A NEW holiday park is set to open in the UK – with some very fancy lodges and wildlife trails. <\/p>\n
More than 30 eco-lodges are among the facilities due to be built on the site, which will be constructed on top of the concrete foundations of previously demolished holiday cabins. <\/p>\n

The plans for a new environmentally-friendly holiday park on the Isle of Wight were approved by the local council last week. <\/p>\n
Set near Cowes, on the north of the island, the new holiday park will be built next<\/span> to the Gurnard Pines Holiday Village. <\/p>\n According to the local newspaper, County Press, the development will be the "first of a new generation of net-zero holiday destinations in the UK."<\/p>\n As part of its net-zero offering, guests will also have their electricity consumption measured during their stay. <\/p>\n The electricity consumption will then be added to a guest's final bill, making their stay directly proportional to their carbon footprint. <\/p>\n All of the 32 eco-lodges will be highly energy-efficient, with triple-glazed windows, solar panels, heat pumps, and rainwater harvested for communal buildings.<\/p>\n A multi-purpose barn, cafe, and bar will be the first building to be constructed at the holiday<\/span> park site. <\/p>\n The pre-fabricated holiday lodges will then be assembled inside the barn in the winter<\/span> months.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the eco-lodges, a series of CGI images also depicted several footpaths and walking trails.<\/p>\n The plans have caused a stir among residents who are worried about the new park's proximity to the Gurnard Pines Holiday Village, as well as increased traffic in the area. <\/p>\n However, the Isle of Wight Council have said that the new park will complement the existing holiday village, with visitors being encouraged to use the facilities at both sites. <\/p>\n It is also hoped that the new holiday park will help the Island to become a year-round tourist destination. <\/p>\n Set within 55 acres of woodland, the Gurnard Pines Holiday Village already has several leisure facilities on its site. <\/p>\n It's not the only resort set to open in the UK, with\u00a0Great Wolf Resort\u00a0set to launch its first British park in Basingstoke.<\/p>\n There are more than 19 parks across the US and\u00a0Canada\u00a0and the new UK resort will have a 500-bedroom hotel on-site, as well as an entertainment centre with bowling alleys, arcades, and restaurants.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Eurocamp has announced that it will be launching 57 new parks in time for the 2024\u00a0summer\u00a0holidays.<\/p>\n There are currently 180 parks throughout Europe, mainly in\u00a0France, although some are also found in\u00a0Spain,\u00a0Italy,\u00a0Germany,\u00a0Croatia, The Netherlands,\u00a0Australia,\u00a0Switzerland,\u00a0and Luxembourg.<\/p>\n The new parks will open across popular regions of France<\/span>, Spain, and Italy<\/span>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Sun Online Travel\u00a0recently went on a Eurocamp holiday –\u00a0here is what you can expect.<\/p>\n And we have also revealed how you can\u00a0save \u00a3500 on your next Eurocamp holiday.<\/p>\nRead More on Holiday Parks<\/h2>\n
