Turning Laundry Facilities into a Revenue-Generating Asset for Caravan Parks
For caravan park operators, guest satisfaction and revenue growth are closely connected. Visitors may choose a park for its location, scenery or leisure facilities, but they often judge the quality of their stay by the everyday conveniences that make life easier once they arrive. Clean washrooms, reliable Wi-Fi, well-stocked shops and accessible laundry facilities all shape the guest experience in practical, memorable ways. Among those services, laundry is sometimes overlooked. It rarely takes centre stage in marketing material, and few guests will book a holiday purely because a laundry room is available. Yet when families are dealing with sandy beach towels, muddy walking clothes, children’s spills or an unexpected stretch of wet weather, a reliable on-site laundry can become one of the most appreciated facilities on the park. Today’s holidaymakers expect convenience. Many are travelling with children, pets, sports equipment or limited storage space, and they want the freedom to pack lighter without compromising comfort. Longer-stay guests, seasonal visitors and touring customers in particular value the ability to wash and dry clothes without leaving the site. For operators, that convenience can translate into stronger reviews, repeat bookings and a more professional overall impression. A modern laundry room also supports the wider trend towards flexible, self-service amenities. Guests are increasingly comfortable with services they can use when they need them, at a time that suits their schedule. A well-planned laundry facility can therefore operate quietly in the background, available throughout the day, while requiring relatively little staff involvement once installed and maintained correctly. Beyond guest convenience, laundry facilities can create a steady and profitable income stream. Commercial washing machines and tumble dryers are designed for high-volume environments, where domestic equipment would quickly struggle. In busy holiday periods, machines may be used continuously by guests, housekeeping teams and site staff, so durability, fast cycle times and simple controls are essential. For many parks, a self-service laundry can turn an underused corner of an amenity block into a productive commercial space. The return is not only financial. When guests can wash clothes, towels or bedding easily, they are less likely to leave the site in search of alternatives. This keeps spend on the park, reduces disruption to the holiday experience and helps present the business as organised, practical and customer-focused. Payment technology is one of the areas where holiday park laundry has changed most noticeably. Coin-operated machines still have their place, particularly where guests are familiar with them or where existing systems are already in use. However, contactless card readers and mobile payment apps are becoming increasingly attractive for both operators and customers. They remove the frustration of needing the right change, reduce the risk of coin jams and cut down on time spent collecting, counting and banking cash. Cashless systems can also give operators better visibility. Usage data, payment records and machine performance information can help identify peak periods, popular machines and pricing opportunities. For larger parks, or sites with multiple amenity blocks, this information can support better planning and reduce downtime. Even where a hybrid approach is preferred, the direction of travel is clear: guests increasingly expect the same simple, tap-and-go experience they use in shops, cafés and other leisure settings. Good design matters as much as the machines themselves. A laundry room should be easy to find, well lit, clearly signed and simple to use. The right number and size of washers and dryers will depend on the number of pitches, lodges, seasonal guests and staff laundry requirements. Parks serving families may see different usage patterns from sites aimed at couples or touring visitors, while coastal or activity-led destinations may experience higher demand for drying wet clothing and towels. Capacity planning is therefore important. Too few machines can lead to queues, complaints and unnecessary wear on equipment. Too many can tie up capital and space that could be used elsewhere. Stackable washer-dryer combinations, compact commercial machines and appropriately specified larger-capacity models can all help operators make the best use of available room while meeting guest demand during the busiest weeks of the year. Reliability should be treated as a core part of the guest experience. A laundry room does not need to be glamorous, but it does need to work. Breakdowns during school holidays, bank holidays or peak summer weekends can quickly create frustration for guests and extra pressure for staff. Choosing commercial-grade equipment, arranging proper installation and ensuring responsive servicing can make the difference between a facility that quietly generates income and one that becomes a recurring operational headache. For park owners looking to invest in or upgrade laundry facilities, working with a specialist partner can help ensure the right solution is selected from the outset. Gillmans Commercial works with holiday parks and leisure operators to design laundry solutions tailored to their specific requirements, considering guest numbers, available space, expected usage patterns and budget. The business can also advise on suitable payment systems, from traditional coin operation through to cashless and remotely managed options, helping operators create a laundry facility that maximises both guest satisfaction and revenue potential. In an increasingly competitive holiday market, a professionally designed commercial laundry should be viewed as more than just an amenity. It is a practical investment that can generate additional income, improve operational efficiency and enhance the overall guest experience. The parks that pay attention to these everyday details are often the ones that feel easiest to stay on, easiest to recommend and easiest to return to. Get a free quote by following this link.
