One of the UK’s leading independent leisure retailers is celebrating a landmark milestone as Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes marks its 100th anniversary in 2026.

Founded in 1926, the business has evolved from humble Yorkshire roots into one of Britain’s largest and most respected independent caravan and motorhome retailers, serving customers nationwide from its flagship 34-acre destination site near Bawtry, South Yorkshire.

Today, Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes employs more than 100 people and generates annual revenues exceeding £50 million, firmly establishing itself as one of the standout success stories within both the Yorkshire business community and the wider UK leisure industry.

Over the last century, the company has built its reputation on exceptional customer service, industry expertise and outstanding value, helping generations of families discover the freedom and lifestyle of touring holidays.

Continually evolving with customer demand, Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes has become a true one-stop leisure destination, offering new and pre-owned caravans, motorhomes and campervans alongside awnings, accessories, storage facilities, parts, servicing and comprehensive aftercare support.

A major milestone in the company’s recent expansion came with the launch of its dedicated Motorhome Centre at the end of 2023, rapidly transforming the business into one of the UK’s fastest-growing names in motorhomes.

In under two years, the Motorhome Centre has already achieved national recognition, including a Highly Commended Public Vote accolade at the Out & About Live Motorhome Awards 2026.

Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes has also earned a national reputation for offering some of the industry’s best value, backed by its Price Promise Guarantee on caravans and motorhomes, attracting customers from across Britain and beyond.

The company now enters a new era under the ownership of Jason Cooper, whose long-term vision is focused on transforming the business from a traditional dealership into one of the UK’s most innovative integrated leisure groups over the next century.

As part of that vision, Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes plans to continue investing heavily across customer experience, aftersales, hospitality, digital retailing, premium leisure infrastructure and destination-led leisure concepts.

The company believes the future of the sector lies in creating immersive leisure ecosystems rather than simply selling vehicles, combining retail, servicing, storage, lifestyle, entertainment and tourism into a single integrated customer experience.

This broader long-term vision also aligns closely with the future development aspirations surrounding the Rossington Hall Estate, where complimentary leisure, hospitality and wellness concepts are being explored as part of a wider regional leisure strategy for the decades ahead, on the 200 acre estate. 

Together, the ambition is to help position South Yorkshire as a nationally recognised destination for modern leisure and lifestyle experiences, combining touring, hospitality, wellness and premium outdoor living in ways that reflect the evolving expectations and the aspirations of future generations of customers.
