February 27, 2025 | Caravan ownership | 12 minute read

Many people dream of owning their own holiday home on the North Norfolk coast. Maybe you do too? Choosing to buy a static caravan holiday home is one of the best ways to make that dream come true, and you don’t get much a better site than Pinewoods Holiday Park in Wells-next-the-Sea. So, let’s explore just a few reasons why you should consider buying a static caravan holiday home from us.

Why buy a static caravan holiday home?

Buying your own static caravan holiday home is a big decision, and there are several things to consider if you’re planning to make such a purchase. We’re more than happy to answer any questions you have and help you to decide whether this is the right decision for you. 

If you’re flirting with the idea (or trying to persuade your partner!), here are some of the benefits of buying your own caravan holiday home.

Your static caravan can become your home away from home

Purchasing your own static caravan holiday home gives you the ability to return to the same place over and over again. We’ve all fallen in love with a place – or the feeling you get when you’re in that place – and felt a desire to return.

Buying a caravan means owning a little slice of that place you love. That café with the best sandwiches you’ve ever eaten, the beach where you have wonderful memories (and want to make more), the sense of calm you feel as you wander the local area? That could be yours, whenever you like!

In owning a caravan holiday home somewhere, you can settle in and enjoy a place in a far deeper sense than when you stay for just a few days. You can really start to belong in this home away from home.

Less packing!

Are you a fan of packing for holidays? Some people love the excitement it brings, others see it as a necessary evil before the holiday can start.

While there’ll always be a certain level of packing involved, owning a static caravan means you can leave things there!  You might be surprised by just how many clever storage solutions there are in a caravan holiday home, and these just mean there’s plenty of space for your jumpers, favourite cereal, books and so on. Take the pressure out of packing by keeping all of your essentials there, ready and waiting for your next visit. 

Flexibility

Forecast looking great for this weekend but you don’t want to fork out on a hotel? In need of some quiet time away right now? Or simply no plans for the next few days (but you’d like some)?

We’ve all been there!

Having the option to visit your holiday home any time you like* is one of the very best reasons to buy a static caravan. You have complete flexibility to check the weather forecast, see it’s sunny, drop everything and travel to your home away from home, ready for a day on the beach and fish and chips on the quay. 

And of course, there’s no stress! When you have to find somewhere to book – whether for a last-minute getaway or a planned holiday – it can be stressful and/or a challenge to find something that suits your needs and preferences. When you own, you know that there’s a space waiting for you that you love. 

* Just a note to say we’re typically closed between early January and mid-March.

The price

If you’re dreaming of buying a second home, holiday home or bolthole, a static caravan is far more affordable than buying a brick-and-mortar holiday cottage (particularly in North Norfolk!).

That dream might be closer than you think! Give us a call on 01328 711870 or register your interest here to find out more about the cost of owning your caravan holiday home at Pinewoods. 

Easy to maintain and enjoy

When you buy a brand new static caravan, you can pick the model you’d like! That means choosing the design and layout that’s right for you and your preferences. You can get impressive, modern statics that offer great practicality and comfort. Plus, many come furnished, so they’re ready to enjoy right away. All you need to do is perhaps bring pictures, trinkets or soft furnishings to really make yourselves feel at home.

In addition, they’re far easier to maintain than a holiday cottage, simply because there’s far less that could go wrong and less space to keep clean! That means you can enjoy the benefits of a holiday home without the potential added stress of renovating, redecorating or repairing a brick-and-mortar holiday cottage.

Why buy a static caravan holiday home at Pinewoods?

So you’re thinking of buying a static caravan holiday home on the North Norfolk coast, but aren’t sure where to choose? Let’s explore why Pinewoods Holiday Park in Wells-next-the-Sea might be the best caravan park to choose!

Unrivalled location

We might be biased, but we think our holiday park is in the dreamiest location in Norfolk (and probably the UK!).

Wells Beach is considered one of the best beaches in the country thanks to its expansive sands, candy-coloured beach huts and the pine woods that back it. It’s a truly beautiful spot, and Pinewoods Holiday Park is the closest you can stay to it! So if you’re looking for balmy beach days in the sunshine or winter walks in the woods, we’re the place for you.

Plus, Wells-next-the-Sea town is just a mile away – a lovely walk along the sea wall, a ride on the Beach Bus or a short cycle. Wells is a much-loved holiday destination in Norfolk, known for its stunning quay and its fantastic selection of restaurants, cafés, pubs and shops.

Add to these that Pinewoods sits on the Norfolk Coast Path and next to the Holkham National Nature Reserve, both offering ample opportunities for strolls and birdwatching, we truly believe Pinewoods’ location is unparalleled! 

A peaceful holiday park

Pinewoods isn’t your average holiday park. Here, you won’t find a clubhouse, bar, swimming pool or live entertainment. It’s just not what we do. Instead, we offer a holiday park that’s calm and peaceful, where the birdsong provides live music, the sea is your swimming pool, and the local town offers a great assortment of food and drink.

So if you’re looking for somewhere in a beautiful location, where you can relax and enjoy the environment and the simple things in life, you’ll find that at Pinewoods.

Studies suggest that most of us would benefit from more time in nature, and Pinewoods offers plenty of that! With lakeside plots, an allotment for owners to enjoy and a woodland area all on site, as well as the beach, nature reserve and pine woods we’ve already mentioned, you’re bound to feel the benefits of time spent in nature here.

Our landscaping team keep a healthy balance of things looking tidy but being pollinator-friendly too, encouraging plenty of biodiversity across the park.

Facilities

Our holiday park offers a range of facilities to make the stays in your home away from home even more comfortable.

The Pinewoods Store is open daily from March to October with a great range of food, whether you want to opt for local produce or are looking for national favourites. With everything from fresh produce, snacks and store cupboard essentials, there’s plenty to stock up your fridge and kitchen cupboards! Plus, you can purchase newspapers, children’s toys, souvenirs, cleaning equipment and a tipple or two!

The on-site launderettes have washers and dryers and are open daily, so you can get everything cleaned (while you sit back and enjoy that tipple, perhaps).

We also have a gym exclusively for owners to enjoy during their stays with us!

Static caravan models from top manufacturers

We work with excellent holiday homes and static caravan manufacturers who are the leading names in the industry, including Willerby, Swift and ABI.
