CARAVAN USER
Caravan user has been set up to give disabled members of the public (specifically wheelchair users) the ability to find all the information they need to plan the perfect holiday without the worrying if a site is disabled friendly or not.
Each site that has been reviewed by Caravan User will have a full review pointing out all the necessary information a disabled wheelchair user will need, i.e. park surfaces & condition, access to park amenities, pitch surfaces & condition, terrain of the park and many other things that able bodied people innocently take for granted. There will also be pictures of the site and important areas and a video showing you the directions to the site and also around the site to enable you to literally see before you go. www.caravanuser.co.uk
