THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE

Posted on May 14, 2025

How Water Play is making a big splash in the Holiday Park industry...

In an era where guest expectations are higher than ever and competition is fierce, water play is quickly becoming one of the most powerful tools in the holiday park operator’s arsenal. Across the UK and Europe, parks of all sizes are recognising that innovative aquatic attractions aren’t just for cooling down, they’re driving footfall, extending stays and creating lifelong memories.

For site owners and managers looking to refresh or expand their facilities, two leading players Ustigate Waterplay and Edsun are delivering exciting, energy-efficient, and inclusive water play experiences that cater to every age and ability. From playful splashpads to adrenaline-pumping waterslides, the latest developments in water play are offering a whole new level of engagement for families and thrill-seekers alike.

DESIGNING FOR FUN, BUILT FOR THE FUTURE
Ustigate Waterplay, with over 50 years of expertise in aquatic play, continues to push boundaries in both design and sustainability. Partnering with world leaders Vortex Aquatic Structures International and wiegand.waterrides, Ustigate creates water attractions that are visually striking, tactilely engaging, and operationally efficient. “Our mission is to maximise fun while minimising resource use,” explains a Ustigate spokesperson.

“Whether we’re designing a brand-new splashpad or modernising an existing pool, every element is planned with inclusivity, energy efficiency, and long-term adaptability in mind.” This philosophy is best illustrated through their recently completed project at Freshwater Beach Holiday Park in Bridport, Dorset.

USTIGATE’S NEW VECTORY™ collection
offers a fresh take on splashpad interactivity.

FRESHWATER BEACH HOLIDAY PARK, DORSET
Freshwater Beach, a popular privately owned holiday park on the Jurassic Coast—underwent a significant aquatic upgrade in early 2025. Ustigate replaced a single-lane waterslide with a multi-racer version capable of entertaining three riders simultaneously.

The transformation also included the installation of Vortex Elevations™, an action-packed water structure filled with climbing features, interactive spray bars, cascading floral showers, and the ever-popular Seeflow™ dumping buckets. According to Tristan Brookes, the park’s Swimming Pool Manager, the impact has been immediate:

“Working with Ustigate Waterplay has been an absolute pleasure. From concept to completion, the process was seamless, and the finished result has far exceeded expectations. The guest feedback—even before opening— has been overwhelmingly positive. We’re confident it will be a major driver of visitor numbers this season.”

General Manager James Newman echoes the sentiment: “This project is part of our wider redevelopment strategy. Not only does the new facility look fantastic, but we’ve also reduced humidity in the pool hall and made the environment more comfortable and efficient to run. It’s a win-win.”

PARK HOLIDAYS’ CHICHESTER Lakeside Holiday Park scooped Swimming Pool Awards in February.

WHAT’S NEW FOR 2025
For operators looking to invest in the latest aquatic trends, Ustigate’s new VECTORY™ collection offers a fresh take on splashpad interactivity. With nine brand-new elements and three innovative technologies—Twistflow™, Pulsespray™ and DualSpray™—children can rotate, push, and pull their way to unexpected splashes and strategic group play.

The collection includes Dynamik, a series of low-level water wall obstacle courses, and Apex, a thrilling dual-sided feature where competitors battle to tip a water bucket over their opponent. Also turning heads in 2025 is the Watergarden range—nature-inspired features such as Helico Butterflies, spinning orbs, and floral showers that provide both sensory stimulation and visual appeal.

Its water play that’s not only fun but deeply connected to the natural world. Ustigate’s CoolHub™ is a multi-functional chill-out zone that blends relaxation with playful engagement.

Available in six Abrio modules, CoolHub™ includes shaded benches, a soft rain curtain, stone weirs for flow play, and integrated solar LED lighting. It’s ideal for extending guest dwell time and offering respite for families between more active water play sessions.

USTIGATE WATERLAY’S full suite of waterslides are sourced from their partner, wiegand.waterrides.

