Help shape your future council websites

New websites are being developed for East Surrey Council and West Surrey Council ahead of their launch in April 2027. 

Take part in a short survey to help make sure those websites are easy to use. The survey takes just 5 to 10 minutes.

Apply for a caravan site licence

Do I need a caravan site licence?

Sites used for holiday caravans and camping need a licence from us to operate. The licence includes conditions which require fire safety, toilet and washing facilities for campers. 

You do not need a licence to run a caravan site if:

  • forestry workers, builders or seasonal workers (like fruit pickers) stay in caravans on the site
  • the site is five or more acres and there are three or less caravans there for 28 days or less a year
  • you're a member of an organisation like a caravan club and have a caravan exemption certificate
  • your site is approved by an organisation with a caravan exemption certificate
  • members of an exempt organisation stay in their caravans on the site
