Static caravans in Shropshire are sold on holiday parks with a defined season, typically running from March to January, and are intended for holiday use rather than permanent residence. Many parks offer on-site facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouses, fishing lakes and country walks, making them popular with families and retirees alike.
Shropshire's holiday parks are well placed around Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Church Stretton and Ellesmere, giving easy access to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Welsh border countryside.
