Eight Scottish holiday parks with nearly 2,000 caravan pitches and lodges put up for sale

Property firm Colliers has been instructed to market the parks that were formerly part of the Cove group, a prominent operator in the sector.

The parks employ some 450 people across the 11 sites and are operating under the oversight of a specialist management firm. Offers are being sought for either the shares or business and assets.

The largest element of the portfolio is in the west of Scotland, comprising eight holiday parks with some 1,764 caravan pitches and 218 letting lodges and caravans. The portfolio includes flagship parks at Hunters Quay, Drimsynie and Loch Lomond, which were acquired in early 2022.

Meanwhile, Springwood Park in Kelso, in the Scottish Borders, is a predominantly private-owner holiday park with 179 owners and planning permission for up to 255 caravan pitches.

Overall, the full UK portfolio comprises 2,564 developed caravan pitches, including 1,707 private holiday homeowner pitches, 454 letting lodges and caravans and 108 residential park home pitches, with the remainder made up of vacant pitches, staff units and touring caravan pitches. In addition, there are a further 484 potential pitches to be developed.

Colliers noted that the portfolio was profitable in 2025 from a turnover of £41.4 million and is forecast to achieve increased revenue and profit this year following the introduction of a new management team.

Richard Moss, head of UK parks agency at Colliers, said: “These are well-established, formerly family-owned parks operating in popular holiday destinations, with robust underlying fundamentals. This is an interesting case with many positives; numerous operational efficiencies have been implemented in recent months meaning the trading outlook is positive.

“The priority over the past six months has been to stabilise the business and ensure continuity for customers and staff alike, and all parks are well positioned to perform strongly in 2026 and beyond.

“Whilst the economic headwinds of 2024 and 2025 presented trading challenges for the holiday park sector, the future looks positive. The sustainability of consumer demand for UK holidays is without question, and a substantial level of investor interest is anticipated.”
