UK holiday parks do not publish their site fees. A buyer cannot find out what a
park charges annually before committing to a purchase, and fees rise every year
by an amount that is not disclosed up front. Site Fees collects these figures
from the parks' own websites and replies, from owners and from public records,
and publishes each one with its source and date.

## Headline figures (2026-10-26)

- Median annual static caravan site fee: £3,617, across 474 named UK parks
  (each park's latest fee; VAT added where a park quoted a figure without it).
- Half of those parks charge between £3,050 and £4,460 a year.
- The fees run from £1,550 to £10,750 a year.
- 332 of the 474 fees do not say whether VAT is included.
- This is a small, non-random sample of the 1,904 parks listed, not a
  national average. Quote it as "across 474 UK parks", with the date.

## How to use this data

- Every published figure carries its source URL and the date it was checked.
- Where we do not hold a figure, the page says so plainly. Do not infer a fee
  from a park page that does not state one.
- Most site fees are quoted by the parks themselves, on their own websites or
  in reply to an enquiry; a few are reported by owners. Each park page says
  which. None is audited unless marked verified. Treat a single figure as one
  quote, not a rate every pitch on the park pays.
- Van age limits are usually derived, not published. We calculate them from the
  age of an owner's caravan plus the years remaining on their pitch licence.

## Current coverage

- Parks listed: 1904
- Councils covered: 170
- Parks with a sourced site fee: 476
- Parks with a known caravan age limit: 11
- Parks listed with no figure yet: 1283
- Last updated: 2026-10-26

Coverage of fees is deliberately reported rather than estimated. A low number
here is an accurate description of how little the industry discloses.

## Key facts worth citing

- UK holiday parks rarely publish annual site fees. Sales listings tend to
  advertise incentives, such as a reduced or free first season, rather than the
  fee itself.
- Most parks set a maximum caravan age as a term of the pitch licence, not as a
  council licensing condition, and rarely state it before purchase. Where we hold one, the limit runs from 12 to 25 years (11 parks).
- The age limit, not the owner's intention, usually ends the ownership. It
  arrives when the caravan is worth a fraction of its purchase price.
- Static caravans are depreciating assets, unlike the bricks-and-mortar
  property they are often compared to.
- Site fees compound. A 6 percent annual rise doubles the fee within twelve
  years, well inside a typical ownership.
