PARK FAQs
How long can I use my Harrison holiday home?
All of our parks have a minimum of a 50 week season, meaning that you can use your holiday home every year from March – February.
How long is the licence?
Here at Harrisons we are proud to offer an unlimited license. So you can sit back and relax and use your holiday home for as long as you like.
Can I bring my dog to my holiday home?
100% our four-legged friends are key members of our families and going on holiday without them would not feel the same. As our parks are in countryside locations, there are many great walking trails for you all to enjoy together.
Do you have internet or wi-fi available to the caravans?
All our holiday homes have the ability to have a booster to run high speed internet to the caravan or lodge. This means you could even catch up with some work whilst relaxing at your retreat or catch up on the TV shows you’ve missed.
What is the difference between a caravan and a lodge?
The main differences between homes and lodges are size and price
Static caravans
are half the width of a lodge (up to 14ft wide) and can come in a variety of lengths to suit your needs. The range of static caravans available start with very basic fixtures but can also be extremely luxurious depending on your budget.
Holiday lodges
offer the ultimate in luxury. They are double the width of a holiday home (up to 22ft) with lots of exterior and interior design options. The first thing you’ll notice is how spacious and open plan they feel. Like holiday homes, the price range varies from entry level through to complete luxury.
Will I own the land of the pitch I choose?
You will be the proud owner of a holiday home or lodge, but not the land itself. Your annual site fees cover your right to occupy a pitch, as long as you adhere to our park rules.
What are the park rules?
A copy of the park rules would have been provided at the welcome meeting. If you need a full copy of the rules, please speak to a member of the ownership team.
What benefits do you get as an owner?
Our Owners can look forward to events throughout the year, helping you meet new friends and feel part of a community. As an owner you can offer friends and family a 15% discount on a holiday at one of our Harrison Leisure parks.