SMART, SUSTAINABLE, AND COST-EFFECTIVE
Water and energy efficiency remain central to Ustigate’s design ethos. Key innovations include:

• On-demand water activation: Play features remain dormant until a button is pressed, reducing water waste when not in use.
• Sequenced play zones: Features operate in groups or staggered bursts to conserve water while maintaining the element of surprise.
• Overspray zones: Reclaim and recycle water within the splashpad footprint.
• Remote-access controllers: Manage water usage, maintenance and scheduling from anywhere, via Ustigate’s smart plant room technology.
• Optional solar PV integration: Lower your site’s carbon footprint with solar support from Ustigate’s affiliated power experts, Burnell.

For multi-site operators, Ustigate’s Safeswap™ anchor system allows for seasonal product changes without excavation—making it easy to rotate features between parks or upgrade zones in phases.

CUSTOMISATION AND CREATIVITY WITH EDSUN
French specialist Edsun also brings more than 30 years of aquatic expertise to the table, offering ergonomic, safe, and vividly themed water play features. Their approach is especially appealing to sites looking for highly customisable elements that tie into broader branding or storytelling.

Edsun’s waterslides, made using RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), are available in family-friendly and thrill-seeker variants. They come with a sleek, glossy finish and can be tailored to suit any environment in colour, layout, and theme. For younger visitors, Edsun’s wading pool accessories—including pirate ships, jungle animals, and water tables—bring gentle play and imaginative interaction into shallow water settings.

Beyond splash zones, Edsun also supplies durable timber and aluminium outdoor play equipment, blending beautifully into woodland or coastal settings. Their comprehensive design-to-installation service includes 3D visualisation, ensuring each site gets exactly what it envisions.

Each play area is more than a feature - it's a destination within your park.

PROVEN RESULTS ACROSS EUROPE
Edsun’s portfolio includes standout installations at major campsites and leisure parks, including Camping Amfora in Spain.

Clients praise the company’s flexibility, responsiveness, and ability to deliver creative solutions that resonate with family audiences. “Our aim is always to provide long-lasting, fun-filled experiences that drive repeat visits,” says an Edsun representative.

“Each play area is more than a feature—it’s a destination within your park.”

EDSUN INTERACTIVE water walls are great for all ages.

WASHROOM REVIVAL

Posted on May 14, 2025

Elevating Toilet, Shower & Washroom Facilities on your site...

As UK holidaymakers continue to prioritise comfort, cleanliness, and eco-consciousness during their travels, the humble washroom has emerged as a key player in shaping guest satisfaction.

For owners and managers of holiday parks, caravan parks, campsites and glamping sites, upgrading toilet, shower, and washroom facilities is no longer a luxury – it’s an essential component of modern hospitality.

With new innovations in design, functionality, and sustainability, there’s never been a better time to invest in next-generation facilities.

BILLING AQUA DROME supplied and fitted by Total Cubicles.

WHAT GUESTS EXPECT IN 2025
Today’s Park guests seek facilities that are not just functional, but pleasant and hygienic. The days of draughty, dimly lit, and poorly ventilated toilet blocks are long gone. Visitors now expect washrooms to reflect the same quality they enjoy at home – if not better.

This shift has seen a boom in the popularity of cubicle systems that are durable, waterproof, hygienic, and visually appealing. Total Cubicle Solutions, a leading manufacturer and supplier in this space, is helping transform tired facilities into bright, modern, and stylish spaces.

Their cubicles, lockers and vanity units have enhanced sites like Park Holidays Ltd’s Sand Le Mere and Par Sands parks, and Billing Aqua Drome’s outdoor shower units, setting the bar for premium site amenities. “Our systems are built not only for durability and hygiene but also to help operators inject real style and identity into their washroom areas,” says a spokesperson from Total Cubicle Solutions.

“Each cubicle is customisable, making it easy to match existing branding and elevate the entire guest experience.” With high footfall throughout peak seasons, easy maintenance and longevity are just as important as aesthetics. Solid-grade laminate options provide a long-lasting, vandal-resistant solution that remains easy to clean and resilient in all weather conditions.

TACKLING THE WATER CRISIS HEAD-ON
Another major consideration for park operators is sustainability – particularly water conservation. With the UK facing mounting pressure on water resources, efficiency is now critical. One company at the forefront of water-saving technology is Cistermiser, which has welcomed Ofwat’s new £100 million Water Efficiency Fund as a pivotal move towards sustainable progress.

