Static Caravans For Sale: What You’ll Get & How to Choose

Static caravans are one of the most popular and accessible ways to own a holiday home in the UK. If you’re browsing this section, you’ll find a wide selection of static caravans for sale, with reviews designed to help you decide if one is right for you. Compared to lodges, statics tend to be more compact, more affordable, and lower in running costs — but with trade-offs to consider. Below is what our reviews show, who static caravans are best suited for, plus what to watch out for when choosing one.

What Our Static Caravan Reviews Cover

When you look through our static caravan reviews, here’s what you’ll find:

  • Layout, internal space & flow: We go through the number of bedrooms, size of the living/dining/kitchen area, how open or compact the layout is, where storage is placed. Some caravans maximise space cleverly; others might sacrifice things to hit price points.

  • Interior finish & fixtures: What do the kitchens and bathrooms feel like? Are the fittings modern or basic? Do the interiors have stylish touches, comfortable furnishings, decent insulation, double glazing where relevant? We flag “good extras” versus more modest features.

  • Exterior & pitch suitability: What the caravan looks like from outside, the quality of cladding, type of windows/doors, veranda/deck options, and whether the pitch location, orientation or surroundings add value or create compromises (e.g. views, privacy, sun exposure).

  • Pros & Cons: We balance what’s great and what could be better. For example: a caravan might be excellent value and in a beautiful location but might lack large storage space, or might feel cramped for a larger family.

  • Who it’s for: We try to make clear which buyer profiles are best suited to each caravan — whether it’s for weekend breaks, summer holidays, for couples, small families, or first-time owners on a modest budget.

What to Look Out For When Choosing a Static Caravan

  • Storage & layout: Even if a caravan is compact, clever storage makes a big difference. Wardrobes, cupboards, possibly outdoor storage options. Test how much space each bedroom or living area really offers.

  • Insulation & heating: Check if the caravan has good insulation, double glazing, efficient heating system. If you expect to visit in cooler months or want shoulder-season use, these are critical.

  • Build quality & manufacturer reputation: Find out how durable the materials are, how well the caravan has been constructed, and how well the manufacturer supports spares/after care.

  • Size & pitch suitability: Ensure the pitch in the park you want can accommodate the caravan (width, length, orientation). Outdoor space, decking potential, view, sunlight all matter.

  • Running/hidden costs: Site fees, utilities, maintenance, insurance, upkeep of exterior, etc. Know what each park charges; check age rules, licensing, how much annual fees rise.

  • Style preferences: Some static caravans are ultra modern with sleek finishes, others are more traditional or “cosy” in feel. Choose what will make you happy returning to it again and again.

  • Resale potential: Think ahead — what will resale look like? Sites that are well-maintained, models from good brands, good condition, good location tend to sell better.
