Danny Dyer says holiday parks need saving, but caravan holidays are booming again for 2026!
The Dyer’s Caravan Park aired on Sky this week and, while reviews have been mixed, it has real potential as a fun way to show the British public what a modern holiday park can offer. That said, the Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks, who have 3 parks in the local area, disagree with Danny on one key point: the idea that the Great British holiday park holiday needs saving.
The Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks, have seen a surge in bookings this year. Savills data also suggests 2026 is set to be a year of growth for the UK holiday parks sector, and searches for “holiday parks” hit a four-year high in January (before peak season). With all the signs pointing in a positive direction, do holiday parks really need saving?
The holiday parks that perform best tend to be the ones that keep reinvesting in great accommodation and facilities, giving guests a better experience and a reason to come back year after year. Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks has focused heavily on that long-term investment to keep raising the standard of what a holiday park stay can be.
They also invest in the parts of the experience that really matter, from great food and drink and facilities that work whatever the weather, to family-friendly entertainment that feels current rather than dated. Just as importantly, they understand what today’s guests want from a UK break, such as flexible lengths of stay, clear pricing, quick mobile booking and helpful on-park teams. Add in extra touches like dog-friendly stays, site-wide WiFi, good accessibility and a focus on sustainability, and you have a holiday park people are happy to return to and recommend.