“We strongly support the fund and its potential to drive meaningful reductions in water usage,” says Richard Braid, Managing Director of Cistermiser. “But innovation doesn’t have to be complex. Our infrared urinal controls and sensor-activated WC dual flush systems are smart, effective, and proven to deliver real savings.”

Cistermiser’s EasyflushEVO, a leak-proof siphonic dual flush valve, is a standout example of this innovation. By eliminating below-waterline seals prone to wear and scale build-up, it provides a reliable solution to the UK’s 1.5 million estimated leaky toilets – each potentially wasting up to 400 litres of water a day.

Such technologies don’t just help holiday park operators cut water bills; they also ensure compliance with growing sustainability regulations. As the hospitality industry evolves to meet eco-friendly targets, adopting efficient washroom systems has become both a financial and environmental imperative.

The days of draughty, dimly lit, and poorly ventilated toilet blocks are long gone.

AWARD-WINNING STANDARDS IN GUEST FACILITIES
Holiday parks that go the extra mile in their washroom facilities are gaining recognition, too. The Loo of the Year Awards continues to celebrate the best in British washrooms, including caravan and camping sites.

The 2024 awards, held at the National Motorcycle Museum, honoured Bryndu Caravan Park’s Eva Tamaz-Szora as the UK’s top washroom technician. Her win underscores the importance of dedicated maintenance and high standards in ensuring exceptional guest experiences.

Becky Wall BEM, organiser of the awards, highlighted the broader impact: “Toilets and washrooms are an essential part of customer service. Celebrating those who prioritise cleanliness, accessibility, and care shines a light on what modern guests truly value.”

The awards’ rigorous 101-point grading system covers everything from signage and accessibility to hygiene and decor, inspiring operators to keep pushing standards higher.

WATER BILLS on the rise advise Cistermiser.

FUNCTION MEETS FLAIR
Washroom design is undergoing a renaissance. Whether it’s stylish vanity units, nature-inspired interiors, or enhanced lighting schemes, design is being used to both impress and serve.

Seamless surfaces, sensor taps, and contactless flushing all support hygiene while elevating the visual and tactile guest experience. Operators are now also investing in private shower pods, family-friendly washroom suites, and even accessible Changing Places facilities to accommodate visitors with complex needs.

The latter, championed by Martin Jackaman – recent recipient of the Loo of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award – are rapidly expanding across the UK, ensuring inclusivity for all.

DESIGN AND PRACTICALITY in abundance for this outstanding facility at Flamingo Land.

INVEST TO IMPRESS
Ultimately, upgrading washroom facilities isn’t just about style or environmental responsibility – it’s about guest retention and reputation. In a world where online reviews can make or break a destination, providing clean, modern, and well-managed washrooms is a business essential.

For those managing campsites, holiday parks, or glamping getaways, these upgrades can lead to happier guests, better reviews, and stronger bookings season after season.

With support from forward-thinking suppliers like Cistermiser and Total Cubicle Solutions, and the visibility offered by initiatives like the Loo of the Year Awards, there’s never been a better time for park owners to raise the bar.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN A COMFY BED!

Posted on May 14, 2025

Hybrid working has blurred the lines between ‘holiday’ and ‘home’ and as a direct result, connectivity expectations have undertaken a seismic upturn. Recent research showed that 78% of guests expect ultrafast Wi-Fi across the entire park with 31% considering reliable Wi-Fi as more important than a comfortable bed.

Today’s holiday park visitors don’t just want but demand the same seamless on-line access they get at home. That means delivering strong and robust Wi- Fi has become as essential as providing water and electricity. Poor Wi-Fi experiences lead to lower park review scores and reduced guest retention.

Parks that fail to deliver a strong connection risk losing out to competitors who recognise the importance of a top-tier digital experience. “The UK leisure and holiday park sector is an industry going through one of the most dynamic periods of transformation I’ve seen,” says Kendal Stacey of Wifinity UK, on the back of 25 years of specialist experience.

“It’s no longer just about delivering Wi-Fi to a static caravan — it’s about enabling a smart, digital-first environment where every touchpoint, from check-in to entertainment, is frictionless.” Founded in 2007, Wifinity has become a market leader in managed connectivity solutions, specialising in complex and hard-to-reach environments.

