We are pleased to have concluded the sale of Thornton’s Holt Camping Park near Nottingham to The Camping and Caravanning Club on behalf of the second generation family owners.

Thornton’s Holt has been superbly re-developed and enhanced across the attractive 13.5 acre site with modern eco facilities including rainwater harvesting and solar water heating. The owners have established a strong trading business that generates a high volume of repeat business from holiday makers.  With 175 caravan and camping pitches, caravan storage, shop and café the park benefits from a superb trading location close to Holme Pierrepoint, the National Water sports Centre and is also within easy reach of Nottingham.

The opportunity was brought to the market with a guide price in excess of £3.25M and as anticipated generated a great deal of interest from existing park operators, new entrants to the market and groups.

Adam Burkinshaw, Partner acting on behalf of the vendors said “Thornton’s Holt provides a superb example of a traditional touring caravan and camping park focussed on providing caravan owners with open space and great modern facilities.  We were delighted with the level of interest received and it was a pleasure to act on behalf of the owners Polly and Simon Jones. It was particularly pleasing to secure a sale to The Camping and Caravanning Club, one of the preferred buyers of the vendor from the outset. Our clients can now enjoy a well-earned break with the knowledge that the park remains in safe hands for generations to come.”

Vendors Polly and Simon said: “We were really keen to ensure Thornton’s Holt continued to be a touring site that provided a warm welcome to our customers, and we felt The Camping and Caravanning Club would be the perfect organisation to take our legacy forward – it’s a fairy-tale ending for us.”

Sabina Voysey, Director General of The Camping and Caravanning Club, said: “We’re really excited to acquire Thornton’s Holt, to build on the fantastic business that Polly and Simon have created and to strengthen our Club Site network.

“The Club has a proven track record of successfully operating campsites for more than a century, building strong community links, and ultimately providing excellent sites for campers to enjoy their holidays.”
