How many Parkdean Resorts are there?
There are 66 Parkdean Resorts scattered across the UK in England, Wales and Scotland. The holiday parks are mainly located in coastal areas including Devon, Cornwall and Kent, but there are also lakeside holiday parks in the Lake District and woodland spots in North Yorkshire and Dorset.
When do Parkdean Resorts close for autumn and winter?
All parks stay open throughout autumn so it’s a good option for October half-term holidays. Some holiday parks close between November and February. You’ll need to check individual parks for further information. You can book Winter Wonderland breaks in December at the following parks: Warmwell (Dorset), Trecco Bay (Wales) and Cayton Bay (Yorkshire).
Who owns Parkdean Resorts?
Parkdean Holidays and Park Resorts merged in 2015 to form Parkdean Resorts, the UK’s largest holiday park operator. It’s owned by the Onex Corporation, an investment management company based in Canada.
What’s the best Parkdean Resorts holiday park for families?
For its beautiful woodland setting, easy access to the stunning Jurassic Coast, variety of on-site activities and lovely lodges, we rate Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset. Kids of all ages are catered for here and parents are sure to have fun joining in or escaping for a peaceful walk in the woods.
How we chose our recommendations
Because we know that there's nothing like a real recommendation, we first headed to Mumsnet's UK holidays forum to find out which Parkdean Resorts holiday parks were being recommended.
We then did some research across travel publications and review sites, looking at which Parkdean Resorts had won accolades or been featured in 'best choice' lists across a range of websites, and what customer reviews said about them. Having collated all that information, we then narrowed our list down to the best Parkdean Resorts for families.
