5 Best Wheelchair Accessible Holiday Parks for Disabled People 2025
Let's start this guide to wheelchair accessible holiday park accommodation and disabled friendly caravans with a couple of disclaimers.
It is not possible to suggest wheelchair accessible accommodation that will be suitable for everyone with a disability. As you'll be aware, mobility and accessibility are vague terms so a caravan that works for one person won't be any good for others. I also want to make clear I have not personally visited every accessible caravan at these holiday parks with a tape measure.
In some cases, I found that most reviewers with a disability were happy with a resort - but one person recounted a terrible experience because of a very specific problem.
However, it is possible to pick out five good value UK holiday parks that offer accessible accommodation and are making an effort to be more disabled-friendly than most. Before you book, I would strongly suggest that you speak to the park to see if it matches your needs.
With that out of the way, here are five holiday parks with wheelchair friendly accommodation.

With that out of the way, here are five holiday parks with wheelchair friendly accommodation.
1. Parkdean Resorts Sandford Holiday Park in Dorset - cheap wheelchair friendly caravans, lodges with accessible hot tubs
The vast majority of Parkdean Resorts' holiday parks have wheelchair friendly accommodation. The main thing that you need to check is how hilly the site is!
We've picked out Parkdean Resort's Sandford Holiday Park as it's relatively flat and has accessible hot tubs with hoists in some of the accommodation. I feel this is the sort of thing that could be the highlight of a holiday. The adapted accommodation with accessible hot tubs are called 'Steeple WFA Lodge'.
Overall, Sandford Holiday Park scores 74% from reviewers, which is a fairly average score. That includes a score of 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor or 3.9/5 on Google Reviews. The resort is just outside of Poole and is near to several nature reserves. Most of the sandy beaches are about 20 minutes away by car.
There is another Parkdean Resorts park with accessible hot tub lodges - Warmwell Holiday Park, which is one of Parkdean's best holiday park. It scores 4.4/5 on Google Reviews or 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor. That gives us an average of 89%, which puts it on the top five out of Parkdean's holiday parks and well ahead of Sandford Holiday Park.
However, Warmwell Holiday Park is on a much hillier site and is more expensive.
After digging through recent reviews, I found one person who said their lodge was 'stuck in the steepest place' and 'not a good place to stay if disabled'. However, another reviewer said it was 'Great for disabled guests' and that the chef had accommodated their son's inability to chew. Warmwell is also one of Parkdean's most expensive holiday parks, mostly because it has spacious lodges rather than caravans. However, when we've been attempting to have a holiday with a relative in a wheelchair we've been willing to pay the extra for similar experiences.
Price: £929 for a week's holiday at Sandford Holiday Park in August 2025 in a Sturminster 'WFA' holiday home (the WFA stands for Wheelchair Friendly Accessible, I think). That is the price for a family of four. The property doesn't allow pets.

2. Sandy Balls Holiday Village in Hampshire (disabled friendly lodges)
Away Resorts has disabled-friendly accommodation at about half of its 25 holiday parks - but we've picked out comically-named Sandy Balls Holiday Village. It's got two grades of accessible accommodation. They are also dog friendly, which will tick another box for a lot of people.
The cheaper holiday homes at Sandy Balls are the Disabled Access Comfort Lodges, which sleeps four people. They have two bedrooms and include 'Ramped Access for Wheelchair Use' as well as 'Lower, adapted surfaces' and an 'Accessible wet room'.
The posher option is called a Westwood Accessible, which you'll find at a few different Away Resorts holiday parks. They sleep six people and also have ramps, lowered surfaces and a wet room.
Sandy Balls Holiday Park is a half hour drive from the coast but it's a large and well-regarded resort that scores 4/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.2/5 on Google Reviews. It's well located for visiting the New Forest, where you can see horses standing by the side of the road
We stayed there a few years ago and were impressed with the range of activities, which includes indoor and outdoor swimming pools, two restaurants, an entertainment venue, soft play, a decent playground and spa treatments.
It's a popular place to stay if you are visiting Peppa Pig World at Paultons Park. You can reach the theme park in 20 minutes by car.
Price: £1683 for a week in the cheapest accessible accommodation available for a week in August 2025. That price is for a family of four.

