Caravan Industry & Park Operator magazine offers essential reading for holiday park owners and operators across the UK.

The Holiday Park Awards – a new platform to celebrate the very best of the UK holiday park industry

Holiday Park Awards trophies

Entries for the inaugural Holiday Park Awards open this September, creating a new independent platform to recognise excellence, share best practice and bring the sector together. By Melanie Brook MCIM, Founder of the Holiday Park Awards The UK holiday park industry has plenty to be proud of. Independent and family-owned parks sit alongside larger groups, supported by specialist suppliers, advisers and service providers. Together, they create memorable holidays, careers and significant value for local communities. Much of the work behind that success happens quietly. Teams solve problems, improve guest experiences, invest in their parks and raise standards every day, often without recognition beyond their own businesses. The Holiday Park Awards has been created to change that. Launching this autumn, the new awards programme will provide an independent platform dedicated specifically to the UK holiday park sector. Its purpose is straightforward: to celebrate excellence, encourage the sharing of good practice and strengthen connections across an industry built on long-term relationships and trust. Recognition with a wider purpose The awards are designed to recognise the people, parks, teams and businesses making a positive difference across the sector. That includes the achievements visitors see, such as exceptional customer experiences and high-quality facilities, as well as the less visible work taking place behind the scenes in leadership, marketing, operations, sustainability, accessibility and team development. The ambition extends beyond one evening. The Holiday Park Awards will become the flagship of a year-round platform focused on three ideas: celebrate, educate and collaborate. Recognition matters, but so do opportunities for operators and suppliers to learn from one another, build relationships and support the sector’s development. Independence will sit at the heart of the programme. In an increasingly competitive market, and at a time when the reputation of the wider sector can sometimes be affected by the actions of a minority, credible recognition has real value. The awards will highlight businesses that are investing in their customers, their teams and their communities, while encouraging the transparency and high standards that help build public confidence. The idea grew from conversations with people working across the industry. Again and again, the same themes emerged: operators wanted recognition that understood the particular realities of running a holiday park, suppliers wanted meaningful ways to support their customers, and teams deserved an opportunity to see their work celebrated on a national stage. That feedback has helped shape a programme rooted in the sector itself, rather than one borrowed from wider hospitality. Key dates for the inaugural awards Entries will officially open on 22 September 2026, giving holiday parks and industry businesses the opportunity to put forward their achievements from the past year. Entries will close on 20 November 2026. Judging will take place throughout December 2026 and January 2027, followed by final deliberations. Finalists will be announced in mid-February 2027. The programme will culminate in the inaugural Holiday Park Awards ceremony at Sandy Park in Exeter on 22 April 2027. The evening will bring together park owners, operators, managers, teams and suppliers from across the country for a celebration of the people and organisations moving the industry forward. Businesses considering an entry can start preparing now, well ahead of September: identify the strongest story, gather evidence and results, and speak to the team members who delivered them. The most compelling entries are rarely those with the biggest budgets; they clearly explain the challenge, the action taken and the difference it made. An opportunity for the whole industry The strength of any awards programme depends on the breadth of the industry it represents. For that reason, the Holiday Park Awards is being developed to feel relevant and accessible to businesses of different sizes, from long-established family parks to growing groups and specialist suppliers. Excellence can look very different from one organisation to another, and the programme aims to recognise progress, innovation and impact in context. It is also an opportunity to bring together a sector that is geographically dispersed but closely connected. The awards night will create space to celebrate with colleagues, meet new contacts and strengthen existing partnerships. For finalists, it will offer valuable third-party recognition that can be shared with teams, customers and local communities. For the wider industry, it will create a growing bank of positive stories that demonstrate the quality, resilience and ambition found throughout the holiday park sector. A robust judging process will be essential to earning that confidence. Entries will be assessed against clear criteria by judges with relevant experience, with the December and January timetable allowing proper consideration before the finalists are agreed. Sponsors will help make the programme possible, but commercial involvement will remain separate from judging decisions. Sponsorship opportunities remain available The programme is already supported by a growing group of industry partners, reflecting strong confidence in the need for dedicated, independent recognition. Headline sponsor Parks in Video is joined by Holidaymaker App, Pitched, Metpow, HPL Recruitment, ParklinkSupply Parks, Holistic Thinking Holidays, Ruth Badger Consultancy, ParcVu Booking Experts and Walter Geering. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses that want to align their brand with excellence in the sector and play an active role in establishing the awards from the beginning. For suppliers and professional service businesses, becoming involved in the inaugural year offers a chance to support the industry, celebrate customers and colleagues, and be part of a new platform as it grows. Organisations interested in the remaining opportunities are encouraged to make contact early, as availability across the sponsorship levels is limited. A celebration the sector can share The first Holiday Park Awards will mark an important milestone, but the longer-term goal is broader: to build a trusted platform that helps the industry grow, connect, learn and celebrate success. The UK holiday park sector is full of people doing remarkable work, and their stories deserve to be seen. From 22 September, those stories can begin to take centre stage.

