Although spring showers might still happen, temperatures should start rising enough to enjoy sports and outdoor activities.
March, April and early May are less busy than the peak summer season and should still offer decent weather – although not comparable with July and August.
During this time, most attractions near holiday parks start reopening- whether theme parks, zoos, or coastline attractions.
The holiday company has 66 parks across the nation, and there’s availability all week long – so you could head on a mid-week getaway or weekend break away from home.
Some popular destinations include Cornwall, Yorkshire, Devon, Norfolk, Dorset, Isle of Wight and Essex.
Parkdean Resorts has also launched exclusive Nickelodeon weekenders, with character meet & greets and themed parties.
Little ones will meet PAW Patrol‘s Chase, Marshall and Skye, SpongeBob SquarePants, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The holiday parks also have “more than 100 indoor and outdoor activities” suitable for all ages.
Most parks have swimming pools, and some of them even include some waterslides and water features.
The cheapest deals we’ve found are on four-night stays, costing from £99 – which works out at just £7pp a night.
Here are some of the best deals we’ve spotted this spring:
Two-night breaks
Three-night breaks
Four-night breaks
The activities include anything from laser tag, football and crazy golf to arts and crafts, bowling and board games.
All the parks also have on-site dining options, outdoor pools and free wifi in communal spaces.
For more family-friendly deals, kids eat for £1 at Haven and caravan holidays from £13pp a night in August.
If you’re willing to travel further, we’ve found a massive hotel in Turkey with its own theme park and waterpark – just five minutes from the beach.
And we’ve also rounded up five top-rated UK holiday parks on TripAdvisor – with lazy river pools, adventure villages and nearby beaches.
Best staycation locations for 2024
1. Bristol
The arty harbour city was the top spot on the list and is bursting with culture and trendy cafes scattered along the River Avon.
A bubbling hub for creatives, Bristol is the birthplace of street artist Banksy, and you can admire some of his best early works on a free walking tour.
2. Hull
The Humberside port city started to get recognition last year, and it has a thriving nightlife scene – if that’s something you’re after.
The old town is crawling with history and classy buildings, whose walls have many stories to tell and The Deep is a fascinating aquarium attraction.
3. Isles of Scilly
Just off the Cornish coast, it’s easy to see why the archipelago made it into the top three.
Here, you can expect golden sandy beaches where you will be able to spot dolphins beyond the shoreline, as well as seafront pubs serving up hearty grub.
