Devon Holidays Together: Camping, Touring and Static Caravans for Different Households

Planning a Devon holiday together can become complicated when one household owns a touring caravan, another enjoys camping and someone else wants an indoor base that is ready on arrival.

You do not necessarily need to persuade everyone into the same style of accommodation. Parkers Farm offers camping, touring and static caravan options, so you can enquire about stays on the same dates while choosing arrangements that suit each household.

This is a planning approach, not a promise that adjacent accommodation or a particular group arrangement will be available. Discuss the complete proposal with the park before making individual bookings.

Agree on the essentials first

Start with dates, the number of households and each party’s preferred accommodation. Make a simple list of adults, children, dogs, vehicles and any particular requirements.

Decide which points are essential and which are preferences. Staying during the same week may be essential; being immediately next to one another may be desirable but unavailable.

Talk about budgets early. Different accommodation choices can have different total costs, so allow each household to compare its own booking rather than expecting identical spending.

Let each household choose a suitable stay

For campers, consider tent size, electric requirements and sleeping equipment. For touring guests, check vehicle dimensions and the complete awning arrangement. Static caravan guests should review bedroom layouts and occupancy.

Do not allocate people to accommodation purely to reach a maximum capacity. Families may be happier with slightly different dates or another layout than with an arrangement that makes everyday routines awkward.

Compare camping, touring caravan and motorhome options and static caravans before settling on the plan.

Send one coordinated enquiry

Choose one person to make the initial enquiry and explain the whole proposal. Include preferred dates, accommodation types, party sizes and the relationship between bookings.

Ask whether the park can accommodate the parties at the same time and whether any positioning requests are possible. Confirm how the individual bookings should be made and identified.

This reduces the risk of one household reserving a stay before the others know whether suitable options exist. It also gives the park a clearer picture than several separate enquiries that do not mention the shared plan.

Understand what is and is not included

Ask about occupancy, additional vehicles, visitors and the park’s conditions for groups. Separate bookings do not automatically allow extra tents on a pitch or visitors to stay overnight in another household’s accommodation.

If you hope to gather for meals, clarify practical arrangements and respect the space and quiet of neighbouring guests. Do not assume a group holiday means access to a private event area or permission for a party.

Read the booking terms and conditions and ask about anything unclear before paying.

Plan shared time without filling every day

Agree on a few moments you want to enjoy together. One outing, a meal or an afternoon activity can provide shared memories without requiring every household to follow the same timetable.

Young children, older relatives and keen walkers may want different days. Allow that flexibility from the beginning rather than treating a separate outing as a problem.

If you plan to use on-site dining, check opening times and ask about arrangements for your party. Do not assume a larger table will be available simply because everyone is staying at the park.

Organise transport sensibly

Discuss who will drive on days out and whether passengers can travel together comfortably. Motorhome owners may prefer some days when their vehicle remains on the pitch, but that should be agreed rather than assumed.

Check parking at the destinations you choose. A plan that works for a car may need adjustment for a larger vehicle. Allow each driver to follow the park’s recommended arrival guidance for their setup.

Keep responsibilities clear

Each household should understand its own booking, payment dates and cancellation conditions. Keep shared plans in one place, but avoid relying on a single person to remember everyone else’s requirements.

For children, agree supervision arrangements explicitly. Being on holiday together does not automatically mean every adult is responsible for every child at every moment.

If one household needs to change its dates, contact the park and revisit the shared plan. Do not assume changes to one reservation automatically alter the others.

Frequently asked questions

Can we book different accommodation for the same dates?

Enquire with the park about availability across the accommodation types you need. Matching dates are subject to availability.

Can our pitches and caravans be next to each other?

Ask about positioning, but do not assume adjacent allocations can be provided across different areas of the park.

Should we make separate bookings immediately?

Start with a coordinated enquiry, then follow the park’s instructions for the individual reservations.

Can dogs come with our group?

Declare dogs for each relevant booking and confirm the applicable conditions and accommodation suitability.

Is this an organised group-holiday package?

No. This guide explains how to enquire about separate stays together. Any group arrangements need agreement with the park.
