No doubt most of us have been in the situation of being on holiday, having a great time, and thinking, "Woudn't it be great to live like this all year round." The idyllic setting makes us wish we could give up the drudgery of our normal weekday job, and move to the country or seaside to run a pub, or hotel, or even a caravan park!
We are constantly indundated with 'I want a job' adverts from hopefuls looking to become park wardens, 'living the dream'. Sadly only a few get lucky.
Of course, like so many jobs, the reality of being a caravan park warden is far from the peaceful and relaxed job we may imagine it to be. The smiling face that welcomes us on arrival, the cheery wave from the chap riding round on the cute little lawn mower, may hide the tired and disillusioned person who gave up the steady 9-5 secure job back home.
Our guide is meant to give an over-view of the process and problems of buying and running a caravan park. It may help, or it may put off. Either way it may help some decide whether running a caravan park really is "living the dream". |