How to plan for changing guest expectations
Holiday park operators should consider how their accommodation can continue to meet changing guest expectations, according to longstanding lodge manufacturer Pinelog. Research by VisitEngland in 2025 found that 29% of UK adults had searched specifically for sustainable holiday accommodation. Mintel has also identified growing interest in holiday parks among Gen Z, alongside an increase in solo and adult-only visits. Pinelog Sales Account Manager Judy Barwell said: “Pinelog has been in the holiday park sector for more than 40 years and has seen significant changes in what guests look for from their accommodation. “Expectations have continued to develop since the 2020 Covid pandemic particularly around comfort, flexibility and quality.” Future accommodation investment by holiday parks should take account of changing visitor profiles, operating costs and environmental considerations, as well as the number of units available. Judy added: “Year-round use is becoming increasingly important for many operators as they look to extend their seasons and improve occupancy.” Insulation, thermal performance, ventilation, energy efficiency and long-term running costs should all be considered when selecting new accommodation. “BS3632 is the gold standard when it comes to energy performance,” added Judy. Layouts should also reflect how guests use lodges today. Open-plan living remains popular, while en-suite bedrooms, utility areas, outdoor spaces and features such as hot tubs and saunas can add value for different audiences. A varied mix of lodges can help parks appeal to extended families, couples, pet owners and guests seeking accessible accommodation. Judy said: “Quality, durability and adaptable design has always been integral to Pinelog. “This approach has enabled holiday parks to respond to changing customer needs and is a key reason for our longevity in the sector.” To find out how a Pinelog lodge could help maximise year-round income at your holiday park, contact 01246 942842 or visit www.pinelog.co.uk.
Willerby and Swift join forces to raise over £5,000 with charity sports day
Two of the UK’s leading holiday home manufacturers, Willerby and Swift, have come together for a charity sports day. The “Battle of the Holiday Homes” event brought together employees and their families for a sports day-inspired celebration filled with games, entertainment and fundraising activities. Staged at Hymers College in Hull, the event raised over £5,000 for Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) Children’s University, a charity that both companies proudly support. Families gave asmall entry donation and were able to enjoy all the activities on offer at no extra cost. The sunny weather set the scene for traditional sports favourites, including tug of war and bean bag toss, alongside face painting and arts and crafts. The headline attraction was a competitive five-a-side football match, where the friendly rivalry between Willerby and Swift took centre stage. Throughout the day, guests earned points for their company by taking part in games and challenges, with Swift ultimately crowned the overall sports day champion. The event was made possible thanks to the support of 16 sponsoring businesses, including main sponsors Columbus and Leisure Furnishings, whose backing helped create a memorable day for hundreds of families. As well as bringing colleagues together outside the workplace, the event raised over £5,000for HEY Children’s University, helping the charity continue its work inspiring children and young people across Hull and East Yorkshire. Susan Pender, Director of People at Hull-based Willerby, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be a continued supporter of HEY Children’s University and this event was a great example of the amazing things that can happen when people come together. “This sports day showcased the fantastic community spirit across both businesses and wewould like to thank everyone who gave their time, energy and support to make the day such a memorable success.” Katy Rhoades, Health and Wellbeing Advisor at Swift, which is based in Cottingham, East Yorkshire, said: “It was fantastic to work alongside Willerby to deliver such a fun and meaningful event for our colleagues and their families. “The atmosphere throughout the day was incredible and it was wonderful to see so many people coming together to support a cause that means so much to both of our organisations.” Alisa Tomlinson, Community and Events Fundraiser at HEY Children’s University, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible. From the employees and volunteers to the sponsors, stallholders and entertainment providers, so many people generously gave their time, expertise and support to maximise the funds raised. “Every pound donated helps us provide children and young people across Hull and East Yorkshire with inspiring learning opportunities beyond the classroom, giving them the confidence to discover new interests, develop new skills and broaden their horizons.”
