They are also referred to as campgrounds. Many facilities calling themselves “RV parks” also offer tent camping or cabins with limited facilities.
Caravan parks allow not only families but other groups of people as well, to spend a few nights enjoying themselves. It not only provides adventure but also helps family members to spend some quality time together. Caravan parks provide many services and facilities to the people who visit .These services may include provision of drinkable water, sewer connection and entertainment such as Television etc. Facilities may include barbecue area, exercise equipment, gift shops, showers and many more.
Caravan parks are becoming increasingly popular in Australia, Europe, New Zealand as well in North America. The reason being that they are much cheaper than what a hotel would cost and would provide greater and unique experience to the visitors; however this does not mean that all caravan parks are cheap. RV parks can range from facilities with no or limited utility hookups, as often found in state/provincial parks and national parks, to luxury resorts with amenities that rival fine hotels. These parks can be government owned or private enterprises. Some RV parks include the “Good Sam Parks” and the “Kampgrounds of America (KOA)” in USA.