Combined Heat and Power that works under all circumstances

A Capstone microturbine

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a proven technology that has helped businesses cut energy costs for decades. By generating electricity and heat efficiently from a single fuel source, CHP can sharply reduce electricity bills while only modestly increasing fuel costs. However, due to the most common technology available for CHP application being a gas engine, which only run effectively on natural gas, it has been restricted to use to by businesses on the grid. Microturbine technologies, provided by Capstone Power Solutions have no such restrictions. Capable to running on multiple gaseous fuels, including commonly used LPG, it is available to all businesses, no matter where they are located. Capstone Microturbines also offer other great benefits, that help improve your sustainability and profitability. • Lowest in class emissions – Ensuring the clean air around your business remains that way • Minimal maintenance requirements – With only one moving part maintenance downtime and costs are kept low • No coolant or oil requirements – Reducing risks of environmental damage through spills and not adding to your COSHH requirements • Heating resilience – Provides extra heating capacity, so a boiler failure no longer means a loss of hot water • Electrical resilience – Turbines can run off-grid, allowing for critical electrical systems to keep running in the event of a power cut To find out more about Capstone Microturbines and how they can benefit your business, contact Capstone Power Solution on 01422 400021 or info@capstonepowersolutions.co.uk http://www.capstonepowersolutions.co.uk /

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.

Park owners and visitors urged to share their views in vital new tourism research

Industry leaders have launched a new project to better understand the economic impact and wider benefits of holidays taken across all forms of accommodation on UK holiday parks and campsites. They are running two surveys – one for park owners and operators and another for visitors. The project is being led by the UK Caravan and Camping Alliance (UKCCA), of which both HARPA and the NCC are members. The work builds on the success of the UKCCA’s influential Pitching the Value reports (2019 and 2024), which demonstrated the sector’s enormous contribution to UK tourism.  The 2024 study found that holiday parks and campsites generated £12.2bn in visitor spending, contributed £7.2bn GVA, and supported 226,745 FTE jobs across the UK. These findings continue to be instrumental in securing investment, shaping policy discussions, and strengthening the sector’s voice at both national and local levels. With key government decisions affecting tourism businesses now being formed, updated evidence is essential. Park owners and operators are encouraged to complete the online survey, with the results expected in 2027.  They will include data at UK, country and regional level and will be useful to the sector as a whole, supporting lobbying and campaign activity and helping to demonstrate the sector’s wider economic contribution to policymakers and local authorities.  The findings will also be valuable to individual holiday parks and campsites when applying for planning permission. In order to make the data robust and representative we need your help and would be grateful if you would complete this survey. Meanwhile, the UKCCA is also urging parks to encourage their guests to share their staycation experiences. The national visitor survey examining domestic tourism comes at a time when more holidaymakers are seeking flexible, affordable and sustainable breaks closer to home, with demand for UK holidays continuing to grow and evolve. It will gather insight into visitor expectations, travel habits and holiday experiences.  As a thank you for taking part, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a UK holiday. Prizes include: • A four-night stay at Braithwaite Village Camping and Caravanning Club Site in the Lake District  • A three-night stay in Experience Freedom glamping accommodation (from the Caravan and Motorhome Club) UKCCA spokesperson Bob Hill, of Bob Hill Leisure Consultancy, said: “Despite ongoing economic pressures and changing customer expectations, the holiday park and campsite sector remains resilient and forward-looking. Operators across the UK are continuing to invest and improve their parks, accommodation, facilities and sustainability initiatives, demonstrating their confidence in the future of domestic tourism and the enduring appeal of holiday parks and campsites. “The sector already contributes more than £12 billion in visitor expenditure to the UK economy and supports more than 226,000 jobs, particularly in rural and coastal communities. Holiday parks and campsites are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, from supporting local employment and businesses to championing community projects and charitable initiatives, the sector plays an important role in local economies and social wellbeing. “This research will help build a clearer picture of what today’s holidaymakers value most from UK breaks, while also highlighting the sector’s contribution to jobs, investment and regional tourism economies.” The surveys are open now and take only a few minutes to complete.

