Caravan and holiday parks bring unique toilet facility challenges
Designing toilet blocks for caravan and holiday parks presents unique challenges, especially when balancing functionality with comfort. During peak summer months, these facilities must be able to comfortably accommodate many people. Beyond basic toilets, the inclusion of showers, changing rooms, and laundry areas is essential, adding complexity to design.
Externally, the focus is on cost-effective, standard styles rather than ultra-modern architectural statements. These structures need to blend seamlessly into their surroundings and maximise value. The interior is critical. A welcoming, home-like aesthetic is crucial. Warm lighting, clean and spacious layouts, and quality fixtures all contribute to a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Caravan park facilities must also cater to the diverse needs of entire families, from young children to elderly members. This requires thoughtful consideration of accessibility features, child-friendly amenities, and attention to privacy.
Key considerations for success
Balancing these elements ensures that the toilet blocks not only meet practical demands but also provide a pleasant environment for all.
We recommend a design that leverages our mini orb panelling. Mini orb is a durable, corrugated steel material and ideal for internal cladding in high-wear areas like public toilets. It won’t scratch and the ribbed profile is hard to dent or damage. Opting for a colour finish such as Surfmist will make it feel homely.
Choose porcelain pans and install skylights for a natural light experience that further improve the ambiance.
Also ensure universal access cubicles are equipped with essential fixtures such as baby change tables and handrails for disabled users. And select a reliable hot water system to guarantee hot showers at all times.
Good lighting will help deter vandalism and help road users feel safe while at the holiday or caravan park. A shade shelter attached to the toilet facilities themselves also improves usability.
