At today’s holiday parks, guest expectations are clear: fast, reliable WiFi in the caravan park is no longer a luxury—it’s essential.
At Baythorpe Park, the decision to upgrade their internet wasn’t driven by technology trends. It came directly from the residents themselves.
In this customer testimonial, Heidi Watts explains how demand for better internet for caravans led them to partner with Camping Connect and how it changed the way residents use their holiday homes.
“It was the residents asking for WiFi”
Like many modern parks, Baythorpe began to see a shift in guest expectations. Residents wanted the same level of connectivity they enjoyed at home.
As Heidi explains, the requests became more frequent. Guests wanted to:
-
Stay in touch with family
-
Stream films and TV
-
Use their devices without interruption
-
Work remotely when needed
Reliable broadband for caravans quickly became a priority for the park.
Turning weekends into longer stays
One of the biggest benefits of installing reliable WiFi in the caravan park was how it changed guest behaviour.
With strong, stable internet, residents can now:
-
Work remotely from their caravan
-
Stay connected during the week
-
Extend their weekends from Friday to Monday
Instead of leaving early, many residents now stay longer because they can work comfortably from the park.
This has made holiday homes more practical for modern lifestyles and increased the time residents spend onsite.
Why managing park WiFi alone causes headaches
Running a holiday park is already a demanding job. From maintenance to guest services, teams are constantly busy.
Heidi explains that trying to handle the caravan park WiFi themselves would only have added stress:
-
Technical issues to solve
-
Network complaints from residents
-
Time lost troubleshooting problems
With so many responsibilities already, taking on a complex network internally just didn’t make sense.
The benefit of a specialist WiFi provider
One of the biggest advantages of working with Camping Connect has been the ongoing support.
According to Heidi, the team is:
-
Always available remotely
-
Ready to attend the park when needed
-
Proactive in keeping the network running smoothly
This means the park team doesn’t have to worry about technical issues or spend time fixing connectivity problems.
Instead, they can focus on running the park and looking after their residents.
Better connectivity, happier residents
Since installing reliable internet for caravans, Baythorpe Park has seen clear benefits:
-
Fewer complaints about connectivity
-
More satisfied residents
-
Longer stays thanks to remote working
-
Less pressure on staff
Reliable broadband for caravans has become a core part of the overall park experience.
The takeaway for holiday parks
Baythorpe Park’s story reflects a wider trend across the industry:
-
Residents expect reliable WiFi as standard
-
Poor connectivity affects satisfaction and reviews
-
Specialist providers reduce stress and technical issues
-
Strong WiFi enables longer, more flexible stays
As Heidi’s experience shows, investing in professional WiFi for a caravan park isn’t just about technology — it’s about improving the resident experience.
