As an owner, you’ll have the privilege of returning to your holiday home as and when you please, meaning you’ll want to choose a park that’s as convenient as it is charming.
With 20 parks in the most desirable locations across North Wales and the Lake District, whether you’re raring to go or ready to relax, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, all our parks are unique and dotted in the best destinations, from blue flag beaches to countryside escapes.
Consider the following factors to find a park that suits your needs:
- How often do you intend to visit
- The park experience and facilities
- The local area
Book an ownership park visit
To get a feel for what it would be like to own a holiday home on one of our parks, we recommend you visit the park(s) you’re interested in, and discover all about the lifestyle that ownership could bring, and provides you with an enjoyable, relaxed and informative visit, where you can ask as many questions to our experienced team, from matching your needs to the right caravan with your budget in mind, to taking you through all the finer details so you are fully informed if you decide to join the pride.
- The journey to the park – making the journey will give you an idea of the length and complexity of the route. Can you imagine yourself making the trip multiple times and can friends and family easily get to the park too?
- Access – if you have mobility issues or small children, the terrain and size of the park may be a factor to consider. As you explore, you’ll learn if the park will work for your needs.
- The atmosphere of the park – this will depend on time of year you visit so you may also need to think about seasonality here.
- Places around the park – are there enough dog walking areas for the furry family member? Are there attractions nearby if you like to explore? How far is it to the nearest town, village or beach and can you walk to it?
- On-park facilities – you’ll be guided around all the facilities during you visit and you could always factor in some time to enjoy some of them while you’re there. Availability will vary by season and park, so please ask the park team about what you can do on the day when arranging your visit..

Frequently asked questions
Yes of course! However, this will be guided by the size of your holiday home and plot availability. New development areas only allow for new holiday homes.
Yes our parks are all dog friendly. All we ask is that owners ensure their dogs are kept on a lead at all times and waste is disposed of appropriately.
Yes you can sublet* your new static caravan. New static caravans that have mod cons and specs, naturally become more attractive if you intend on subletting, and our owners have managed to earn substantial amounts through subletting. *Subject to Holiday Park
Every park has a 20 year age limit that starts from the date of manufacture. Once the holiday home reaches 20 years of age the park manager will inspect the unit. As long as they are happy the unit meets health and safety standards, along with park standards, then the park operator will be happy for you to remain on the park. The caravan will then be inspected on a yearly basis or before should there be concerns.
Absolutely, holiday home ownership is all about enjoying time with friends and family building memories together.
It all depends on which park you’re at. We range from 7.5 month seasons to 12 month seasons.
Unfortunately as a non-residential park, all holiday homes must be vacated for a short period each year. Please contact the park directly for further details.

Owning a static caravan as a holiday home is about lifestyle, jumping in the car on a Friday after picking the kids up from school and making every weekend a holiday, or simply escaping the rat race and having an escape where you can choose your pace.
With monthly repayments from as little as £239 a month for endless holidays, it’s cheaper than paying for a 7-night holiday abroad…
With flights and package holidays soaring in price in the last 2 years, according to data from Travelsupermarket.com. a 7-night getaways to Greece last summer costs an average of £867 per person, this means it would cost £289 a month for a family of four over 12 months for just 1 week holiday, that’s not considering any additional costs like airport parking, additional luggage charges, transfers, the list goes on
