Parkdean Resorts Holiday Parks: Our Top Picks for 2026
1. Eyemouth Holiday Park, Scotland
**Winner: best value Parkdean Resorts holiday park**
There are eight Parkdean Resorts in Scotland. In our opinion, the best value one is the former Park Resorts holiday park of Eyemouth. In fact, there's a good argument that it's the best value Parkdean Resorts holiday park in the UK.
It is one of the highest-rated Parkdean Resorts holiday parks with customers, with scores of 4.4/5 on TripAdvisor and Google Reviews. That gives it an average rating of 88%, compared to the Parkdean average of about 80%. For that reason alone we think it's very deserving of a place in our guide to the best Park Resorts and Parkdean Resorts sites.
Eyemouth doesn’t actually have as much on site as a lot of holiday parks, but there’s a playground, bar, restaurant and sports court onsite, as well as the usual evening and kids club stuff.
There’s not a swimming pool onsite unfortunately, but Parkdean Resorts has an arrangement with a local indoor pool offsite which means you can use it for free during your holiday.
It’s only a short walk to the beach and it’s just over an hour’s drive to Edinburgh for a day out, or 20 minutes to Berwick Upon Tweed.
The other highly rated Parkdean Resorts holiday park in Scotland is Nairn Lochloy Holiday Park, which is near to Inverness. It ranks as one of the top 10 according to customer reviews with a score of 86% and was also good value in our price comparison of every Parkdean Resorts holiday park.
Price: £709 for a family of four, for a week in August 2026 in a St Abbs caravan. That makes it amongst the cheaper Parkdean Resorts in the UK, despite being one of the highest-rated with customers.

Reviews of Eyemouth Holiday Park are amongst the best of all the Park Resorts sites...

2. Nodes Point Holiday Park St Helen's, Isle of Wight (beachside, swimming pool)
There are four Parkdean Resorts holiday parks on the Isle of Wight but we picked Nodes Point for our holiday. They were all previously Park Resorts holiday parks before the companies merged.
Nodes Point is walking distance from the pleasant beach at St Helen’s, which has ankle deep water and isn’t too touristy. On the site, there’s an indoor swimming pool, as well as a playground and sports courts.

Reviews, ferries and our stay at Nodes Point Holiday Park
We stayed in a lodge at Nodes Point that was one of the closest to the beach. This was very convenient and meant that we could be on St Helen's beach in about two minutes. The only downside of being at this end of the park is that it is flatter than the rest of Nodes Point. Caravans and lodges on the slope leading up to the back of the back and the clubhouse get a much better sea view across to Bembridge.
In the summer, they offer horse riding along the beach with Sally's Riding School, which is pretty idyllic. We did this as a group of five and enjoyed it greatly (despite it being the only grey day of the week). I was terrible at cantering but it was good fun.
The Isle of Wight isn’t huge, so you can get to the popular tourist towns of Shanklin, Ryde or Ventnor without a huge drive. It’s quite a long way from the famous Needles and Alum Bay, but you could certainly do it as a day trip.
Reviews are very positive at 83%, once we add together TripAdvisor and Google Review scores. They also do glamping, touring and camping for those with an optimistic view of the UK's weather.
Parkdean Resorts guests get a very big discount on the Isle of Wight ferry. The exact price varies but we've done some test prices and found savings of 50% - 70%. At peak times, it can cost about £300 to take a car to the Isle of Wight but Parkdean customers usually pay about £70 - £150.
Price comparison: £1279 for a family of two adults and two children staying in a Farringford chalet for a week in August 2026.

Nodes Point is one of four Parkdean Resorts sites on the Isle of Wight...

...and it's right next to a nice beach
|
Other Parkdean Resorts on the Isle of Wight include:
And how do those other Parkdean Resorts on the Isle of Wight compare on price? On the dates we checked for a week in August 2026, Landguard was £859 whilst Lower Hyde started from £989 and Thorness Bay started from £855.
- Thorness Bay - usually the cheapest and in a remote location next to a shingle beach. When we visited Thorness Bay we were treated to an outstanding sunset and noted that the resort is quite sprawling rather than too crammed in.
- Landguard - when we visited, we found it to be quite a compact park with neat rows of caravans side by side. We liked the look of the indoor swimming pool and found the footpath that links it with Lower Hyde. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the busy seafront at Shanklin.
- Lower Hyde - on our visit, we found this to be a more spacious and leafier park, which is also 20 minutes from Shanklin beach. It only has an outdoor pool, but you can use the facilities at Landguard. We thought the layout of Lower Hyde was terrific when we looked round.

