Okay, so the line about them being well known behind the bar seems odd to me if this was a holiday getaway. Is that implying that they vacationed there very often or something? In the US a comment like that would be reserved for people who live there.
Caravan owners will often holiday in them frequently, though others will mostly/exclusively use them as holiday lets. I believe that they can't be occupied all the time (maybe 10 months in a year) so no permanent residents (I could be wrong on that though.)
I've only ever been to a caravan park in a caravan that you tow but my understanding is that you can live in a static almost all year round so I guess they probably spent most school holidays there or something like that
“Well known behind the bar” is sometimes a polite way of saying he was perhaps a very regular customer .
