There’s nothing quite like a caravan touring holiday, the freedom to explore, the comfort of your own space, and the joy of discovering new places at your own pace. Whether you’re heading off for a weekend break or an extended adventure, careful planning can make all the difference.
We welcome touring guests all year round and have seen firsthand what turns a good trip into a truly memorable one. So, if you’re planning your next touring getaway, here are our top tips for a smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable caravan touring holiday, and why our park in Worcestershire might just be the perfect base for your adventure.
1. Choose the Right Touring Caravan Park
Your choice of park is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning your trip. Look for somewhere that’s not only convenient but also offers the comfort, space, and atmosphere that make you feel at home.
Our spacious touring pitches, peaceful riverside location, and modern facilities make us a favourite among travellers. We’re just two miles from Worcester city centre, close enough for sightseeing, but far enough to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.
It’s the ideal base to relax after a day of exploring or to simply sit back and watch the River Severn flow by.
2. Plan Your Route. Worcester Makes a Great Stop!
Before setting off, map out your journey and plan where you’ll stop along the way. Worcester is a fantastic destination to include on your touring route, rich in history, surrounded by scenic countryside, and easily accessible from major routes.
When you stay at The Ketch Caravan Park, you’re perfectly positioned for exploring the local area, from Worcester Cathedral and the Malvern Hills to the charming riverside walks nearby.
3. Pack Smart and Keep It Simple
Packing can be tricky on a touring holiday, you want to bring everything you’ll need, without overloading your caravan. Essentials include:
At The Ketch, many of our touring guests enjoy setting up an outdoor area beside their caravan, the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drink while watching the sun set over the Severn.
4. Check Everything Before You Travel
A quick pre-journey check can save a lot of hassle later. Make sure your caravan’s tyres, lights, and brakes are all working properly. Check your towing gear, and if you’re new to towing, consider a short practice drive before hitting the road.
At our park, we have easy access and wide pitches, making it simple for both new and experienced caravanners to settle in without stress.
5. Book Your Pitch Early
Touring holidays are becoming more popular every year, especially during the warmer months. If you have specific travel dates in mind, it’s best to book your pitch early.
Early bookings mean you can choose your preferred pitch, whether you want to be near the facilities or closer to the river. Our team is always happy to help you pick the best spot for your stay.
6. Make the Most of Local Attractions
Once you’re settled in, it’s time to get out and explore! From our park, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Worcestershire has to offer.
Stroll through the historic streets of Worcester, visit Worcester Cathedral, or enjoy a walk or cycle along the River Severn right by our site. The Malvern Hills are just a short drive away too, perfect for breathtaking views and fresh country air.
And when you’ve had your fill of adventure, you can head back to The Ketch for a peaceful evening in your caravan.
7. Enjoy the Touring Lifestyle
Caravan touring is more than just a holiday; it’s a lifestyle. It’s about slowing down, connecting with nature, and enjoying the simple things in life.
Our touring guests love the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at The Ketch Caravan Park. It’s easy to strike up a chat with fellow travellers, share a few stories, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
8. Stay Organised and Comfortable
Keeping your caravan tidy helps make life on the road so much easier. Use storage boxes, hanging organisers, and foldable items to maximise your space.
Our well-maintained facilities, including clean showers, toilets, and washing-up areas, mean you can travel light and still enjoy all the comforts of home during your stay.
9. Travel at Your Own Pace
One of the best things about a touring holiday is that you set the pace. Whether you want to stay a few nights or make Worcester your main stop for a week, our flexible touring pitches make it easy to plan your trip your way.
Many of our guests at The Ketch choose to extend their stay once they arrive, and it’s easy to see why!
