A note from the site themselves...

Daniel has grown up around and worked on caravan parks his whole life. His grandparents owned five static caravan parks up until 2022. So, with their legacy in mind, we're excited to continue the tradition and in November 2023 we made the decision to move and start our own site.

We hope to keep improving the site for our guests year on year. We hope to welcome you soon, Sophie and Daniel
