A Brief History

Ron & Rod Jones (father & son) started Europarcs in 1998. Ron’s background was in UK manufacturing management. He had previously owned static caravans in the south of France for family and friends use plus advertising in local papers. Rod was in his business placement year at university and was tasked with forming the company and setting up business processes and partnerships arrangements.

The main competitors at the time were Eurocamp, Eurosites and Keycamp - they were subsequently amalgamated into a single brand.

The advent of low-cost flights and internet development were crucial factors in the company’s development. The internet lowered the ‘barrier to entry’ for small companies seeking to enter the market by enabling us to reach potential customers otherwise impossible unless huge marketing budgets were available.

Consistent organic growth (debt free) has been the bedrock of the business strategy with high levels of customer service, modern mobile homes, very competitive pricing all contributing to the increase in repeat customers and new bookings .

We have been superbly supported at our various campsites by our representatives, an integral part of the team dedicated to providing great customer service.

It has been quite a journey, not always smooth with financial crashes, Brexit and the Covid pandemic stress testing any company’s ability to perform. We are proud to have navigated our way through all these challenges.
