British Graded Holiday Parks Scheme

The British Graded Holiday Parks Scheme (BGHPS) was devised by the National Tourist Boards for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales in association with the NCC and the British Holiday & Home Parks Association.

Each park is awarded a star grade and is also given a description which describes to visitors what type of park to expect e.g. 'Holiday Park' for parks whose main business is letting holiday caravans.

VisitBritain has developed an at-a-glance rating of holiday parks:
*              simple, comfortable, no frills
**            well presented and well run
***          good level of quality and comfort
****        excellent standard throughout
*****      exceptional with a degree of luxury 

The number of stars gives you an indication of accommodation standard, cleanliness, ambience, hospitality, service and food. Generally, the more stars the higher the level of quality.
