When Is the Best Month to Move Your Holiday Home onto a New Park?

Relocating your holiday home to a new park is a big decision, and timing can make a real difference to how smooth and stress-free the move feels. The right month can give you better availability, calmer conditions, and more time to settle in before the season gets busy. 

For owners considering Don Amott Parks, it’s also important to plan around the official season calendar. 

For the 2026 season: 

• All Don Amott Parks reopen at 9am on Friday 6th March 

• The season ends at 2pm on Monday 30th November 

With that in mind, here’s how to think about timing, and which parks may suit you best. 

Spring (March to May): Popular and Practical

Spring is one of the most common times for holiday home relocations. With parks reopening on Friday 6th March 2026, many owners aim to be moved early so they can enjoy the full season ahead. 

Why spring works well: 

• Our parks are fully operational again 

• Weather conditions are improving 

• Easier access for transport and siting 

• You’re settled before peak summer 

March and April are especially popular for owners who want to be in place for Easter and the warmer months. 

Things to consider: 
Because spring is busy, availability can be limited. Early enquiries are strongly recommended, get in touch today!  

Summer (June to August): Best Enjoyed, Not Moved

Summer is when parks are at their liveliest, and that’s exactly why it’s usually not the ideal time to relocate a holiday home. 

Why summer is less suitable: 

• Parks are at peak occupancy 

• Transport and siting windows are limited 

• You risk losing valuable holiday time 

Most owners prefer to be fully settled before summer begins rather than moving during it. 

Autumn (September to October): A Smart, Strategic Window

Autumn is often considered the most relaxed and practical time to move. The main season slows, but parks remain open and fully supported. 

Why autumn works well: 

• Quieter parks and better availability 

• Easier coordination with transport teams 

• Milder weather still common 

• Time to prepare your pitch before winter 

September and October are especially popular with experienced owners who prefer a calmer move. 

Winter (November to February): Plan, Prepare, Secure

The Don Amott Parks season ends at 2pm on Monday 30th November 2026. After this, parks close for the winter period. 

While physical moves are more limited during closure, winter is ideal for: 

• Securing a pitch 

• Completing paperwork 

• Planning utilities and positioning 

• Booking transport ready for March 

Many owners plan everything during winter so their holiday home is ready to arrive as soon as the parks reopen.
