Park Regulations & Ownership:

Q: How long is the static park open each year?

• A: Our site is licensed for holiday use for 11 months of the year (our Lodges have a 12 month licence). You must have a main residential address outside of the park, as you cannot live here as your primary residence.

Q: Can I sublet my holiday property?

• A: No. Subletting is strictly forbidden. This helps maintain the park’s security and community atmosphere.

Q: Is there an age limit on how long my caravan can stay on the park?

• A: No, we don’t operate an age restriction. As long as you keep your holiday home clean and tidy, you are welcome to stay. If you choose to terminate your tenancy, we will buy back your caravan at the current market value, as determined by Glass’s Guide.

Q: Can my family and friends visit or use my caravan in my absence?

• A: Yes, of course. We welcome your family and friends. Please inform reception if they will be staying while you are away.

Q: Am I allowed to sell my holiday property?

• A: Yes. You can sell your caravan back to Bank Farm or privately off-park. 

Q: Can I bring a static caravan onto the park from elsewhere?

• A: No. We offer a range of new and pre-owned caravans available for purchase on-site.

Pets & Parking:

Q: Can I bring my pets?

• A: Yes, pets are welcome (up to a maximum of two). We ask that dogs are kept on leads around the park and are not left unattended. Please clean up after your pets.

Q: Where do I park my car(s)?

• A: Most pitches have one designated parking space next to the caravan. Additional free parking is available nearby.

We can connect you with our preferred insurance provider for a quote if you’d like.

Q: How do I go about buying a caravan?

• A: You can purchase a caravan with cash (upto the legal cash limit)  cheque, card, bank transfer, or through a specialised finance company.

Decking & Other Questions:
