Natland Caravan Park Recognised As PHHPA Award Winner For Startup Park Operator

The Park Home & Holiday Park Association is incredibly proud to officially announce one of our latest award winners, *Natland Caravan Park, with owner David France being recognised as a PHHPA Award Winner for Startup Park Operator.

Located in the beautiful village of Natland, near Kendal, Cumbria, on the edge of the world-famous Lake District National Park, Natland Caravan Park represents exactly what the PHHPA Awards were created to celebrate passion, commitment, entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Taking ownership of your first holiday park is never a simple journey. It requires vision, courage, investment, resilience and a willingness to take on significant responsibility whilst maintaining the standards that customers expect. Since taking over Natland Caravan Park just a couple of years ago, David France has demonstrated exactly the qualities we look to recognise within the UK park industry.

Originally established many years ago, Natland Caravan Park has undergone significant transformation under David’s leadership. Through careful investment, ongoing renovation and a clear commitment to improving the overall customer experience, David has worked tirelessly to enhance both the quality of the accommodation and the overall park environment available to holidaymakers visiting this beautiful part of the United Kingdom.

Natland Caravan Park is a small, exclusive and peaceful holiday park offering a unique countryside escape, with luxury lodges and caravans set within tranquil surroundings just minutes from Kendal and the stunning landscapes of the Lake District. The park enjoys exceptional positioning close to Windermere, Ambleside, Coniston and many of Cumbria’s most popular tourist destinations, making it a highly attractive destination for guests looking for relaxation, outdoor adventure and luxury holiday accommodation.

What impressed us most about David’s journey has been his entrepreneurial mindset and his obvious passion for continuously improving the park whilst ensuring guests enjoy a memorable and high-quality stay. Building, improving and repositioning a park business requires enormous dedication, and David has embraced that challenge exceptionally well.

At the Park Home & Holiday Park Association, we believe the industry should celebrate operators who genuinely care about their customers, who continue to invest into improving standards and who represent the future of ethical and professional park ownership.

We are therefore extremely proud to welcome Natland Caravan Park as a member of the Park Home & Holiday Park Association and officially recognise David France as a PHHPA Award Winner in the Startup Park Operator category.

Businesses like Natland Caravan Park remind us exactly why these awards exist.

To recognise exceptional operators.
To celebrate entrepreneurial success.
To showcase businesses that are raising standards across the UK holiday park industry.

On behalf of the entire team at PHHPA, I would like to personally congratulate David France on this fantastic achievement.

We look forward to watching Natland Caravan Park continue its growth journey and we are delighted to showcase this well-deserved recognition.

Congratulations David and congratulations Natland Caravan Park.

Your hard work, commitment and passion for excellence have not gone unnoticed.

Best wishes,

Bradley Chapman
Director General
Park Home & Holiday Park Association