We like the cul-de-sac layout of Parkdean's Lower Hyde
|
Caravans at Landguard are in compact rows - but you do get an indoor pool
|
3. California Cliffs Holiday Park Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (beachside, swimming pool)
Norfolk is jam-packed with Parkdean Resorts holiday parks, including some that were formerly Park Resorts sites. We've been to most of them. There are seven in total, but I would pick California Cliffs - even if the name is a little over the top!
It gets solid reviews (84% on average), it’s got indoor and outdoor swimming pools and it is near to the beach. What more do you want? Well, actually there’s also crazy golf, an adventure playground and some other entertainments.
You’ll need a car if you want to visit Great Yarmouth itself, as it’s a few miles along the coast.
Another good choice in Norfolk is either Cherry Tree Holiday Park or Breydon Water Holiday Park. They are practically next door to each other, about 15 minutes inland from Great Yarmouth. Personally, I prefer Cherry Tree but Breydon Water is usually the cheapest Norfolk holiday park in our price comparisons.
The downside is that neither is as close to the beach as California Cliffs - which is a big deal for us.
Price comparison: £889 for an Alderney caravan for a family of four, for a week in August 2026. Breydon Water had caravans starting from £715 for the same dates.

There are some nice lodges, as well as indoor and outdoor swimming pool at California Cliffs...

...and the local beach is a corker
|
We've been to most of Parkdean's Norfolk resorts. If you want to know more, read about our visits to Vauxhall, California Cliffs, Summerfields, Breydon Water and Cherry Tree.
We were impressed with the amount of greenery at Cherry Tree Holiday Park when we visited
|
We liked the choice of swimming pools on our visit to Vauxhall Holiday Park
|
4. White Cross Bay Holiday Park Windermere, Lake District (lakeside, swimming pool)
There’s a very decent choice of Parkdean Resorts holiday parks in the Lake District and Cumbria, but our pick is White Cross Bay, as it’s close to Windermere and it’s got an indoor swimming pool.
You can even bring your own boat if you want to (and if you own a boat, of course).
There are some other things on site, such as a sports court and sauna, but you’d be a bit mad to come to the glorious Lake District and then spend the whole week in a hot little room with nothing but a towel on.
White Cross Bay gets 3.9/5 on TripAdvisor or 4.2/5 on Google Reviews, giving us an average of 81%.
The other Parkdean Resorts and former Park Resorts sites in the Lake District are Fallbarrow Holiday Park and Limefitt Holiday Park, which are both near to Windermere. Both are excellent holiday parks - in fact, they came first and joint second in our comparison of review scores for all 66 Parkdean Resorts. However, neither has an indoor swimming pool, which is a bit of a downside in the notoriously soggy Lake District.
Price comparison: £929 for a week in a Brantwood caravan for a family of two adults and two children in August 2026. They also have pet friendly caravans and lodges.

5. Sandy Bay Holiday Park Northumberland (beachside, swimming pool, cheap)
Sandy Bay doesn’t win any awards for coming up with a creative name, but it deserves a place in our top 10 Parkdean Resorts caravan parks guide.
It is one of several excellent value Parkdean Resorts holiday parks and former Park Resorts holiday parks in Northumberland and County Durham.
Church Point Holiday Park is more popular with customers but we think Sandy Bay just about edges it on facilities and value for money.
Reviews for Sandy Bay are 79% and it's improved a lot after recent investment. Lots of it was refurbished in 2017, including the soft play and bar/restaurant.
Sandy Bay ticks most of the boxes of what I look for in a holiday park, with direct beach access (always preferable to loading up the car), an indoor swimming pool and somewhere to eat including takeaway and restaurant options.
Church Point Holiday Park is probably a better choice if you just want a quiet resort with access to a nice beach. It's one of the most popular Parkdean Resorts holiday parks with customers and scores 4.2/5 on TripAdvisor or 4.6/5 on Google Reviews. That's a red-hot average score of 88%.
Whitley Bay Holiday Park also deserves an honourable mention. It is another good Parkdean Resorts site in Northumberland. It scores well with customers and is in the top 20 cheapest Parkdean Resorts in the UK.
Price comparison: £609 for a week’s holiday at Sandy Bay Holiday Park for a family of four in a dog friendly 'Economy' caravan in August 2026.

