Yorkshire caravan park owner sets up camp at new site

A Yorkshire caravan park company is expanding with a second site.

York Caravan Park, which is currently seven acres wide, is taking over the Naburn Lock park on the outskirts of the city.

There is already work underway on the site, which was purchased for an undisclosed amount.

The site is being modernised with upgraded pitches, landscaping and electrics, as well as the submission of a planning application to construct new state-of-the-art washing and toilet facilities.

Currently the site hosts 115 pitches, with its new owners aiming to create a new glamping area that capitalises on the growing demand for the outdoor holiday trend.

Andrew Wilson, who owns the company, commented: “Acquiring Naburn Lock is the culmination of a three-year search for the right holiday site with an abundance of potential.

“Demand for quality campsite accommodation continues to grow each year across all generations, and after already establishing a strong foothold within the adult only space, it was a clear focus of mine to eventually enter the family market and deliver more accommodation within the beautiful city of York.

“Not one for resting on my laurels, I have big ambitions for the site to one-day create a new glamping area that taps into its rising popularity and brings a new outdoor holiday accommodation offer that drives a diverse mix of visitors and further growth to the local economy.”