Caravan Park & Camping Site Outdoor Care: A Practical UK Operator Guide

In today’s competitive caravan and camping industry, first impressions matter more than ever. Guests expect more than just a place to pitch – they’re looking for clean, well-maintained surroundings, durable grass areas and safe, accessible facilities. For site owners and franchise operators, delivering this consistently across the season can be a challenge. This guide, created by the experts at ProGreen, outlines the key outdoor areas to focus on, and how to manage them effectively year-round. 1. Start with Strong, Durable Grass Pitches Grass pitches take the greatest strain on any site. Between vehicle movement, foot traffic and the unpredictable UK weather, it doesn’t take long for pitches to become worn, patchy or muddy. Best practice: • Use a high-wear, fast-recovering seed mix designed specifically for caravan sites • Overseed regularly to prevent thinning • Repair worn areas early to avoid pitch downtime ProGreen’s specialist caravan grass seed is formulated to thrive in UK conditions, delivering reliable growth and strong recovery able to withstand heavy use. For operators, this means faster turnaround between bookings, less time spent on repairs and consistent quality throughout the season. For guests, it creates a much better experience, thanks to firmer ground, less mud and a cleaner finish. 2. Keep Hard Surfaces Clean, Safe & Presentable Hard surfaces such as pathways, patios, decking and access roads are just as important as the pitches themselves. If they aren’t maintained, not only do they quickly become unsightly, but they can also create safety hazards, with slippery surfaces posing a risk to guests and staff alike. Best practice: • Treat problem areas regularly, not reactively • Focus on shaded and high-moisture zones • Build surface cleaning into routine maintenance schedules Products like AlgoClear Pro hard surface cleaner are designed to tackle algae and organic growth quickly and effectively, helping restore surfaces with minimal disruption. 3. Implement a Proactive Weed Control Plan Weeds don’t just affect appearance – they signal poor maintenance to guests and can quickly spread across both grassy and hard surfaces. Common problem areas include edges of pitches, fence lines and boundaries, and gaps in paving and access routes. Best practice: • Move from reactive to planned weed control • Treat early to prevent escalation • Ensure you are using selective and total weed control depending on your requirements A structured weed control programme helps maintain a clean, consistent look across the entire site, while reducing labour time spent on repeated fixes. ProGreen has a wide range of weed control options, from total weed control, ideal for hard surfaces, and selective weed control for use in grassy areas. 4. Ensure Staff Are Trained & Compliant Using professional-grade outdoor treatments correctly is essential, not just for results, but for safety and compliance. Best practice: • Ensure operators hold relevant certifications (e.g. such as PA6 spraying) • Follow correct application procedures • Prioritise health & safety at all times Training gives your team the confidence to apply products safely and effectively, avoiding costly mistakes or misuse, which maintains standards across the site. ProGreen’s highly-skilled in house trainer can deliver a range of in-person training courses, which can be held at your facilities or their dedicated training facility. Online courses are also available for a number of training needs. 5. Take a Joined-Up Approach to Site Maintenance One of the biggest challenges for site managers is juggling multiple suppliers and solutions.A more effective approach is to treat outdoor maintenance as a joined-up system, where: • Grass, hard surfaces, weed and pest control are managed together • Advice and support on best products and application schedules come from one trusted partner This improves your site’s efficiency, consistency and budgeting, ultimately raising your overall site standards to give your guests the best experience possible. Ready to Raise Your Site Standards? Whether you need advice on the right products, support building a maintenance plan or a tailored quote for your site requirements, ProGreen can help.