6. Cayton Bay Holiday Park, East Yorkshire (swimming pool, beach, high ropes)
We've been to several Parkdean Resorts holiday parks in Yorkshire, but Cayton Bay stands out as the best in my opinion. It gets the best review scores at 83%, although others aren't far behind.
Cayton Bay is usually more expensive than Parkdean's other Yorkshire resorts, but it is one their 10 'Action Packed Parks'. Those are the parks with the biggest range of activities (see our comparison here).
We liked the way that a lot of the facilities at Cayton Bay are bunched together so you can sit in the restaurant whilst watching the high ropes. The local beach is excellent and is only about 10 minutes' walk away. There's a road in the way, but we used the underpass so it wasn't too much of a big deal. Read about our visit to Cayton Bay here.
Price comparison: £959 for a Bronze caravan for a family of two adults and two children for a week in August 2026 (a six berth caravan).

We enjoyed this covered restaurant at Cayton Bay Holiday Park
|
This beautiful beach is a 10 minute walk from the park
|
My second choice in Yorkshire is Skipsea Sands near Bridlington. You can read about our visit to Skipsea Sands here.
Skipsea Sands has got an indoor swimming pool, as well as a fishing lake, sauna, an indoor play area where children can bounce around, ten pin bowling and somewhere to eat.
It’s right by the coast, so you can admire the sea view although it’s a short drive to the more family friendly section of beach.

We concluded that Skipsea Sands is a good choice if you've got your own car
|
We enjoyed facilities including the sports bar and a big arcade
|
Another option that we've been to in Yorkshire is Parkdean Resorts Barmston Beach. It is nearer to the beach, but only has an outdoor swimming pool. It gets better customer reviews than Skipsea Sands and it tends to cost about the same. However, the lack of an indoor swimming pool is a bit limiting unless you are lucky with the weather. Read about our visit to Barmston Beach.
Our favourite thing about Barmston Beach was its sea views
|
Facilities are on a small scale at Barmston Beach (this is the soft play area)
|
7. Warmwell Holiday Park, Dorset (large park with great activities, expensive)
Parkdean Resorts categorises 10 of its 65 holiday parks as 'Action Packed Parks'. As you'll gather, these are the ones that have the biggest range of things to do onsite. They tend to be the larger resorts as well. We've written a guide comparing all of the Action Packed Parks. It's a masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
The three that get the best reviews are
Jumbo-sized Trecco Bay Holiday Park in South Wales isn't far behind on 80%. It claims to be 'the UK's biggest holiday park'.
Warmwell Holiday Park stands out because it has the most interesting activities - including a dry ski slope. It also has more spacious accommodation than most other Parkdean Resorts, as it's got lodges rather than caravans.
However, it does have a couple of downsides. Firstly, it's 25 minutes' drive from the sea. Cayton Bay Holiday Park and Ty Mawr are both 10 minutes' walk away from a beach, whilst Trecco Bay Holiday Park is even closer.
Secondly, Warmwell Holiday Park is consistently one of the most expensive Parkdean Resorts. The higher prices are understandable because the accommodation is so much larger - and they're a par with the price of lodges at the other parks. However, if you want a cheap and busy park, stick with Ty Mawr or Cayton Bay instead.
Price: comparison: £1249 for a family of four staying in a lodge for a week in August 2026 at Warmwell Holiday Park.
The three that get the best reviews are
- Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset (87%)
- Ty Mawr Holiday Park in North Wales (85%)
- Cayton Bay Holiday Park in Yorkshire (83%) - also mentioned in the Yorkshire section above

