Our caravan park in Lancashire was established in 1983 and has always been a family run business. Before they became business owners in Capernwray, the family were locals.
In the early 1940s, the family moved to Capernwray as dairy and sheep farmers. Twenty years later, John Wightman acquired ownership of the farm the family had been working and continued the family’s farming legacy until 1983, when the caravan park was established.
Since John Wightman, the park has stayed in the family and remains our home and livelihood. Its current owner is James Wightman. In recent years, James took over the park from his parents, David and Dot, and he knows the land inside and out. He is joined by his wife, Beth, who previously worked with the park for ten years and now works as a personal trainer (although you may still see her on the park helping out from time to time).
James and Beth have three children, Eli, Scarlett and Boaz. Their hobbies include making cider with home-grown and locally sourced apples, walking, camping, visiting Beth’s family in America, photography, cooking and wine/whisky tasting. They are also very involved in their church.
On this page, we offer some pictures of the park’s previous owners, David and Dot Wightman, as well as your current park owner James, with his wife, Beth.