Silent reviews for caravan park operators: a smarter way to check your insurance cover

For busy caravan park owners, insurance can sometimes feel like a checkbox exercise. But in today’s environment, where risks are constantly evolving and expectations are on the rise, insurance isn’t just about protection, it’s a strategic tool that helps businesses to build long-term resilience. At Everywhen, we’ve supported the site operator sector for over 20 years. During this time, both the industry and the risks it faces have changed. Against that backdrop, having the right insurance is more important now than ever before. It gives owners protection and confidence, and it gives parks the flexibility to grow without unexpected barriers. A fresh chapter for Everywhen If you’ve known of us for a while, you’ll have noticed that we’re looking a little bit different this year. Our rebrand reflects the coming together of 35+ legacy brands now working together to give you broader expertise and support. Though our name and our identity have changed, our commitment to providing specialist insight for site operators remains just the same. We know that changes in the market have created new questions for operators, particularly around what their current cover is actually doing for them. That’s why we offer free silent reviews to all site operators. They’re designed to give you a clearer picture of your insurance without disturbing your existing arrangements. What is a silent review? A silent review is a discreet assessment of all your existing insurance arrangements. One of our specialists will take the time to review your policy documents from top to bottom to see what you currently have in place and highlight any areas that you might want to look at more closely. Your existing brokers or insurers won’t be contacted or made aware that the review is taking place. It’s simply a way to sense-check your existing arrangements and get practical insight and confidence, while at the same time remaining completely free to decide what you want to do with that information and determine your next steps.  We don’t charge for our review and there aren’t any hidden fees. Our aim is to impress you to a level where you may consider working with Everywhen in the future. We believe we’ll demonstrate our value as a trusted advisor. Why choose a silent review It’s easy to assume that if your cover has recently been renewed, it still reflects your current business needs. But policies don’t always evolve in line with how a business grows. New facilities, changes in staffing, rising guest expectations or shifts in how you operate can all impact your risk profile over time. When you’re constantly spinning plates, it’s hard to find time to go through each line of your policy to see what’s happening on the ground. Getting a silent review done can help highlight any areas that you may wish to consider further. Let’s talk A silent review can provide peace of mind and sometimes, identify important areas of cover that require further review or improvement.  This process is designed to be discreet – your existing arrangements will remain untouched, and your current brokers or insurers won’t be aware that a review is taking place. Please note, upon undertaking a silent review, we cannot guarantee that your current cover is sufficient for all potential exposures. Its purpose is to highlight potential areas of cover for further review. We accept no liability for any loss, damage, or claim arising from reliance on this review, including any omissions or oversights that may also have been present in the original insurance arrangements. If you have more questions, or you’d like to request your free silent review, our team are here to help. Contact Joseph Aspinall on:T: 07967 850 015E: joseph.aspinall@everywhen.co.uk

Welcoming Neurodiverse Holidaymakers with My Safe Place Southern.

