England

Overlooking the Crimple Valley this is one of the most sought-after touring caravan sites in Yorkshire. It's conveniently located near Harrogate, York, and Leeds, making it a great destination for those looking to explore these cities alongside their visit to the countryside.

The neighbouring town of Bridlington is well worth a visit with its long stretch of beach, pre-Roman harbour, and characterful Old Town.

#3 –  Middlewood Farm Holiday Park, Whitby

Robin Hood's Bay had to be included on our list of dream caravan staycations. Better still, Middlewood Farm Holiday Park itself is an award-winning place to stay.

The park is a mere 10-minute walk from the main beach and 15-minute drive from Whitby— another historic seaside town that was once allegedly home to Captain Cook.

Major attractions can be found nearby, including:

#5 – Avon Wood Holiday Home Park, Lake Windermere

Avon Wood Holiday Home Park is a great contender if you're after an indulgent holiday in the Lakes this half-term. Opt for one of their static caravans, and you'll have your own hot tub to enjoy when you're not walking the peaks of Cumbria.

The site offers tranquillity by being small and off the beaten track. Yet, it's based near the popular town of Bowness-on-Windermere, so civilisation is still within your reach.

Chasing the sun this half term? While it's never guaranteed in February, there's no better place to improve your chances than on England's sunshine coast.

#8 – Hendra Holiday Park, Newquay 

February half-term caravan holidays always carry the risk of rain, but the Oasis Fun Pools at Hendra Holiday Park mean there's always a backup plan.

The beautiful coast of North Cornwall is on your doorstep, so you can hit the beach when the sun comes out. Plus, the town of Newquay is known as the surfing capital of England for a reason – where else can you find twelve sandy beaches to choose from?
