My Experience of Staying in a Caravan as a Child

posted on 6 February 2012 | posted in Holiday and Travel


When I was a child we didn't go on many holidays, mainly because we didn't have a lot of money and going abroad was quite an expensive thing to do in those days. Occasionally though we did hire a caravan - we couldn't afford the caravans for sale in our area - and go somewhere for a week or two. I used to love these holidays, there is something quite exciting to a child to live in a caravan for a couple of weeks. Perhaps it is the entirely different way of living, or the unusual aspect of being able to take a couple of steps and being outside, or maybe just the sense of adventure and being somewhere new. I used to love just climbing down from the caravan and being able to look at the sea or the surrounding countryside. I'm not sure I would like it so much now though, the size of the caravans, which seemed quite big when I was a child, would seem cramped now and probably drive me crazy!
