Park buyer guides
Research the park before you fall for the caravan
We currently cover 53 parks with holiday-home ownership. The upholstery is rarely the expensive surprise. Site fees, licence terms, season length, resale rules and the park itself matter rather more once the sales tour is over.

Aberdunant Hall
Aberdunant Hall Holiday Park
Aberdunant Hall is a woodland holiday park near Porthmadog aimed more at peace, walking and access to Eryri than big-resort entertainment. It sells both static caravans and holiday lodges, with new, used and some private-owner stock advertised through the park.

Talacre Beach Resort
Talacre Beach is a large, facilities-led North Wales resort close to the beach. It suits buyers who want swimming, entertainment, food and family activities on the park rather than a quiet base with minimal facilities.
Read buyer profile →Haven
Hafan y Môr Holiday Park
Hafan y Môr is a large Haven resort near Pwllheli with direct beach access, a major indoor water park, an Adventure Village and dedicated owners' facilities. It is best treated as a resort purchase rather than simply a pitch for a caravan.

Cornwall

Parkdean Resorts
Newquay Holiday Park
Newquay gives you the full Cornish-resort version of ownership: beaches, a busy town and plenty happening nearby. It suits buyers who want energy and convenience more than a hidden-away retreat.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Lizard Point Holiday Park
Lizard Point puts ownership on the far-south Cornwall side of the map, with beaches and villages doing more of the selling than urban convenience. It is a better fit for buyers happy to trade a longer drive for a more distinctly Cornish base.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
St Minver Holiday Park
St Minver is the calmer Cornwall option in this group, with woodland surroundings and access to north-coast villages and beaches. It is the one to compare if Newquay feels a little too much like being on holiday with everybody else.

White Acres Holiday Park
White Acres is a countryside park near Newquay with a particularly strong fishing identity. It makes most sense for buyers who will actually use its lakes and on-park facilities rather than simply treating the caravan as a bed near the coast.

Devon
2 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Bideford Bay Holiday Park
Bideford Bay is the north Devon choice here, pairing coastal access with a larger family-park feel. It is worth comparing if you want scenery and facilities but do not need the beach literally at the end of the pitch.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Challaborough Bay Holiday Park
Challaborough Bay is a south Devon beach-first proposition. The beach is the obvious reason to buy here, so the real question is whether you want that immediate coastal setting enough to justify the full ownership cost.

Norfolk
5 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Breydon Water Holiday Park
Breydon Water sits close to the Norfolk Broads and offers a practical base for buyers who want waterways, coast and Great Yarmouth within reach. It is more about location and flexibility than postcard-pretty seclusion.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
California Cliffs Holiday Park
California Cliffs is one of the more straightforward Norfolk seaside choices, with the beach within walking distance and a livelier park atmosphere. It suits buyers who want the park itself to be part of the holiday rather than merely somewhere to sleep.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Cherry Tree Holiday Park
Cherry Tree is a Great Yarmouth-area option aimed squarely at family holidays, with pools and entertainment on park and the coast a short drive away. It is less about isolation and more about having things to do when the weather behaves like British weather.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Heacham Beach Holiday Park
Heacham Beach is a calmer west Norfolk proposition, with the beach on the doorstep and Hunstanton close by. It should appeal more to buyers who value coast and a relaxed atmosphere than a constant entertainment schedule.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Manor Park Holiday Park
Manor Park is the Hunstanton option, close enough to the beach to make spontaneous evening walks realistic rather than theoretical. It suits buyers who want a recognisable seaside town nearby and do not mind a busier summer setting.