THE DEMAND FOR FAST, reliable Wi-Fi at holiday parks isn’t a passing trend, it’s an expectation that will only continue to grow.

Originally founded to solve connectivity issues for military personnel living in remote MOD barracks, Wifinity has expanded its expertise to a variety of industries including education, healthcare and residential communities.

Wifinity works with 4/5 of the UK’s top parks, providing internet to over 25,000 holiday let accommodation units, and holiday parks is a significant specialist area. Winning holiday destinations now need to think like both hoteliers and tech providers combined, taking a broad perspective encompassing:
• Smart energy management
• Digital signage
• EV infrastructure

Kendal reports: “Parks are investing in IoT, mobile-first guest platforms, and cloud-based infrastructure to stay competitive, meet guest expectations and optimise operations. These need a strong underpinning connectivity network to be effective. “It’s an exciting space — one that blends decades of traditional guest service with the cutting edge of tech innovation.”

Investing in the IT network and Wi-Fi is not just about investment cost but also revenue generation by future-proofing your venue as a key asset while improving guest satisfaction. By comparison, poor connectivity can lead to negative reviews, lost repeat bookings, and brand damage.

Strong connectivity and premium Wi-Fi tiers drive revenue streams. Smart point-of-sale systems, kiosks and mobile ordering rely on a robust network foundation. Better connectivity leads to more on-site spend, especially when guests can easily order food, book activities or upgrade experiences via an app.

Smooth operation allows holiday businesses to think outside of the box with such innovations as pop-up food and beverage, retail or services and providing secure EPOS, allowing you to trade anywhere “Strong connectivity actually becomes a selling point in itself,"

Kendal points out, “Reviews go up. Word of mouth spreads. Repeat visits increase. “Parks that can market “connected luxury” or “work-from-holiday” win business over those that can’t,” he points out. Guests now bring an average of 3–5 devices per family member — phones, tablets, smart TVs, gaming consoles. Investing in the network enables:
• Streaming services in accommodation
• Smart room features (heating, lighting)
• App-based bookings and real-time info

But it is not all about the guest experience. Streamlined operations is proven to reduces cost through increased efficiency as a strong IT network supports:
• Staff communication and mobility
• Smart energy management (reducing utility costs)
• CCTV and ANPR systems
• Real-time occupancy and usage tracking.

This all adds up to lower overheads and better decision-making. “Investing in a robust network keeps your business competitive,” comments Kendal. “Other parks are already doing this — those who don’t invest will fall behind.”

OPERATORS WHO INVEST in robust, future-proof solutions will not only see higher guest satisfaction but also increased revenue and operational efficiency.

“With hybrid working and workations now the norm, guests are choosing locations with reliable connectivity so they can stay longer and blend work with leisure.” Building trust through security and compliance, modern networks include enterprise-grade security, guest data protection and content filtering — protecting your brand and your guests from risks.

Especially important for family-friendly and corporate clientele including:
• Guest data protection (GDPR compliance)
• Network segmentation to protect business systems
• Content filtering for family-friendly environments

A foundation in future technology is essential for holiday venues looking to introduce features such as:
• EV chargers
• Mobile check-in
• Smart TVs
• In-park digital signage

All of that depends on a scalable and resilient network including:
• Wi-Fi 7 adoption for higher speeds and lower latency
• Edge computing at park level to process data locally
• AI analytics to understand guest behaviour and improve services
• Integration with CRM systems for personalised guest experiences
• Data driven decisions

Kendal urges: “A modern IT network is not just about Wi-Fi — it’s about creating a digitally enabled park that delights guests, empowers staff, reduces costs, and builds brand loyalty. “For park owners, it’s an investment in long-term growth. It’s a fundamental and valuable asset that every park owner would consider when buying or selling a park.”

HOLIDAY PARK ADOPTS FLOOD ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Posted on May 13, 2025

Weir Caravan Park in Stamford Bridge has become the first site in Yorkshire to install Flood Adaptive Platforms, pioneering flood-resilient holiday accommodation. Developed by Yorkshire-based Flood Technology Group, the innovation allows caravans to automatically elevate in response to rising water levels, offering vital protection against flooding.

This ground breaking initiative not only safeguards the site’s accommodation but also enables the park to secure full flood insurance coverage through specialist provider Compass. The move is part of site owner Kevin Hind’s strategy to future-proof the business in light of increasing flood risks.

