If you haven’t booked a holiday park for 2015 you may be running out of time if you want to grab a big reduction on your break. There will be other opportunities to grab a bargain, but bearing in mind the recent year on year surge in bookings we’re guessing that great deals may be a bit thinner on the ground this year.
Of course the holiday park operators have to be competitive, and that usually results in the undercutting of competitors’ deals, but with the huge increase in booking patterns the only real competition may be from holidays abroad. In short, most operators may not need to put their prices down any lower because their accommodations will probably already have been booked up.
Having said the above, the big operators are still offering up to 50% off advanced bookings (a bird in the hand…), until the end of January.
Haven Holidays are offering up to 50% off 7 night breaks in spring, through to early July and back again in the Autumn. These offers do not include school holidays and bank holidays which are subject to a reduction of up to 25%. These deals end on January 31st. More info.
Park Resorts have up to 30% off their holidays, but they are not specific on their website as to which reductions apply to which period, you will simply have to pick a period, search availability in your chose region, and see what’s on offer. Again, this deal ends on January 31st. More info.
Park Holidays’ soon to end early booking offer will save you up to £150 for a 7 night break between July 24th and August 27th, and £85 for a 3 night break. All other dates are reduced by between £70 and £85 for a 7 night break, and between £30 and £45 for a 3 night break. More info.
As noted, these are not going to be the only offers available this year, but, if the weather is anything like it has been over the past two years, you are unlikely to get a holiday park bargain at these rates apart from a few lucky late availability spots due to cancellations. Reductions for children traveling by air do come into effect this year, but, the staycation is still on the rise, so book early if you can to save that extra bit of cash!