Lake District
4 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Fallbarrow Holiday Park
Fallbarrow sits on Lake Windermere at Bowness and is very much a premium-location purchase. Buyers are paying for a genuinely useful lakeside base as much as the holiday home itself.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Gatebeck Holiday Park
Gatebeck is a quieter, owner-focused countryside park near Kendal. It makes more sense for buyers who want peace and access to the wider Lakes than for anyone expecting a large resort on the doorstep.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Limefitt Holiday Park
Limefitt is the Troutbeck Valley choice, with a countryside setting and some of the highest published starting prices in Parkdean's current range. It is a location-led purchase and needs to be judged as such.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
White Cross Bay Holiday Park
White Cross Bay combines a Windermere lakeside position with more on-park facilities than some of the quieter Lake District alternatives. It is a useful middle ground for buyers who want scenery without giving up an indoor pool.

Scotland

Eyemouth Holiday Park
Eyemouth is a south-east Scotland coastal option that keeps the Scottish Borders and Northumberland within reach. It is a sensible choice for buyers who want Scotland without committing to a Highland-length drive.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Grannie's Heilan' Hame Holiday Park
Grannie's Heilan' Hame is one of the far-north options, near Dornoch. The attraction is obvious for Highland lovers, but the journey should be treated as part of the ownership decision, not a minor footnote.

Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park
Nairn Lochloy gives buyers a Moray Firth base with coast, golf country and the Highlands nearby. It suits people who will use the area repeatedly, not those merely seduced by one very good summer week.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Sandylands Holiday Park
Sandylands is an Ayrshire coast option with one of the lower published entry prices in Parkdean's current Scottish range. That makes it worth comparing, but annual pitch costs still deserve more attention than the headline bargain.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Southerness Holiday Park
Southerness sits on the Solway coast and suits buyers who want beaches, open views and a southern Scotland base. It is a different proposition from the Highlands: easier for many English buyers to reach, and rather less dramatic about it.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Sundrum Castle Holiday Park
Sundrum Castle is an Ayrshire countryside option rather than a direct-beach purchase. It is better suited to buyers who want a general west Scotland base than people who insist on stepping out of the caravan onto sand.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Tummel Valley Holiday Park
Tummel Valley is the inland Scotland choice in this batch, aimed at buyers who want hills, woodland and a central-Highlands feel rather than the coast. It is a strong fit for walkers if the location will genuinely get used.

Wemyss Bay Holiday Park
Wemyss Bay gives buyers a Clyde coast base with ferry connections and west-coast scenery nearby. It is particularly worth comparing if island day trips and a shorter journey from the Central Belt matter.

Yorkshire
4 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Barmston Beach Holiday Park
Barmston Beach is one of the quieter Yorkshire coast options, with the beach close by and a more relaxed park feel than the biggest resorts. It is worth a look if Bridlington appeals but you do not need to be in the middle of it.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Cayton Bay Holiday Park
Cayton Bay sits between Scarborough and Filey with the beach immediately below the park. It suits buyers who want a scenic Yorkshire coast base but still like having plenty going on nearby.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Skipsea Sands Holiday Park
Skipsea Sands is a facilities-led East Yorkshire option with fishing, a pool and a substantial investment programme announced for 2027. It is worth comparing for families, but ask exactly what will be open and when.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Withernsea Sands Holiday Park
Withernsea Sands is one of the lower-entry-price Yorkshire options, close to the beach and pitched at buyers who want a straightforward seaside base. Its published 2026 site fees are also relatively transparent by industry standards.

Essex
5 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Coopers Beach Holiday Park
Coopers Beach is an Essex coast option that works best for buyers wanting an easy-to-reach eastern base rather than a once-a-year destination. Compare it on journey time as much as facilities.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Highfield Grange Holiday Park
Highfield Grange is the Clacton-area choice and makes most sense for buyers who actively like a classic seaside-resort atmosphere. If your idea of escape is quiet countryside, the clue is in the geography.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Naze Marine Holiday Park
Naze Marine puts buyers at Walton-on-the-Naze on the Essex coast. It is a more location-specific choice than a generic Essex park, and should appeal to people who already know they like this stretch of coastline.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Valley Farm Holiday Park
Valley Farm is another Clacton-area ownership option, so its real value is in how the exact park, pitch and annual costs compare with nearby alternatives. Do not choose between neighbouring parks from a brochure alone.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Weeley Bridge Holiday Park
Weeley Bridge is the more inland-feeling Essex option in this group, useful for buyers who want the coast within reach without making the beach the entire point of ownership.

