Terms of service between park operators and Caravan Sitefinder

Caravan Sitefinder aims to be a complete source of camping and caravanning information for our users by listing any and all caravan, motorhome, holiday home and camping sites (“Parks”) in the U.K., Ireland and France. Caravan Sitefinder (the “Website”) pass guests to a Park in the form of enquiries, click throughs and bookings.

Park listings

Park operators can promote a listing on Caravan Sitefinder at various levels with a paid package, detailed on our park operator page. Caravan Sitefinder will list Parks regardless if you are on a paid package or not. Caravan Sitefinder will not remove a Park from the Website unless it is permanently closed.

Parks will get higher levels of visibility by subscribing to a paid package. In some circumstances, free Parks will appear above paid ones in searches.

  • Edit the content including description and photos
  • Respond to reviews

  • Only to upload any content that you have the permission to
  • Our right to remove material/edit Park Operators listing if we deem anything inappropriate

Reviews

We accept public reviews for all Parks that are listed on Caravan Sitefinder. Caravan Sitefinder will attempt to remain unbiased during the reviews process.

  • Caravan Sitefinder does not remove reviews if they adhere to our User Generated Content Terms and Conditions. The burden of proof will fall on the Park owner that a review does not follow our guidelines in order for Caravan Sitefinder to consider the removal of a review.
