Find the right Holiday Park for you
With our variety of parks to choose from, it’s important to consider your location, the area and how you will spend time once you have your very own holiday retreat at one of our parks.
Try to take into consideration the facilities on offer at the park itself and what you may wish to have on your doorstep. Silverdale Holiday Park for example, has a number of excellent facilities on-site including a swimming complex, bowling alley, restaurant & bar. It’s also ideally located in the Arnside & Silverdale National Landscape close to the Lake District.
Alternatively, you may opt for a quieter park such as Ribble Valley or Netherbeck, ideal for peace, relaxation and exploring surrounding countryside.
Our flagship park since 1956, amid over 100 acres of woodland and countryside.

Learn about Ownership Fees
It is important you understand all of the costs involved with holiday home ownership, when each cost is due and what they cover.
That’s why our team are available to help with queries and to talk you through the annual fees whenever you like. Simply get in touch and we will be happy to help.
We can also help clarify additional costs such as how you pay for electricity, gas and additional maintenance jobs that may wish us to do on your behalf once you become a holiday home owner.
All of our annual fees are re-adjusted at the time of purchase, to take you upto the next payment due date (we will explain this in more detail when we see you!)
Prepare and make a well-informed choice
It’s likely that you’ll need a bit of time before you find the static caravan or lodge which is perfect for you. However, each available plot we have is one of a kind, especially for those that have the best views. It is best to be well informed with all the information before you visit us, so if you do find the one during your park visit you are comfortable making a well-informed decision on the day!
Our sales team are here to help, be sure to ask any questions you feel necessary before and during your visit to one of our parks, so you can be confident in the decision to join us as a Holgates owner.
The Bigger Picture
Of course the main purpose of owning your own holiday home is so you can escape and relax throughout the year. However, many prospective owners also wish to look at the bigger picture including how often family and friends may wish to visit and what is available for them to explore in the area.
You may want to ensure there are occasional sleeping arrangements such as a fold out bed in the living area, or perhaps feel that having facilities only a short drive away will be better suited for the whole family to visit and make the most of your holiday home – whatever you are looking for, we are on hand to help you find the perfect park and holiday home model.
Frequently Asked Questions
As much as you like! With a holiday home at Holgates, you have the freedom to enjoy unlimited breaks throughout our 12-month season. Whether it’s a spontaneous weekend away, the full summer holidays, or a quiet Christmas retreat in the Ribble Valley, your holiday home is always ready for you. There’s no need to book in advance or check out by 10am, just turn up and relax.
Many of our owners choose Holgates to avoid the stress of airports, luggage restrictions, and rising flight costs. Owning a holiday home in Lancashire or Cumbria means you can be on holiday within a couple of hours’ drive. Plus, you have the comfort of your own bed, your own kitchen, and the ability to bring your dog along for a well-deserved holiday.
Definitely. Ownership at Holgates is an investment in family time. Across our range of parks, you’ll find everything from peaceful nature trails to 5-star leisure facilities. Owners at Silverdale, Far Arnside, and The Cove have access to our swimming pool, sauna, and steam room, while our other coastal and countryside locations offer endless outdoor advantages for all generations.
One of the most-cited reasons for owning at Holgates is our sense of community. Unlike a hotel, you’ll get to know your neighbors. We do not allow commercial sub-letting, which means you are surrounded by a consistent community of like-minded people who value the same peace and tranquility that you do across all of our parks.
At Holgates, we want you to enjoy your holiday home for years to come. Unlike many other parks, we offer generous license agreements to give you long-term security. The specific length of the agreement depends on the type of holiday home you choose.
Typically, the agreements are 10-15 years for a brand new static caravan and 15-30 years for brand new luxury lodges. This ensures you have plenty of time to create memories with your family without the worry of having to move your holiday home prematurely.
