Caravan and Camping Scheme
AA pennant ratings
Caravan parks and campsites are inspected and rated using a one to five black Pennant rating. This is an assessment of various factors including customer care and hospitality, toilet facilities and park landscaping, based on the inspector's experienced opinion. The percentage score runs from 50% to 100%, and indicates the relative quality of parks with the same number of pennants. The Pennant ratings increase with the quality and variety of facilities a park offers. The top level is classified as a Five Pennant Premier Park, with a merit score.
The AA Pennant rating is only based on the touring pitches and the facilities at campsites and caravan parks. AA inspectors do not visit or report on rented static caravans or chalets.

Holiday centres
Holiday Centre is the term used to distinguish a park that caters for all holiday needs. Anyone staying on one of these parks will have no need to go elsewhere for meals or entertainment. Holiday Centres provide:
- a wide range of onsite sports, leisure and recreational facilities
- supervision and security of a very high level
- a choice of eating outlets
- touring facilities of equal importance to statics
- a maximum density of 30 pitches per acre
- clubhouse with entertainment provided
- automatic laundry
Holiday Centres also receive a percentage score between 50% and 100% to differentiate quality levels within this grading. Like the Pennant rating, this percentage is reassessed annually.
