When you’re considering a move to a residential park home, one question often comes up during family discussions: can your adult children visit and stay overnight? It’s a perfectly natural concern. You want the peace and tranquillity of park home living, but you don’t want to sacrifice precious time with your loved ones.
The short answer is yes – your family can absolutely visit and stay overnight at your park home. We understand how important family connections are, and park home visitor policies are designed to support, not restrict, your relationships with adult children and grandchildren.
Let’s explore exactly how overnight guests at park homes work, what you need to know about guest accommodation, and how our homeowners make the most of family visits.
Key takeaways:
- Adult children and family members are welcome to visit and stay overnight at residential park homes
- Most parks have straightforward guest policies that balance community harmony with personal freedom
- Park homes offer spacious accommodation options for hosting family comfortably
- The beautiful countryside setting and community amenities make family visits particularly memorable
- Current homeowners regularly host adult children and grandchildren for extended stays
Yes, your family can visit – here’s what you need to know
You can welcome your adult children visiting your park home whenever you’d like. This is your home, and you have the freedom to host family and friends just as you would in any other residence.
Some people worry that moving to a residential park means giving up spontaneous weekend visits from the grandchildren or holiday gatherings with the whole family. That’s simply not the case. Park home living supports your family connections rather than limiting them.
The residential park homes at Broadway Park and Leedons Residential Park are designed with modern living in mind. Many homeowners specifically choose layouts with guest bedrooms so they can accommodate overnight guests at their park home comfortably.
What about the rules? Residential park visitor guidelines are typically straightforward and reasonable. They’re there to maintain the peaceful community atmosphere that attracted you in the first place, not to interfere with your family life.
The important distinction is that whilst visitors and guests can stay overnight, park homes must be used as your only or main place of residence. Your adult children can visit and stay for holidays or weekends, but they can’t live there permanently unless they meet the age requirement of 50 years or older.
How guest accommodation works at our parks
When it comes to park home guest accommodation, you have plenty of flexibility. Most of our residential park homes measure up to 50ft x 22ft, which provides ample space for comfortable living and guest areas.
Many homeowners set up a spare bedroom specifically for visiting family. Others use flexible living spaces that can transform when needed – a home office that doubles as a guest room, or a comfortable sofa bed in the lounge area.
The park home guest policy at our residential parks is designed to be welcoming whilst maintaining the tranquil environment everyone enjoys. You don’t need special permission each time your adult children visit, but we do appreciate knowing when you’ll have guests staying for extended periods.
Parking is another practical consideration. Your plot includes a driveway for two cars, and we can usually accommodate additional vehicles when you have family visiting. It’s helpful to let the park manager know in advance if you’re expecting several family members with multiple cars.
What about park home accommodation rules? They’re really quite simple. We ask that guests respect the peaceful nature of the community – the same consideration you’d expect in any residential neighbourhood. Quiet hours apply to everyone, and we ask that visitors use the designated parking areas.
Some homeowners ask about having a touring caravan on their plot for guests. Whilst this isn’t something we typically accommodate, the spacious homes and flexible living arrangements mean you can host family visits to your park home comfortably within your residence.
Making family visits comfortable and memorable
Here’s where park home living really shines for family visits. When your adult children and grandchildren come to stay, they’re not just visiting your home – they’re experiencing the beautiful Worcestershire Countryside and all the amenities our parks offer.
The setting itself makes visits special. Instead of meeting at a standard house in a busy neighbourhood, your family can enjoy countryside walks, peaceful surroundings, and a genuine escape from their daily routines. Many grandchildren particularly love visiting because it feels like a mini-holiday.
Our parks offer facilities that make staying overnight at a park home more enjoyable for everyone. The indoor heated swimming pool is always popular with visiting grandchildren. The outdoor bowling green provides gentle competition for all ages. The community hall hosts various activities that your guests can join in with if they’d like.
Planning activities for family visits is easy. You might start the day with a countryside walk using the dog walk paths, spend the afternoon by the pool, and finish with a family meal in your spacious, modern kitchen. The tennis court and games room provide entertainment options for different age groups and interests.
The community atmosphere adds something special too. Your neighbours understand the joy of family visits – many are hosting their own adult children and grandchildren. It creates a warm, welcoming environment where everyone feels at home.
Practical tips from our homeowners include keeping the guest room ready with fresh bedding, stocking up on family favourites before visits, and planning a mix of active and relaxing activities. The low-maintenance nature of park home living means you can focus on enjoying time with family rather than worrying about property upkeep during their stay.
What our homeowners say about hosting family
Our residents regularly tell us that hosting family at their park home is even better than they expected. The spacious, well-appointed homes provide comfortable accommodation, whilst the beautiful setting and community amenities create memorable experiences.
Many homeowners use their park homes for regular family gatherings. Weekend visits are common, with adult children driving up on Friday evening and staying through Sunday. The peaceful environment gives everyone a chance to relax and reconnect properly.
Holiday periods are particularly popular. Christmas gatherings, summer holidays, and half-term breaks bring families together. Some homeowners have established traditions around these visits – annual barbecues by the lake, Christmas morning walks through the countryside, or birthday celebrations in the community hall.
One aspect homeowners particularly appreciate is how the park setting keeps grandchildren entertained. Rather than relying on screens and indoor activities, children can explore safely, use the pool, and enjoy outdoor space. Parents appreciate the safe, enclosed environment where they can relax whilst their children play.
The community element adds value to family visits too. Adult children often comment on the friendly atmosphere and the obvious care taken to maintain the beautiful surroundings. It reassures them that their parents have made a wonderful choice.
Several homeowners mention that their adult children visit more frequently now than when they lived in conventional housing. The combination of comfortable accommodation, beautiful location, and the genuine appeal of the park environment makes visits something everyone looks forward to.
The practical aspects work smoothly too. Homeowners report that the straightforward visitor arrangements mean they can focus on enjoying time with family rather than worrying about rules and regulations.

Frequently asked questions
Can my adult children stay for a week or longer at my park home?
Yes, your adult children can stay for extended visits of a week or more. The important thing to remember is that your park home must remain your main residence, and long-term guests shouldn’t be living there permanently. Extended holiday visits and family gatherings are absolutely fine and happen regularly throughout our parks.
Do I need to inform park management every time I have overnight guests?
You don’t need permission for regular family visits, but it’s helpful to let the park manager know if you’re having guests for an extended period or if you’ll need additional parking spaces. This helps us ensure everything runs smoothly and that we can accommodate your family’s needs during their stay.
Are there any restrictions on how many family members can visit at once?
There aren’t strict limits on visitor numbers, but we do ask that you’re mindful of parking availability and maintaining the peaceful atmosphere of the community. Most homes comfortably accommodate several overnight guests, and families regularly gather for special occasions. If you’re planning a larger family gathering, just have a chat with the park manager so we can help with any practical arrangements.
Can my grandchildren use the park facilities when they visit?
Absolutely. When your grandchildren visit, they’re welcome to use facilities like the indoor heated swimming pool, games room, and outdoor spaces. They’ll be your guests, so you’ll be responsible for supervising them and ensuring they follow the same community guidelines that keep the park pleasant for everyone.
What happens if my adult child needs to stay temporarily due to circumstances like home renovations?
We understand that life circumstances sometimes require flexibility. If your adult child needs temporary accommodation whilst their own home is being renovated or during a similar short-term situation, we can usually accommodate this. The important thing is to have a conversation with park management about the situation and the expected timeframe so we can ensure it works within the residential park framework.
