UK Holiday Park Bargains and How to Get Them

With many families looking for a bargain holiday in Britain this year, holiday parks offer value for money, with good facilities, entertainment, and great locations too. But with a bit of luck, and knowing where and when to shop around, you can save even more on their prices.

1) Check the newspapers in the New Year for special offers on park holidays
Many of the regional and nationwide British papers publish discount holiday offers in the New Year. Often these are cut price bargain breaks at selected holiday parks throughout the UK. So keep an eye on the papers after Christmas and in the first couple of weeks of January. You'll need to collect a series of tokens, and the sooner you can start the better, because you have to send in your choices of holiday dates and locations in order of preference, and popular choices will soon be filled up.

2) Enter competitions on the holiday park websites
Some holiday park websites have competitions where you can win a free holiday in exchange for signing up for a brochure and answering some questions. It may be a long shot, but you won't win if you don't enter.

3) Check travel websites for discount codes
If you check the travel websites which advertise park holidays, you will often find discount codes. These may apply to a specific holiday park, a certain number of days or a particular time of year. So you may find a bargain break in a resort you hadn't thought of before.

4) Plan your holiday in the off-season
If your family circumstances allow you to avoid the school holidays, you can make big savings by going on holiday in the off peak holiday seasons. So if your children are younger, make the most of it while you can!

5) Camp in your own tent or campervan
Some holiday parks allow camping in tents or campervans as well as their own static caravans. So if you have you own tent or campervan, this can work out to be a cheaper option for budget accommodation, while still allowing you to use all the holiday park's facilities.
