If the pipes are buried deep enough they shouldn't be. Ground acts as insulation. Most likely it will be frozen where the pipe comes out of the ground and into your caravan.
Our first winter in the caravan (moved in end of Oct) was a bad winter and at -18 the water pump cracked in half. The water pipe was only under bales of hay for a small section, but held out pretty well. The section between the caravan and the ground seemed to freeze quite easily but easily defrosted with a bit of heat.
Edit: still if you heat the section of pipe you can get to the heat of the water will help defrost the pipe.Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

Well the water has just stopped coming out the taps
Could it be a cracked pipe as a frozen pipe defrosts? Seems strange that you have no water just as most areas are warming up.

Crikey :eek: I know ours were buried pretty deep. I think there are regulations as to how deep the pipe has to buried 18inch minimum spring to mind ( don't quote me on that though)
It seems to me that the owners of park you are on seem to have taken a lot of short cuts. Firstly, about the electric and now the water what next? I think you all need to get together with the other residents and get something done.Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

No they didn't then.
