Against the backdrop of a downturn in domestic holidays having impacted the caravan, camping and glamping industries in 2025, Premium Credit is partnering with holiday parks to provide a financing option that allows holiday home owners to pay their pitch fees in convenient instalments.
This option reduces late payments, eases administrative workloads and offers customers a practical way to manage annual costs. It provides a win-win solution both for customers who can spread the cost of annual pitch fees, improving their cash flow, as well as parks which benefit from stabilising their income stream.
Figures from the UK Caravan and Camping Alliance show there are over 151,000 owner-occupied caravan and lodge pitches in England alone, highlighting the importance of reliable pitch fee collection and payment flexibility within the sector.
Nigel Stewart, Sales Director – Sports, Professions & Leisure at Premium Credit, commented: “Pitch fees represent a significant outlay for many holiday homeowners. Offering a regulated finance option brings greater payment certainty for operators and gives customers more control over how they manage their budgets.”
Premium Credit’s online finance platform is built to integrate with existing park systems and provides real-time oversight of payment activity, supported by FCA regulatory protections.
Chloe Squires, Director of Customer Experience, Parkdean Resorts said: “Premium Credit’s reputation and digital focus align with our strategy. The partnership has improved efficiency, freed up staff time, and made the customer journey seamless. It’s game-changing to give customers the ability to self-serve and manage their finances simply and securely.”
