Caravan Parks following WW11 were immensely popular. After a time of rationing and doing-without, a
park providing comfortable housing and entertainment along a river or ocean was
welcome. Families visited these parks in droves.
An English mystery, George
Gently, had an episode that centered around a death in one of these
parks. The time period of this episode was in the late 1960s, when cars were more available, allowing families to drive themselves to
all sorts of places. This particular
park was on the down slide.
In Ireland, Hazel and her family had a standing reservation, year
after year, at one park...only no murders were part of the holiday experience. While her children and husband enjoyed this park,
Hazel was not/is not as woman who sits around tea and gossips. Mindless conversation is not/was not her
interest.
In 1984, our family was traveling around Ireland, Wales, and England. We spent one week at a simlar camp in Wales. Compact holiday houses (not caravans) were comfortable with all the facilities available.
Later in 1987, we visited another such park in Ireland, Trabolgan Cork. (You must access that site, by clicking on the underlined words. You will love the advertisement!). Great times there. Just the break we needed.
