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. 

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. 

Park Highlights: Choosing the Right Don Amott Park for Your Bring-On

Each Don Amott Park offers a slightly different lifestyle. Here’s a simple overview to help you decide which environment best suits your holiday home and how you like to spend your time.

How the Bring-On Process Works

Relocating your holiday home to a Don Amott Park is straightforward and well supported. 

The process typically includes: 

  1. Contacting the park team to discuss availability and suitability 
  2. Selecting a pitch that fits your home 
  3. Arranging professional disconnection and transport 
  4. Positioning, utilities, and final checks handled with park support 

The aim is to make the move as smooth and stress-free as possible. 

So, When Is the Best Month to Move?

Taking the 2026 season into account: 

  • Best months to move: March, April, September 
  • Best time to plan: December to February 
  • Best to avoid: Peak summer months 

The best choice depends on your priorities, whether that’s maximising your season, avoiding disruption, or moving at a calmer pace. 

Planning a Bring-On for 2026?

With the season running from Friday 6th March (9am) to Monday 30th November (2pm), now is the ideal time to start planning. Early conversations give you more choice, more flexibility, and a far smoother move.
