Why Caravan Park Safety Matters

Caravan parks bring together vehicles, gas appliances, electrical leads, cooking areas, children, pets and changing weather conditions. Good safety practices reduce avoidable risks and help everyone enjoy their stay with greater confidence.

Simple principle: Learn the park layout, check your own equipment, and follow the local safety rules.

Six Safety Areas Worth Checking

Find exits, assembly areas, the office, first aid points and nearby emergency equipment.

Fire equipment

Children and shared roads

Supervise children near roads, pools, driveways, playgrounds and busy communal areas.