Yes, Warmwell Holiday Park really does have a ski slope

8. Weeley Bridge Holiday Park Clacton-on-sea, Essex (inland, outdoor swimming pool, cheap)
If you’re in the South East of England and don’t fancy a nine hour drive with children, then I’d take a look at Weeley Bridge on the edge of Clacton on Sea. We visited in 2025 and thought it had a really lovely relaxing vibe.
In terms of value for money and reviews, I'd say it's one of the better Parkdean Resorts/former Park Resorts holiday sites. Customers consider to be the best Parkdean Resorts holiday park in Essex, although Coopers Beach Holiday Park isn't far behind.
Weeley Bridge Holiday Park is about 15 minutes from the coast but there’s enough onsite to waste a few hours, including an outdoor swimming pool in the summer (not sure why you’d want to use it in the winter anyway), a playground, sports court, fishing lake, kids' and grown-up entertainment and a bar.
Weeley Bridge gets decent reviews on TripAdvisor (4.4/5) and Google reviews (4.1/5) - or 85% overall.
For more insight, you might like to read our review of Parkdean Resorts Weeley Bridge.
Price comparison: £739 for a family of four in a Silver caravan for a week in August 2026.

The alternatives in Essex - such as Valley Farm Holiday Park - are often cheaper than Weeley Bridge. However, we preferred Weeley Bridge when we visited.
Here's our review of Valley Farm Holiday Park.

We liked the playground and other facilities at Valley Farm, but still preferred Weeley Bridge

9. St Margaret's Bay Holiday Park Dover, Kent (swimming pool, good facilities for grown ups)
If you want to spend a week singing about the White Cliffs of Dover, I’d take a look at St Margaret’s Bay Caravan Park.
It’s one of the better equipped Parkdean Resorts sites for adults, with an indoor pool, gym, ‘alternative therapies’, sauna, bar and restaurant. There’s stuff for the kids too, with the usual entertainment and playgrounds.
It's certainly a good one if you are based around London or the South East and don't fancy a long drive to popular spots like Cornwall or the Lakes.
Reviewers give it 84% on average.
Another option in Kent is Parkdean's Romney Sands, but we think St Margaret's Bay is the better option.
Price comparison: £815 for a family of four, for a week’s holiday in August 2026 (staying in a three bedroom Bronze bungalow).

10. Todber Valley Parkdean Resorts Holiday Park Lancashire
**Winner: cheapest Parkdean Resorts holiday park**
Todber Valley Caravan Park is worth considering if you're looking for a cheap Parkdean Resorts site and don’t mind doing a bit of driving on holiday.
Onsite facilities are a bit basic but it’s 20 minutes from the Yorkshire Dales, 10 minutes from the Forest of Bowland or 1 hour from Kendal, Blackpool or Morecambe.
It’s also got nice views overlooking Pendle Hill and it gets a solid 84% from reviewers.
There’s no swimming pool but there is a play area, sports area and pub.
In our comparisons of customer reviews and prices at every Parkdean Resorts in the UK, Todber Valley performs well. It is in the top third of holiday parks based on customer reviews whilst also being one of the cheapest in the UK.
Regent Bay Holiday Park in Lancashire is similarly good value. It's in Morecambe and is a better choice if you want a cheap beach holiday, rather than rolling green hills.
Price: £535 for a family of four, for a week in August 2026, staying in a Moose caravan. That makes Todber Valley on of the UK's cheapest Parkdean Resorts holiday parks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parkdean Resorts
Which Is The Best Parkdean Overall?
That's a tough one and I wouldn't say there's one obvious winner as it really depends what you're looking for.
On review scores alone, the winner is usually Limefitt Holiday Park in the Lake District - which isn't in our top 10 favourites! However, it's a simple park without a swimming pool.
For families looking for a busy park with lots of activities, I would pick one from the Action Packed Park list. Warmwell Holiday Park in Dorset, Ty Mawr Holiday Park in North Wales and Cayton Bay Holiday Park in Yorkshire are all excellent choices.
You might have other priorities though - such as a park with a great beach, a good campsite or hot tubs.
For what it's worth, my personal favourite is Nodes Point Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight.
