Center Parcs agreeing to postpone - will other UK holiday parks follow suit?

We are booked to go to a Devon holiday park over Easter holidays. Just seen that Center Parcs are allowing people to postpone - good on them! See screenshot.
I'm hoping other holiday parks (like ours) will do the same. Surely in their interests rather than refund everyone if they have to close and helps avoid a soup of guests infecting each other and staff.
But if they don't get closed and don't offer postponement ....... would you go? I've been carrying on fairly normal with extra hygiene so far (pre booked events, gym etc) but am now erring towards cancelling holiday if the park doesn't. Any thoughts?

I'd love to hear from anyone booked to go to a holiday park over Easter. The one we've booked, like most, have a printed policy about Covid 19 that if you should be self isolating or are actually ill to stay away. But they'll only give money back if you booked their insurance.
In these unprecedented times with a virulent and contagious times I worry that if they don't relax this a lot of people will turn up when they shouldn't rather than lose money. Thoughts please.

We are booked to go to Butlins over the Easter holidays. They are operating as normal at the moment. To be honest I'm hoping government decide to close holiday parks by then as I'd rather just get a refund, as I'm not sure when I'll be able to go again this year.

Waxonwaxoff0 me too. Same situation. Shortsighted of parks really because if they rigidly stick to policy poorly people will show up. Also hoping for government to close parks.

We have a van on a haven site. At the moment they are remaining open. If they are forced to close they will refund or move the dates. Usual refund rules apply if you just choose to not come and they are still open. I’ll bet they won’t refund our site fees if they close. Lots rely on their rental income to pay the bills so will lose their vans and 1000s if the parks close
