Popular times for last-minute breaks
Looking to escape on a last-minute UK caravan break? We get families, couples and groups of different sizes all year round, but there are few times that seem to be the most popular with guests.
Easter and spring bank holidays are among the first busy periods, kicking off the season. From May through to the end of September, our holiday parks across the UK are full of families making the most of the much welcomed warmer weather. In fact, September is also especially popular with couples and off-peak travellers looking to avoid the main summer crowds. Christmas is always a festive favourite too, but we actually find that even more travellers arrive on New Year’s Eve to celebrate the dawn of a New Year in style.

How to get the most from your last-minute holiday
Booking a spontaneous break is half the fun, with just a little upfront planning, you can turn a great last-minute caravan break into one that's out of this world. Here are our top tips for squeezing every last drop of enjoyment (and value) from your last-minute UK escape:
Be flexible on location
If your dates are fixed, widen your search to include multiple parks or regions. Being open to different areas often uncovers hidden gems and the best last-minute deals.
Consider midweek stays
Alternatively, if you’re pretty flexible on dates, why not try a last-minute break throughout the week? Weekdays can be significantly cheaper than weekends, so perhaps try swapping the usual Friday–Sunday for arrival on a Monday? It could save you on both accommodation and park activities!
Check the weather & pack smartly
The British weather can be unpredictable at the best of times. Always check the forecast a few days before you travel and pack layers, waterproofs and versatile footwear so you’re ready for sun or showers.
Read our expert guides
From packing lists to local day-trip ideas, our most popular guides are packed with insider tips to help you make the most of your time. Be sure to browse our ‘Inspire Me’ section before you set off.
Embrace spontaneity and explore somewhere new
What’s the best part of a last-minute UK holiday? It’s your chance to visit somewhere you’ve never been! Be adventurous and create memories you won’t find in a guidebook.