The installation follows the recent implementation of a Flood Early Warning System at the park, providing real-time updates to facilitate timely evacuations. Up to ten pitches will eventually feature the flood-responsive platforms.

Simon Gilliland, CEO of Flood Technology Group, emphasized the growing need for such innovations: “With climate change accelerating flood risks, adaptive solutions like ours are essential for holiday parks. Our technology has already proven successful in modular homes and lodges, and we’re seeing rising demand across the UK.”

Kevin Hind added, “This cutting-edge technology provides peace of mind for us and our visitors. The installation was seamless, and we’re confident it’s the best way to protect both people and property.”

MAXIMISING THE HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE

Introducing the KAASPEED all-electric scooter. Now there’s the opportunity to offer customers an exciting, comfortable, fun and convenient way to get around, maximising their holiday experience and allowing them to make the most of their time, enjoying the facilities on offer.

PUT SAFETY FIRST FOR ULTIMATE PEACE OF MIND
Safety is not a problem with the maximum speed setting function. There’s a top speed of 26mph, but with a preset card it’s possible to select a personal maximum speed to mitigate risk.

The scooter is easy to use ensuring safety from an operational perspective. It’s stable thanks to the self-balancing wheels and is free-standing when parked.

TRANSPORTATION TO TACKLE ANY TERRAIN
One of the greatest assets for many holiday parks is how they give customers access to nature – forests, woods, parkland, even the beach – and KAASPEED makes it fun to explore thanks to its multi-terrain capabilities.

There are two choices of tyres. For hard surface roads and paths: use the standard multi-use turf/hard surface tyres, available in both a standard radius and as flat self-balancing. For woodland, grassy or sandy surfaces: use the Scorpion tyre for better traction on looser terrains.

EXPLORE FURTHER FOR LONGER A KAASPEED
scooter can carry passengers for up to 38 miles on a single charge so there’s no need to worry about battery range or running out of power.

MAKING ADVENTURE ACCESSIBLE

CARRY EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR THE JOURNEY
Optional extras include a shopping basket or cargo rack and there are plenty of smaller features and accessories such as bluetooth speakers, rearview mirrors, throttle locks and front fitting carry cases. This makes them an efficient transportation for staff too.

With the shopping tray or cargo rack, they become ideal vehicles for carrying housekeeping equipment for maintenance tasks, hotel room inspections, room service and transporting packages and luggage. It can even provide security staff with an unobtrusive way of patrolling a venue.

High-quality materials and clever design also result in lower maintenance costs than other modes of transport, making KAASPEED scooters a sound investment all around. Give guests a five-star experience With zero emissions and zero noise pollution, KAASPEED keeps disruption to a minimum.

CUSTOMERS GOING PAPERLESS RAISE OVER £200K FOR HEART RESEARCH UK

Posted on May 10, 2025

Caravan, campervan, and motorhome owners have helped Halifax-based insurance specialists Caravan Guard and Leisuredays reach a landmark £214,000 in donations to Heart Research UK by choosing paperless policies.

Since 2010, Caravan Guard has pledged £1 to Heart Research UK each time a customer opts to receive their policy documents via email rather than by post. In 2025, the company hit an incredible milestone, with a record-breaking £25,405 donated in the 2024 policy year alone.

Beyond paperless donations, Caravan Guard staff have taken on major fundraising challenges such as the Great North Run and the Great Yorkshire Bike Ride, raising additional funds for vital heart disease research.

A study published in The Lancet highlights the importance of such efforts, revealing that 25 to 44-year-olds in northern England are 47% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than their southern counterparts.

To celebrate this achievement, Heart Research UK and Caravan Guard hosted a staff health check event, providing blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, as well as a fun ‘Strike a Light’ game to encourage heart-healthy activity.

Managing Director Ryan Wilby said: “We’re thrilled to donate a record-breaking amount to Heart Research UK. Thanks to our growing customer base, we can continue supporting life-saving medical research.”

Heart Research UK CEO Kate-Bratt Farrar added: “Caravan Guard’s unwavering support has been instrumental in funding research and promoting heart health. Together, we’re making a real difference.”
