Nostalgic holiday park getaways available in Wales this half-term

For many in the UK, this means returning to classic holiday parks, whether that is camping, caravanning, or opting for modern glamping.

With this trend in mind, the October half-term provides the perfect opportunity for a nostalgic getaway.

Dan Yates, founder of outdoor accommodation platform Pitchup.com, said: “Caravan holidays are a fantastic choice for families, offering the freedom of the great outdoors, space to explore, and precious time together without the usual distractions.

“They’re more flexible than traditional seven-night package deals and far more affordable, leaving room in the budget for a few extra treats!”

Here are Pitchup’s top holiday park picks in North, Mid, and West Wales, all of which still have availability this October half-term.

In North Wales, the Bron-Y-Wendon Holiday Park is located just off the A55 North Wales Expressway and 25 minutes from Snowdon, the static caravans here are perfect for walking, hiking, and taking in the views.

The site is relatively quiet with no bar or restaurant, but the nearby village of Llanddulas has a pub, restaurant, and chippy.

Dogs are welcome, with various units earmarked as pet-friendly.
