Holiday Parks in the UK

British holiday parks range in size, style, cost and location. Of the more than 150 parks in the Findparks directory, over 140 of them have at least one swimming pool. There are numerous 9 hole golf courses and even more crazy golf. For those of you who need to stay connected but don’t want to pay extra, there’s free Wi-Fi at Butlins, Hoburne, John Fowler, Park Holidays UK and Parkdean. At Findparks we list parks from all the major holiday park operators within the UK.

The traditional holiday park is simply a short term rental caravan park (the UK version of the trailer park). Unlike most other caravan parks, the caravans themselves are not owned by the occupants, who instead rent them for periods as short as 3 days. However, holiday parks have truly become holiday destinations for families, couples and groups of friends.

Starting with their location, often by a beach or in quieter and beautiful parts of the country, they have facilities to cater for their target audience. Butlins and Pontins have a huge range of activities and entertainment to keep families busy, while at the other end of the spectrum some of the destinations have just a few activities like mini golf and a fishing lake, allowing for a more relaxed getaway.

The important thing when you’re trying to find the perfect holiday park to visit is to remember who you’re taking with you, and decide what activities and facilities you can’t do without, and where in the country you’d like to go, especially if there are nearby attractions you’d like to take in. Findparks features an interactive map of every UK holiday park allowing you to filter by operator, facilities and distance from the beach, and still focus on the region that’s most convenient or attractive to you.
