Get an instant indicative valuation for your caravan park using practical earnings logic, occupancy, rental economics, and buyer-demand factors.

This calculator is designed for caravan park owners who want a more realistic estimate based on occupancy, site utilisation, rental profile, operating resilience, and buyer appeal. It is suitable for operators who want to understand both likely valuation range and the practical strengths or weaknesses that may affect buyer confidence.

Caravan parks are often judged not just on revenue, but on the quality and stability of that revenue, how efficiently the park operates, and how much of the performance still depends on the owner’s involvement. This calculator helps translate those commercial factors into an indicative value range that is easier to use for sale preparation.

Best results

Use your most recent full-year figures where possible. Keep one-off or owner-specific expenses in addbacks so the tool can normalise earnings more realistically.

You can leave unknown fields blank.

If you do not know every figure, complete the fields you can. The calculator will still produce an indicative result, but confidence will be higher when more relevant information is provided.

01

Choose your business category

Select the matching Directorist category so the calculator uses the closest valuation model and can save the correct pending listing category later.

Pick the closest real-world category rather than the broadest one. That gives you better field prompts and more useful benchmarking.


Your selection changes the visible metrics, operating checks, and the Directorist category used when we create a pending listing draft.

02

Financial performance

These figures drive seller discretionary earnings and the asset component of the valuation.

If you are testing, use the sample tool below. If you are a seller, treat the figures as guidance and adjust to your actual business records. If a figure is unknown, it can be left blank.

Use a generic sample set to instantly populate the calculator with sensible example figures for the selected category. This is designed to speed up testing, not to suggest a real valuation.


Use total sales for the last full 12 months before owner drawings.


Enter profit after normal operating expenses, before any owner-specific adjustments are added back.


Include what the owner pays themselves for working in the business. If the owner works full time, use a realistic annual wage for that role.


Add one-off, non-recurring, or discretionary expenses a buyer may not continue. Examples include unusual legal fees, private expenses, or once-off repairs.


Use the approximate market value of transferable plant and equipment included in the sale.


Enter saleable inventory likely to transfer at settlement.


Estimate any near-term capital a buyer may need to refresh, repair, or modernise the business.

03

Business profile

These questions help measure transferability, buyer risk, and how stable the earnings stream looks.

Think like a buyer: could this business keep performing with the current team, systems, and customer base if the owner stepped back? If you are unsure about some profile answers, leave them blank rather than guessing.


Longer trading history generally improves buyer confidence and evidence of durability.


Use the regular team size excluding casual one-off support where possible.


Choose fixed term if the business has a lease, month to month if occupancy is rolling, or N/A for online or mobile businesses that do not rely on premises.


Only use this if there is a fixed-term lease in place. Leave it blank for month-to-month or not applicable businesses.


Low means the business can run without the owner day to day. High means customers, staff, or operations rely heavily on the owner staying involved.


Low means revenue is spread across many customers. High means a small number of customers account for a large share of revenue.


Choose the current earnings trend based on the last 12 to 24 months rather than a single strong or weak month.


Reflect the site visibility, access, catchment strength, and how suitable the location is for this business type.


Estimate the share of revenue that is contracted, repeat, subscription-based, or reliably recurring.


Count material licences, permits, or formal approvals required to operate legally.

This caravan park valuation calculator estimates value primarily from seller discretionary earnings and then adjusts the valuation multiple for occupancy strength, transfer risk, benchmark alignment, operating quality, and buyer appeal.

Buyers often focus on:

  • occupancy consistency
  • rental yield per site
  • operating complexity
  • site utilisation
  • management dependence
  • quality of systems
  • lease or site profile
  • how sustainable the earnings are after handover

Caravan parks with steadier occupancy, clearer systems, lower owner dependence, and stronger operating discipline usually present more strongly than businesses where the seller still carries too much of the management and continuity risk.

Buyers are typically looking for reliability and a business they can step into with confidence. That means clean operations, stable occupancy, and a credible handover pathway often support stronger value than income alone.

This is an indicative valuation tool only. It is useful for planning, benchmarking, and preparing the park for market, but final value will depend on buyer demand, diligence, site arrangements, and the overall quality of the operation at the time of sale.
