In addition to looking for caravan insurance, taking the time to thoroughly research where you want to visit can be one of the most important steps you take before embarking on a holiday of this kind.

By doing this, you can be sure that you will find a site that appeals to you and every member of the party you are travelling with, whether it is just you and your partner, your family or friends.

If you are stuck with where to start looking, here are three of the best sites in the UK.

Wales has long been a popular destination for caravan and camping breaks because of its gorgeous landscape and plentiful beaches and Talacre Beach Caravan and Leisure Park in Flintshire is a prime example of this.

Holder of a Wales In Bloom award and the David Bellamy Gold Award for conservation, this site is a great place to choose as it benefits from well-kept grounds and a range of facilities to keep you and the kids entertained.

Outside the camp's boundaries you can visit the nearby beach and admire its huge sand dunes, or take a stroll to the 17th century lighthouse. There is also a nature reserve to explore, while you will certainly appreciate the laidback vibe you experience here.

Indeed, you may enjoy yourselves so much that you consider purchasing a permanent base on the site and by taking out caravan insurance you can be sure your investment is protected when you aren't there.

For a more romantic break where you can spend every day in the great outdoors there is nowhere better than the Lake District. As England's most famous national park, hundreds of holidaymakers flock here every year to admire the scenery.

If you want to enjoy this but also escape the crowds, Turner Hall Farm in the Duddon Valley of Cumbria could be a good base. The pitches here are affordable and you will be able to admire largely unspoilt views from your caravan window. You will also be within easy distance of natural landmarks like Coniston Old Man and Harter Fell.

However, if you are planning a trip with the kids you may be swayed by a place that boasts plenty to keep them entertained on-site. Hendra Holiday Park in Newquay is a safe bet as there is a dedicated kids' club, two fun pools and plenty of other attractions. You can also choose from 12 fields, with many spacious pitches between them. While here, you will be able to use an under-cover area to wash dishes in, visit the nearby supermarket to stock up on essentials and benefit from numerous electric hook-up points.

However, the site itself is not the only draw of a holiday here. Newquay is one of the UK's most popular destinations thanks to its golden beaches and lively atmosphere. You could have a go at surfing during your stay, visit the Blue Reef Aquarium or check out the Japanese Garden and Bonsai Nursery. To make the most of your time in Cornwall, head for the Lappa Valley Steam Railway for a trip that allows you to see the region in style.

Before you start packing your bags though, why not search for cheaper caravan insurance' You may find you're left with some extra spending money to enjoy on your trip.
