Holiday parks in Snowdonia and the rest of North Wales can be a fantastic investment. The region is well known for its rural setting, and the scenic views which can be found all around.
 
When selecting a holiday home, you’ll want to find a holiday park which best suits you. This means taking into consideration a great deal of factors, such as what the park can offer you, the location of it, and what the parks guidelines are.
 
Purchasing a holiday home should be an exciting investment, not a stressful one.
Here are a few pointers to help with the decision-making process.

Bringing your Pets

Many holiday parks allow people to take their dogs, however it’s always best to double check with the owners of the park.
 
If you do have a dog, taking them along with you on your holiday could end up saving you quite a bit of money on kennel costs - so it’s always a good idea to go with a pet friendly holiday park if you’ve got pets, even if you don’t plan on bringing them every time you go away.
 
With so many fantastic walking routes around North Wales, it’s the perfect place to bring your dog along and enjoy peaceful walks in woodlands and coastal trails. 

Check Accreditations 

There are a number of accreditations and awards which are awarded to great holiday parks. If a holiday park has earned any awards, they’ll typically be found displayed on their websites, brochures and in the park itself.
 
Holiday parks which actively strive to achieve awards are more likely to offer an enjoyable holiday experience. When looking for parks, keep an eye out for any awards they may have.

The Location 

It goes without saying that the location of a holiday park should be your first consideration.
 
If you enjoy holidays that are packed full of activity days, you’ll want to opt for a holiday park which isn’t too far from good attractions.
 
A peaceful holiday park in the middle of nowhere can make for an incredibly relaxing holiday retreat, but if you have to spend the majority of your days travelling to and from activities and attractions, this can become a bit of a chore.

Talk to the Existing Residents

If you get the opportunity to, it’s always good to find out more about the park from its existing residents. You’ll be able to get an honest opinion on different aspects of the park, such as the quality of the facilities and the general noise levels. 

Seasons 

Holiday parks vary in their opening seasons. Some open early March, and then close just before winter. Others benefit from a long season, opening in the spring and only closing in January for a few months.
 
You should select a holiday park that has a season which suits your lifestyle. If you’re planning on visiting during the winter, choosing a park with an extended season is a good idea.

Public and Private Parks

Some holiday parks offer their holiday homes as a purchase only, with no option of rental. This is great for those who would like to return to a community of holiday home owners each time they visit.
 
Returning a familiar community is great when it comes to social events at holiday parks, such as summer BBQs and other meetups. But it also means that you won’t be able to rent a holiday home before making your final decision to buy one.
