Bristol gives static caravan buyers easy access to some of the West Country's best-known scenery, with the Mendip Hills and Chew Valley Lake under an hour away, alongside the city's shops, transport links and Bristol Airport.
Static caravans for sale in this area range from budget-friendly starter models to larger holiday homes with decking, hot tubs and open-plan interiors. Prices depend on the caravan's age, size and the facilities offered by the park.
Check each park's site fees, age limit on caravans and holiday-letting rules before buying, since these vary from park to park.
Most parks set a maximum age for static caravans, often between 10 and 20 years, after which the caravan must be replaced or removed. Ask the park for its specific age policy before buying.
Static caravans are usually holiday accommodation rather than a permanent residence, so there's typically a limit on how many months of the year you can stay, and you can't use one as your main address.
Alongside the purchase price, most parks charge an annual site fee, plus separate costs for insurance, utilities and upkeep of shared facilities. Ask for a full breakdown before committing.
Standard mortgages don't cover static caravans, but some lenders offer specialist holiday-home or leisure finance. Many buyers also pay in cash or use a personal loan.
Most parks charge a resale or assignment commission, so check the park's resale terms before you buy, since this can affect how quickly and easily you're able to sell in future.
