At one time most holiday parks in the UK were under the authority of the big name camps such as Butlins or Pontins.

The Butlins and Pontins holiday parks are still popular because almost everything that you need is available on site. In the nineteen fifties and early sixties the parks could be quite regimented with regards to meal times and the time you had to be out of your chalet but all that has changed. Most modern holiday parks have a range of accommodation, some of which is self catering. The holiday parks still have all the facilities such as a restaurant, fish and chip shop, shops, children’s play area, entertainment facilities and swimming pools. The first holiday park to be opened in Britain was Billy Butlins at Skegness.

In recent years a whole new breed of holiday parks has been thriving in the UK.

The first CentreParc was (and still is) in Sherwood Forest just outside of Nottingham and there are now three other such holiday parks, all set in forest areas, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire, Elveden Forest in Suffolk and Whinfell Forest in Cumbria. There is a range of accommodation on offer, all modern and stylish, on site restaurants and a range of indoor and outdoor activities from badminton to swimming. Centreparc holidays are designed as activity holiday, which makes them a bit different from the traditional beach holiday.