Isle of Wight
3 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Lower Hyde Holiday Park
Lower Hyde gives buyers an Isle of Wight base near Shanklin. Island ownership is a different calculation from mainland ownership because every spontaneous trip starts with a ferry.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Nodes Point Holiday Park
Nodes Point is the east-Island choice and carries a higher current starting price than Parkdean's other Isle of Wight parks. The location may justify it for the right buyer, but ferry costs belong in the ownership budget too.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Thorness Bay Holiday Park
Thorness Bay has the lowest current published entry price of Parkdean's Isle of Wight trio. That makes it an obvious comparison point, but ferry travel and annual pitch costs still matter far more than a cheap-looking first number.

Camber Sands Holiday Park
Camber Sands is a beach-led south-coast option with one of the UK's most recognisable stretches of sand nearby. It suits buyers who want the beach to be the main event rather than a day trip.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Romney Sands Holiday Park
Romney Sands is a quieter Kent-coast proposition close to Dungeness and the Romney Marsh landscape. It is a more distinctive setting than the typical bucket-and-spade resort and will suit some buyers much more than others.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
St Margaret's Bay Holiday Park
St Margaret's Bay gives buyers a Kent coast base near Dover and the White Cliffs. The appeal is access and scenery rather than being buried deep in a holiday-resort bubble.

Lancashire
3 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Ocean Edge Holiday Park
Ocean Edge is a Morecambe Bay-area option for buyers who want Lancashire coast access without travelling into Cumbria. It works particularly well as a frequently used base for people already in the North West.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Regent Bay Holiday Park
Regent Bay is the Morecambe option, useful for buyers who want straightforward access from the North West and a traditional seaside town nearby. It is a practical rather than remote escape.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Todber Valley Holiday Park
Todber Valley is the inland Lancashire choice, better suited to buyers who want countryside and access towards the Yorkshire Dales than a beach resort. That makes the comparison with coastal parks genuinely useful.

North East
5 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Church Point Holiday Park
Church Point is a Northumberland coast option for buyers who care more about sea, walks and location than a huge entertainment complex. It is the kind of park where the surrounding coast should be part of the decision.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Cresswell Towers Holiday Park
Cresswell Towers offers a lower-entry-price route into Northumberland ownership. It should be compared closely on exact pitch position, annual costs and how often you would realistically use the stretch of coast around it.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Crimdon Dene Holiday Park
Crimdon Dene sits on the County Durham coast and is one of the lower published entry-price options in the North East. The important comparison is not just purchase price but pitch, views, season and the full annual bill.

Sandy Bay Holiday Park
Sandy Bay is a Northumberland coast option with a traditional holiday-park feel. It suits buyers who want beaches and family use more than people seeking a tiny owners-only retreat.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Whitley Bay Holiday Park
Whitley Bay is the most urban-connected North East option in this batch, making it attractive for buyers who want beaches without giving up easy access to Newcastle and Tyneside.

Wales
3 parks
Parkdean Resorts
Brynowen Holiday Park
Brynowen is a west Wales option for buyers who want coast, countryside and a base that feels more like an escape than an extension of a large town. The published entry price is attractive, but the annual ownership sheet still matters more.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Carmarthen Bay Holiday Park
Carmarthen Bay gives buyers a south-west Wales base with coast and countryside within easy reach. It is a practical choice for people who will explore the region rather than spend every visit entirely on park.
Read buyer profile →Parkdean Resorts
Pendine Sands Holiday Park
Pendine Sands is a beach-led ownership choice in Carmarthenshire. It makes most sense for buyers who genuinely want repeated access to this stretch of coast rather than simply liking the phrase 'seven-mile beach' in a brochure.
