    Are there any? Are there any that dont rip you off on the site fees? going up ever year? rip you off with the gas and electric?
    Have to buy the van off them? have to sell it back to them? 
    I have never seen one, anywhere.

    I wouldn't abandon your 2 dogs at a caravan park I would take them to a pet rescue centre 😄.

    As the poser above put are there any that do all the things you need/want?

    Given that this is in the holiday section, I’m presuming the OP just wants a week away and they’re not planning on selling their soul just yet. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I’d sign up to the emails for the bigger company such as Haven and ParkDean, Hoseasons et cetera if they operating that part of the world. 
    They do dog caravans, and it depends what you want- I just use them as a base. I never use the club or the other facilities and I’ve had some pretty reasonable holidays with the offers that come out.

    We took our two dogs up to Dumfries & Galloway earlier this year and stayed at Auchenlarie Holiday Park. It wasn’t too pricey, plenty of space for walking the dogs, and the park itself was really clean. Friends of ours go to Haggerston Castle in Northumberland and rate it as good value too, especially off-season. Both are pretty dog-friendly, so might be worth a look.
