The Freedom to Get Away

Yes, these are residential homes built to a BS3632 standard with planning permission for full a residential license, meaning they are for permanent use only.

Our Merley Court park now offers Residential Licences, so if you are looking for a park home that you can live in all year round, please get in touch here.

All our other parks have holiday park licences, therefore they cannot be used to live on (Residential), but you can mainly come and go as and when you like during the 10 - 11 months (depending on the park) we are open. Our parks are subject to a 56 day maximum length of stay, with at least 7 days where you will need to be off park prior to returning. Typically, our parks are closed early January to early February.

With all new 12ft wide holiday homes costing under £60,000, you will receive a 15 year licence, whilst 12ft holiday homes over £60,000 are licenced for 20 Years.

If you purchase one of our company pre-owned caravans, we will issue a licence period depending on its age and condition. Typically, these licences will range from 12 to 18 years.

Our luxury lodges tend to come with a 30-year licence, but again this is dependent on the size and specification of the lodge purchased.

Lodges on our exclusive development, Jubilee Gardens, receive a 40-year licence.

Yes, subletting your holiday home when you’re not using it can be a great way to earn extra income to offset your running costs. You can do this yourself if you wish. As a leading holiday operator, we invest in extensive national and online marketing campaigns. This ensures that we attract thousands of holidaymakers each year, many of whom will be looking to let out a property like yours. Our fully managed letting service will allow you to remain in control at all times.

Please Note: Only private letting available at Wilksworth Caravan Park

As with owning any home, there are running costs. These include annual site fees, rates, gas, electricity and insurance. Naturally, these change from year to year. Site fees depend on your park location and they not only cover things like general park maintenance, but your entrance to all the park venues and facilities, alongside the right to site your holiday home on our park. Other things are included in your site fees too, like grass cutting and general park upkeep. Rates are also billed annually and include refuse collection, local rates, water and wastage.

All site fees displayed on our website are reflective of the normal rate of VAT (20%) being applied. 2023/2024 site fees are included pro-rata in all new customer purchases. The price of the holiday home has no reflection on the VAT rate of site fees.

Site Fees & rates may be paid over 6 or 12 months by direct debit with an additional interest charge, direct debit is provided through premium credit. Gas and electricity are metered and invoiced twice yearly.

Yes, all our parks are pet friendly and welcome well behaved pets in designated pet-friendly accommodation and onto our touring & camping parks. A supplement of £9 per pet, per day applies in self-catering accommodation and £3 per pet, per day on our camping and touring parks. Registered assistance dogs are not charged.

Just add your pet(s) to your booking when you search. We do request that dogs are kept on a lead at all times whilst on the park. If you specifically require pet free accommodation it is best to call our Reservations Team directly on 01590 648333.
