With about 2.8 million residents, the North East is the least populous English region and contains Hadrian's Wall and the Cheviot Hills. We arrange the full range of holiday park and caravan park finance across the North East, from the acquisition mortgages that buy a static, lodge, touring or glamping park to the bridging, development and expansion finance behind new lodge pitches, glamping or site infrastructure, and the refinance and equity release that frees capital for the next deal. Park market data is published at national and regional level by Savills, the UKCCA and VisitBritain, so the figures above are attributed to their sources, while the housing-transaction figure is genuinely local Land Registry data for the catchments we track.
The North East is a smaller but fast-growing park market: the Northumberland coast draws rising visitor numbers on its beaches, castles and AONB scenery, and Haggerston Castle is one of the largest Haven parks in the country. Lodge and glamping diversification is a clear theme on the scenic coast, while the County Durham coast offers value family parks. We arrange acquisition, refinance and development finance across the Northumberland and Durham coast, where the gap between entry prices and a scenic, improving catchment is favourable.
What drives the North East holiday park market:
- the Northumberland coast AONB: beaches, castles and dark skies driving lodge and glamping growth
- Haggerston Castle, one of the largest holiday parks in the North of England
- a rising staycation coast with a strong Newcastle and Tyneside catchment

Finance
The park finance we arrange in the North East
Holiday park & caravan park mortgages
We arrange commercial mortgages to buy static caravan parks, lodge parks, touring and camping sites and glamping ventures across the UK. As an introducer we place each case with lenders who understand park trading income rather than residential loan to value.
Park development & expansion finance
We arrange staged development finance to add new static, lodge, touring and glamping pitches, build facilities and lay infrastructure. Funding is drawn against cost and end value, then refinanced onto a park mortgage once the new income is trading.
Holiday park bridging finance
We arrange short-term bridging to buy a holiday or caravan park quickly, whether at auction, against a deadline, or before clean accounts are available. Pricing starts indicatively from around 0.75 percent per month, with a clear exit onto a park mortgage or sale.
Holiday park refinance & equity release
We arrange refinance to re-rate existing park debt and equity release to free capital against improved EBITDA. The released funds can fund expansion, further acquisitions or a partial release across a multi-park portfolio.
Multi-park portfolio finance
When you run more than one park, separate loans on separate parks rarely serve you well. We arrange a single facility across the group, secured on the portfolio, sized on aggregate trading and built to flex as you buy, sell and refinance.
Glamping & lodge development finance
Building a luxury lodge park or a glamping site is a development project before it is a trading business. We arrange staged development funding against cost and end value, with drawdowns that track construction and an exit planned from day one.
Leisure & trading-business park mortgages
A holiday park is a trading business, not a row of houses. We arrange income and EBITDA-based commercial mortgages on the park as a going concern, sized on the accounts, the licence, the tenure and the strength of the operator behind it.
