Caravan Transport in Wales
Looking for caravan transport in Wales? Wales has one of the highest concentrations of caravan parks in the UK, with hundreds of sites along its 870 miles of coastline. Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire, and Conwy alone account for a huge share of static caravan sales and moves each year, making specialist transport vital.
Caravan Parks in Wales
Welsh caravanning is overwhelmingly coastal, with the heaviest concentrations on the Llyn Peninsula around Pwllheli, along Cardigan Bay, and across Pembrokeshire in the south-west. Many sites sit on the shore at the foot of steep inland country, so the scenery that makes them popular also dictates the way in.
Popular Wales parks include Hafan y Mor Holiday Park, Kiln Park Holiday Centre, Greenacres Holiday Park, Lydstep Beach Holiday Park, and Presthaven Holiday Park — all served by our caravan transport network of verified, specialist movers.

Width (10ft vs 12ft), distance and route complexity all affect the price, and a 12ft static typically costs around 20% more than a 10ft model. The surest way to a real figure for your move is to compare quotes from multiple transporters.
Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Wales
A Welsh move can cross up to four forces — North Wales, Dyfed-Powys, South Wales and Gwent — each needing separate notification. The A55 along the north coast is the easy artery; elsewhere expect narrow single-track lanes, low bridges and steep gradients, so the final approach to your park is usually the deciding factor for a 12ft load.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to North Wales Police / Dyfed-Powys Police / South Wales Police / Gwent Police and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
