Best Holiday Parks in Wales
Wales quietly delivers some of the best-value holiday home ownership in Britain: thousands of miles of coastline, big family beaches, and park fees that often undercut the English south-west.
The ownership hotspots cluster in three bands — the south coast around the Vale of Glamorgan and Gower, the Pembrokeshire coastline, and the north Wales coast from the Dee Estuary around to Pwllheli. Here is what each offers.

The short answer
Where are the best holiday parks in Wales to buy a static caravan?
For value and scenery, the north Wales coast (Dee Estuary to Llyn Peninsula) and Pembrokeshire are the strongest ownership markets, with the Vale of Glamorgan and Gower close behind for south-Midlands buyers. Compare site fees and season length park by park — Welsh parks vary more than any other region on both.
The three Welsh ownership belts
South Wales — The Vale of Glamorgan coast and the Gower are the most accessible for owners from the Midlands, Bristol and London. Parks here lean family-focused with strong facilities.
Pembrokeshire — A long, rugged coastline with superb beaches and a more relaxed pace. Ownership stock is good but spread over many medium-sized parks rather than a few giant ones.
North Wales — The Dee Estuary, Llandudno and the Llyn Peninsula offer the most dramatic scenery and generally the best value. The season can be shorter in the far north, so check winter closure dates.
What to check before you view
- Site fees and their year-on-year movement — Welsh parks vary widely
- Season length — some northern parks close for winter entirely
- Subletting and letting income rules
- Access and local amenities out of peak season
- Resale process and how long units typically take to sell at that park
Value without the compromise
Wales’ main advantage is value: similar sea views and family facilities to the English south-west, often at a noticeably lower entry point. The trade-offs are a shorter peak season in some locations and, in the far west and north, longer drives for much of the UK.
