Sheltered & secluded in a pleasant garden setting. The site is licensed for
75 static caravans with a few Tourers & Tents, set within six acres of land.

There is also a small play area for the children with a paddling pool.
The Holiday Caravans for Rent are all connected to water, drains and
electricity. There is a boundary hedge to the rear of the caravans & a large
grassed area to the front with parking for one vehicle.
Our 6 berth caravans are let on a weekly basis from 1 pm Saturday to be
vacated by 10 am Saturday. We also hire them out for ‘Short Lets/Casual
Hire’ if we have any last minute availability. They are equipped for holiday
purposes, with pots, pans, cutlery, duvets and pillows, we ask you to supply
your own personal linen i.e. sheets, pillowcases, towel and Tea towels.
All the caravans have a gas fire, cooker, fridge, electric kettle, toaster &
colour TV, a bathroom with toilet, washbasin & shower with hot and cold
water. There is a double bedroom, a Twin bedroom and a Sofa bed in the
lounge in all caravans from 2002.
Pets are welcome on our Park and in some of our caravans but we ask you not
to allow them onto the furniture or beds, they must not be left alone in the
caravan. Please do not let them fowl the Park especially the Camping Fields,
accidents do happen but please clean up after them.
There is a nice 'Doggy Walk' down a lane at the rear of the Park.
The Village of Markington.
The Caravan Park is situated behind one of the village Inns. Both of the
Inns are owned by the caravan
park and both have kept most of their original features including beamed
ceilings and stone flagged
floors. Both serving traditional Ales with The Cross Keys serving Bar Snacks