Kendal Caravans golfers drive a £3,000 windfall for children’s charity
Golf players have swung into action in Kendal to support a children’s charity which provides free holidays for youngsters with life-threatening illnesses. And after the last ball had been sunk at Carus Green Golf Club in Kendal, it was announced that the teams had raised an impressive £3,175 for the cause. The well-attended fundraising golf day was sponsored by Kendal Caravans to provide much-needed funds for Donna’s Dream House in Blackpool. The charity says it will use the donation to benefit the children and teenagers who, along with their families, can enjoy paid-for stays in the famous seaside town. Family-owned Kendal Caravans has its headquarters in Selside near Kendal, and also a branch in Blackpool. It is today one of Northern England’s largest holiday home distributors. The charity golf day was organised by two of the business’s longstanding customers, Blackpool residents Chris and Sarah Taylor, aided by Vanda and Andrew Richardson of AR Golf Events. Prizes included a top-of-the-range Swift Sprite touring caravan for anyone achieving a hole-in-one – but despite some near misses, it returned to Kendal Caravans unclaimed! Also showcased on the day was a state-of-the-art Swift Carrera 184 campervan which drew plenty of interest from those in attendance. Kendal Caravans MD Mark Molyneaux paid tribute to everyone who had contributed to making the event an outstanding success, including the 40-plus players who took part. He also thanked the many Blackpool and Cumbrian business which had supported the day, and the company’s Blackpool Dealer Principal Phil Tabiner who had co-ordinated the activities. Mark himself is no stranger to fundraising and, as a keen long-distance cyclist, has taken part in various Cumbria and international sponsored charity rides. Kendal Caravans is an active member of the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA) with more information at www.kendalcaravans.co.uk – and the work of Donna’s Dream House is outlined at www.donnasdreamhouse.co.uk
Green holidays award for Ullswater’s The Quiet Site
The Quiet Site on Ullswater has been crowned as the UK’s Sustainable Family Business of the Year 2026 in a special ceremony held at London’s National Geographic Society. The accolade was presented to the holiday park by Family Business United which celebrates and supports family-run businesses across the country. Stepping up to receive the award from judges was Daniel Holder who, with his wife Anne and their son George, are now marking 20 years as owners of The Quiet Site. Their glamping and camping park near the shores of Ullswater has long been a cheerleader for the principles of green tourism in the Lake District. Daniel said that The Quiet Site had now achieved carbon neutral status, and is today generating 80% of its energy needs from renewable sources on-site. The park has also joined with other local businesses to introduce a community bus service in the Ullswater area which is helping to drive down congestion and carbon emissions. Speaking after receiving the Sustainable Family Business of the Year award, Daniel said that tourism and the natural world can be perfectly compatible partners: “Families taking holidays in Cumbria are vital to our rural economy and support thousands of local jobs and training opportunities,” he said. “Our visitor sector is perfectly sustainable if we all play a part in minimising our impact on the environment – and that has been our mission for over two decades. “We have invested heavily in sustainable technologies, including solar panels, heat pumps and biomass heating – and also operate a “zero waste” food shop for local people and guests. “Our family is incredibly proud of our new sustainability award, and we owe a big thanks also to our staff team who support our work and deliver a great experience for customers.” Energy-efficient staying options at The Quiet Site include luxurious underground “Hobbit Holes”, glamping cabins and holiday cottages, as well as tent and motorhome pitches. Also this summer, the park was named as national runner-up in the Federation of Small Businesses Innovation Awards held at London’s Savoy Hotel. It has additionally received the AA Sustainable Holiday Park of the Year award for 2026, and holds the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainability Development. More information about the park, which is an active member of the Cumbria branch of the Holiday and Residential Parks Association (HARPA), is available at www.thequietsite.co.uk

Is your site ready for Britain’s staycation boom?
