About us

Tranquil Parks has been helping people to find peaceful getaways in exclusively adult touring parks for almost 20 years.

We’re a unique membership organisation for child-free touring parks, which are owned and managed as individual businesses. All our parks are committed to delivering the best customer service to those who appreciate holidaying in an exclusively adult touring park.

In the beginning…

The idea for Tranquil Parks came from Ray Betton of Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park. The concept of adult only parks was relatively unknown and Ray suggested that the parks could work together to put the word out to a wider audience. This would not only benefit the parks, but also make life easier for people who were looking for a peaceful, child-free haven with excellent facilities.

In 1999, Ray wrote to highly rated adult- only parks around the country and 7 parks attended the first meeting the following year. The first brochure was produced and there was a great deal of interest from the press.

Exclusively for you

We now have approx 42 member parks (all 4 or 5 star rated) and we’re still growing as more and more people enjoy the benefits of parks that are just for adults. But we’re very careful about which parks can join, as we need to maintain the high standards that you, our discerning guests, expect from Tranquil Parks.