When a significant segment of potential holidaymakers feels excluded from mainstream travel, it presents not only a social challenge but a commercial opportunity. Across the UK, millions of neurodivergent families quietly opt out of breaks that many others take for granted. The reasons are rarely about a lack of desire to travel. More often, they stem from environments that are overwhelming, staff who feel unprepared, and accommodation that has never been designed with their needs in mind. My Safe Place was created to change that. Founded by industry veteran Karen Mason, My Safe Place is more than a product line or a marketing initiative. It is a movement towards inclusion within the holiday park sector  one rooted in lived experience, decades of professional insight, and a clear recognition that the industry can, and should, do better. A Conversation That Sparked Change The catalyst for My Safe Place was deeply personal. Karen, who has spent more than 36 years working within the holiday park industry, was speaking with her brother, a father of three neurodiverse children. His words were simple but devastating. Because overseas travel felt impossible, the family had tried several UK caravan holidays. Both experiences were so stressful that they vowed never to return to a holiday park again. For Karen, the comment landed hard. She understood exactly what he meant. Holiday parks, despite their family-friendly branding, are rarely designed with neurodivergent guests in mind. Bright lights, unpredictable noise levels, crowded entertainment venues, unclear signage, rigid check-in systems and staff lacking specialist awareness can turn a hopeful getaway into an exhausting ordeal. The very features that create energy and excitement for some visitors can become overwhelming sensory triggers for others. Yet Karen also saw something else — potential. If parks could be adapted thoughtfully, they would not only become accessible but genuinely welcoming. And if anyone understood how to navigate manufacturers, operators and supply chains to make that happen, it was someone who had spent over three decades in the sector. Rethinking the Holiday Experience For many neurodivergent individuals, preparation for a holiday can feel like a military operation. Parents must anticipate every possible trigger, pack specialist equipment, research environments in forensic detail, and develop contingency plans for every scenario. The cognitive and emotional load can outweigh the promise of rest. My Safe Place challenges that reality by asking a simple question: what if the environment did more of the work? Imagine arriving at a park where signage is clear, consistent and easy to follow. Where lighting in accommodation can be adjusted to suit sensory preferences. Where décor is calm rather than visually overwhelming. Where quiet zones are available away from high-traffic areas. Where check-in procedures allow flexibility rather than queues and confusion. And where staff understand that a meltdown is not “bad behaviour” but a sign of distress requiring calm, informed support. Inclusion, as Karen frequently emphasises, is not merely an ethical stance. It is sound business. By widening accessibility, parks expand their customer base, build loyalty within a deeply connected community, and differentiate themselves in a competitive leisure market. Word-of-mouth recommendations within neurodivergent networks carry enormous weight. A positive experience can ripple far beyond one booking. Designing Safe Holidays That Feel Like Home My Safe Place was born as the vehicle to turn vision into reality. Months of research followed that initial conversation, with Karen collaborating closely with families, therapists and neurodiversity specialists to ensure authenticity and practicality. The result is bespoke holiday accommodation designed from the ground up with neurodivergent needs at its core. Key features include sensory-considered bedrooms with low-stimulation décor, adjustable lighting to reduce harsh glare, carefully planned layouts that minimise clutter, and dedicated quiet spaces. Central to many designs is a specialist neurodiverse safe bed, offering both physical security and soothing reassurance for individuals who require enclosed or protective sleep environments. Karen has worked alongside established manufacturers and are bringing these designs to market, including Sunseeker Holiday Homes, Beverley Leisure Homes, Omar Group, andaims to work with all holiday home manufacturers in the near future.. This collaboration signals something important: mainstream manufacturers are recognising that inclusive design is not a niche add-on but a forward-thinking evolution of their core offering. Beyond Accommodation: A Multi-Faceted Approach My Safe Place also delivers staff training programmes for park teams, equipping them with practical tools to understand, interpret and respond appropriately to neurodiverse guests. This includes guidance on communication differences, sensory sensitivities, de-escalation strategies and the importance of predictability. The initiative extends into the wider park environment. In some cases, this may involve the creation of sensory rooms or designated calm areas. In others, it could mean improved step-by-step visitor information, visual guides, clearer maps or adjustments to entertainment schedules to offer quieter sessions. Karen envisions My Safe Place as a consultative, one-stop resource for parks, seeking to improve, and rather than offering a single product they will support parks through the full  process from design and sourcing to staff development and marketing. Importantly, the My Safe Place website will also function as a trusted directory for families, signposting parks and venues that have committed to inclusive standards. For parents who currently spend hours researching suitability, that reassurance alone could transform decision-making. A Sector Ready for Evolution The holiday park industry has evolved dramatically in recent decades, embracing luxury lodges, experiential stays and digital transformation. “Inclusivity is the next frontier and we are excited that not only do we have the support of industry giants like Hoseasons, but The National Autistic Society is exploring endorsements for the My Safe Place Southern accreditation scheme and bespoke accommodation.  There have also been recent conversations with VisitEngland who are broadly supportive of initiatives that improve accessibility and inclusivity within England’s tourism offer” says Karen Mason Neurodiversity is not rare. It is part of the fabric of modern society. When parks fail to accommodate this reality, they inadvertently exclude a substantial audience. When they  For an industry built on the promise of creating happy memories, the challenge is clear. True hospitality means designing spaces where everyone can participate and not as an afterthought, but as standard.
