DCMS recognises the significant value campsites and holiday parks provide in supporting our rural and coastal economies and their contribution to the wider visitor economy.
Whilst DCMS has not conducted a formal assessment of the number of recreational campsites in England the UK Caravan & Camping Club's (UKCCA) 2024 "Pitching the Value" report, states in 2023 there were 4,754 holiday parks and campsites in England, offering around 320,901 pitches.
