Looks like it will cost you £2,000 to £3,000 in annual fees to say the least. Sublets and limits on maximum number of weeks per year (to stop people living in them 365days/year) are also usually restricted from what I understand (unconfirmed).
Perhaps a deal for some, but not most.

Buying a Caravan Holiday Home is a big decision.
It's important that you think about all the facts - work out your budget for buying and the annual running costs.
We try and make buying as easy and affordable as possible. The sited price of your Caravan Holiday Home will normally include all siting and connection costs plus the first season's pitch fees and insurance charge. The exact details will be explained when you visit the holiday park of your choice.
In future years there will be various charges, most of which you will be familiar with from household bills.
Pitch fees
These vary depending on location. Typically they range from around £1500 upwards and average around £2,500. Your pitch license agreement with us sets out the controls which limit future increases.
Rates and Water costs
We include rates and water costs in the pitch fees to make your charges as simple as possible - some Holiday Parks make a separate charge so if you are looking at several parks its an important issue to double check.
Gas and Electricity Charges
We invoice electricity based on individual meters for each Caravan Holiday Home - you will find usage charges are less than at home as we use our buying power and recharge at cost. Currently costs are around a third less per unit consumed than most people pay at home. Gas can be either cylinders or bulk LPG site - we monitor charges to ensure we offer good value for money plus a high level of service, but caravan owners are able to buy from wherever they like should they choose. Most owners budget around £300 a year for gas and electricity costs.
Insurance
Specialist Caravan Holiday Home insurance is important - each year we negotiate on your behalf so you can be offered the very best cover at affordable prices. Holiday Home owners are also free to buy suitable cover from other providers should they wish. Costs vary depending on the level of cover and are currently from £200 to £300 per year.
For full details contact the park of your choice who will be pleased to explain the likely running costs for any particular Caravan Holiday Home.
