Only parks with coordinates on file appear on the map — this fills in as parks get geocoded.
Filter by location like anywhere else — then filter the park itself: dogs in the clubhouse, no holiday hire fleet, by the coast or in the hills. Independently researched, park by park, from each park's own website.

We're starting with the best possible search of holiday-home parks — the listing and "claim your park" tools are next, once the search side has real visitors.
If you run a park and want to be notified when you can claim and manage your own listing, get in touch and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready.

Straight answers for first-time buyers — no jargon, nothing assumed.
No — a static caravan or lodge isn't legally "land and bricks", so it doesn't qualify for a standard residential mortgage. Most buyers either pay cash or use a specialist holiday-home/leisure loan, which some manufacturers and dealers offer directly, usually over 5–15 years. Interest rates on these tend to be higher than a mortgage, so always get the real monthly figure in writing before you commit — not just the headline price of the home itself.
Treat it as a lifestyle purchase, not an investment. A new static caravan is a depreciating asset, similar to a car — most lose value every year, especially in the first few years. Lodges tend to hold value a bit better and for longer, partly because they're built to higher, more house-like standards. Either way, the ongoing site fees (below) mean you're very unlikely to "make money back" by selling later — the appeal is the holidays, not the resale.
The sticker price is only part of it. Add the annual site fee (next section), insurance, gas/electricity/water, and — if you're financing the purchase — the loan repayment. Use the calculator on this site to see all of those added together as one realistic monthly figure before you fall in love with a specific home.
The site fee (sometimes called a pitch fee or ground rent) covers your plot of land, the park's shared facilities and upkeep, and usually your connection to water, drainage and the electricity network. You don't own the land your home sits on — you're licensed to keep your home there, and the site fee is what keeps that licence (your "pitch agreement") running. It's due whether or not you actually visit that year.
They vary a lot by park, location and facilities — roughly £3,000 to £7,000+ a year is a common range, more at premium coastal parks with pools, spas or entertainment. Site fees almost always rise annually, often in line with inflation (RPI) or a fixed percentage set out in your pitch agreement. Always ask a park directly for last year's rise and what's written into the agreement — don't assume this year's fee is next year's fee.
Beyond the site fee: insurance (specialist static-caravan/lodge cover, not standard home insurance), gas and electricity (some parks bill usage separately, some include a flat amount), water/drainage (often bundled into the site fee — check), and general upkeep (decking repairs, skirting, annual gas safety checks). Many parks also charge a one-off commission if you sell your home through them later, typically a percentage of the sale price.
Only if the park allows it — this varies a great deal. Some parks run their own managed hire fleet and don't allow private subletting at all; others actively encourage it and help you list it. We show each park's policy on subletting and on running a hire fleet where we've been able to confirm it, so check the park's own listing before assuming either way.
Many UK holiday parks operate under a planning condition that requires them to close for part of the year — commonly 10–11 months, with a closure period in January and/or February. This is a planning/licensing rule for holiday-use sites, not the park being shut for maintenance. During the closed period you can't stay in your home at all, even briefly. A smaller number of parks have year-round planning permission (shown as a 12-month season on our listings); these are usually more sought-after and can carry a premium.
Generally no. Holiday parks almost always have a planning restriction preventing permanent/full-time residency, and your pitch agreement will usually require you to have a main home registered elsewhere. This is a different category of site to residential park homes, which are a separate type of property altogether. If full-time living is what you're after, a holiday park isn't the right fit — always ask a park directly about its specific residency rules before buying.
Most parks set a maximum age for homes on their pitches — often 10, 15 or 20 years, sometimes with a model-year cutoff that moves forward each year. This protects the park's overall look and means you can't keep an ageing home indefinitely, however good its condition. We list each park's age-limit policy where it's been confirmed — check it against the age of any specific home you're considering.
