scheduling installation, etc.

Where can I site my caravan holiday home?
Once you have decided on your caravan you will need to pay a visit to North Lakes. We can then help you choose your location on the site. We have several areas, each with a slightly different character. A wooded area by the meadow provides spacious, private pitches, whilst the higher ground to the right of the main road offers superb views to Skiddaw and beyond. It is important to us that you are happy here, so we will try to site your caravan holiday home where you prefer. To arrange a visit please complete the enquiry form or call us on 017687 76510.

Is the purchase price of my caravan holiday home the only cost?
Like any home there are other costs involved, both one-off at installation, and on-going. One-off costs include transportation, installation fees, and additional work (such as fitting a veranda). On-going costs include ground rent, seasonal maintenance, gas and electricity, etc. For a breakdown of our fees please click here.

Can I visit or live in my caravan holiday home all year?
To comply with our site licence we are only permitted to open for caravans and tourers between 1 March and 14 November each year. So for 2½ months of each year you will have to leave your holiday home caravan empty. Also, these holiday homes are not designed for full time residential occupation.