3. Haven Greenacres Holiday Park in Wales (Changing Places facilities, two grades of adapted accommodation)
Haven ask you to phone up to book accessible accommodation, rather than doing it online (the contact number is on this page). Their approach is to have two types of adapted accommodation, including type one for less severe mobility issues and two type if you are fully dependent on a wheelchair.
We've picked out Haven Greenacres holiday park as it's one of half a dozen resorts where Haven has added Changing Places facilities for disabled people.
The idea of these (in case you don't already know) is that you can stay out for longer rather than needing to return to your accommodation regularly. They include things like an 'adult-sized changing bed', a 'hoist system' and an alarm pull cord.
Greenacres is flat and you can access the reception and main entertainment complex with a wheelchair. You can't really get to Black Rock Sands beach from the park with a wheelchair, as there are sand dunes. However, you can basically drive onto the beach where there is a pay and display car park. Have a look at the map here to see what I mean.
The other reason for choosing Haven's Greenacres holiday park is that it frequently scores well on customer review scores and value for money in our annual comparison of Haven in Wales. It scores 84% overall, including 4.4/5 on Google Reviews and 4/5 on TripAdvisor. You can read our full guide to Greenacres here.
Greenacre's swimming pool also has a hoist to allow for disabled access. That is the case with nearly all of the Haven swimming pools.
Price: contact Haven, as you can only book adapted caravans over the phone. The contact number is on this page.

That includes: Haggerston Castle Holiday Park, Cleethorpes Beach Holiday Park and Lakeland Leisure Park in Northern England, Kiln Park in Wales and Seashore Holiday Park in East Anglia.
4. Llanrhidian Holiday Park in Wales (Positive reviews, good value)
John Fowler Holidays isn't as famous as Parkdean Resorts or Haven holiday parks. However, they triumphed over the bigger names when Which? carried out a survey of the UK's holiday park brands.
You'll find adapted caravans for disabled people in wheelchairs at a handful of its holiday parks, including Trelawne Manor Holiday Park in Cornwall and Sandy Glade Holiday Park in Somerset
However, we think Llanrhidian Holiday Park in Wales is worth a mention as it often stands out for its good value in our annual comparison of holiday parks in Wales. They've got an adapted caravan which is 'fully accessible with wet room, widened doorways and low level worktops'. It's also pet friendly.
The park is on a slope but there's a ramp into the main venue, as well as disabled parking near the onsite restaurant and an accessible toilet in the main entertainment area.
Overall, Llanrhidian Holiday Park scores 90% from customers including scores of 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor and Google Reviews.
Price: £1101 for a week in August 2025 in a two bedroom 'Platinum' caravan that is both adapted for people in wheelchairs and is also pet friendly.

5. Pentire Holiday Park in Cornwall (excellent reviews, basic facilities)
Park Holidays UK has adapted caravans at about half of its resorts. You can find its accessible resorts by searching for the dates of your holiday and then choosing the 'accessible' option under 'accommodation features'.
Pentire Holiday Park is one of its highest rated holiday parks and we found some good value adapted caravans for wheelchair users.
They sleep four people in two bedrooms and have wet rooms, ramped access and widened doors.
The park scores an impressive 89% from customers (4.4/5 on Google Reviews and 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor). It's certainly a very simple holiday park. There isn't an onsite swimming pool or restaurant but there is a playground.
Bude is about 10 minutes away in the car and it's a lot easier to reach than most of Cornwall from most of the UK. A trip down to Lands End is a whopping drive of more than two hours!
Price: £990 for a Gold Plus Adapted Caravan for a week in August 2025 for a family of four. You can choose from pet friendly and non pet friendly caravans.