The British staycation is no longer a passing trend. Year after year, more guests are choosing to holiday closer to home, and they arrive with higher expectations than ever. They want comfortable lodges, characterful glamping, proper amenities and the kind of extras that turn a single visit into an annual booking. For you as a park owner, that shift is a genuine commercial opportunity. The question is a practical one: is your site ready to make the most of it? For many operators, the honest answer is that the ambition is there but the route to delivery is not yet clear. Adding pitches, building new accommodation, upgrading facilities or changing how part of a site is used all depend on planning permission. And planning, particularly in the attractive rural and coastal locations where holiday parks tend to sit, is rarely straightforward. This is where we come in. Planning expertise built for parks We are the planning team at Batcheller Monkhouse, a long-established, multidisciplinary firm of Chartered Surveyors, Chartered Town Planners and Estate and Letting Agents. As an employee-owned business, we take a long-term view of our client relationships, and that comes through in how we work: practical, personal and genuinely focused on your outcome. We advise holiday and caravan park owners, landowners and estates across the country. For you, our most valuable strength is the depth of experience we bring to leisure and rural diversification schemes. We advise on the process of a park’s development. New pitches and lodges, glamping and farm stays, amenity buildings, play areas, spas, extensions and refurbishments all fall squarely within our expertise. So do the less visible but equally important pieces of work, such as site appraisals, changes of use, and appeals and enforcement matters when a project needs defending or putting back on track. Whatever stage your plans have reached, we have the relevant skill set close at hand. Why specialist advice pays for itself Park sites rarely sit in simple locations. Many of the most appealing holiday destinations lie within or close to National Parks, National Landscapes (formerly known as AONBs) or other protected landscapes, where the planning bar is higher and applications are more demanding. You may well meet questions around landscape and visual impact, highways and access, ecology and drainage, and the wording of historic occupancy conditions that were never designed with today’s holiday market in mind. None of this should prevent a good scheme. Applications simply need to be prepared properly. We have built our reputation on anticipating a local planning authority’s concernsbefore they are raised and obtaining quality consents. We have secured permission for a wide range of glamping, achieved approvals for additional holiday accommodation on established parks, and supported a variety of farm and estate diversification projects. That experience matters, because it means the advice you receive from us is grounded in what actually obtainsapproval. From vision to consent Before you commit any significant time or money, we start with a site appraisal: an honest view of what your land can realistically support, where the genuine opportunities lie, and where the obstacles are most likely to appear. A clear feasibility view at this point protects your investment and shapes a stronger proposal. It also avoids the costly frustration of designing a scheme that was never likely to be approved. From there, we manage the whole journey for you. We coordinate any specialist consultants your project needs, prepare and submit your applications, negotiate with case officers, respond to neighbour and consultee comments, discharge or vary conditions, and, where necessary, take a refused proposal to appeal or resolve enforcement issues. Throughout, we keep the process clear and manageable, so that running your park and developing it do not have to pull against each other. Staying ahead of policy change The planning system is not standing still, and you feel the effects directly. The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025, a revised National Planning Policy Framework, changes to how planning committees operate, and the continuing amendments to Biodiversity Net Gain all influence how applications are judged and what supporting information is required. Biodiversity Net Gain in particular has real consequences for any scheme that expands a site’s built footprint, and getting the approach right at the outset can save you considerable cost and delay later. Keeping pace with all of this is part of our service. We monitor policy and local plan developments wherever our clients operate, and provide practical guidance, so you can act at the right moment with the right evidence. Let’s talk this September We will once again be exhibiting at The Glamping Show at the NAEC Stoneleigh from 10 to 12 September. It is one of the highlights of our year and a genuinely useful place to talk your ideas through in person. Whether your project is still a sketch or a scheme ready to submit, we will happily discuss the options, share relevant examples, and give you a candid view of what is achievable on your site. If you own or manage a park and you are thinking about how to grow it, our message is simple. The earlier we start the planning conversation, the more value we can add, and the smoother your path from vision to consent. Planning, made simple.
