Purchase Price Range
From £16,995 for a static caravan to £200,000+ for a premium lodge at Loch Tay or Sauchope Links
How Much Does It Cost To Own A Holiday Home In Scotland?
It is the question most people have before they pick up the phone. What does holiday home ownership in Scotland actually cost — not just the purchase price, but everything that comes after? Site fees. Running costs. What is included and what is not. Whether the whole thing adds up to something genuinely affordable or whether the numbers only work on paper.
This guide answers those questions honestly. Largo Leisure owns six award-winning holiday parks across Perthshire, Stirlingshire, and Fife, and offers static caravans and luxury lodges for sale across the estate. The price range is wide — from £16,995 for an entry-level static caravan through to £200,000 and beyond for a premium loch-front or coastal lodge. Understanding what sits in between, and what each price point actually delivers, is what this guide is for.

The Lifestyle Case: Why People Choose Holiday Home Ownership
The financial question is important, but it rarely comes first. Most people who buy a holiday home in Scotland start with a feeling rather than a spreadsheet — the idea of having their own place, somewhere they can arrive at a moment's notice without the uncertainty of availability or the admin of booking. A place that becomes familiar over time, where the same view is waiting for them each visit.
What the numbers then need to do is support that idea convincingly. Ownership at Largo Leisure is designed to make that work: a range of price points across six parks means there is a realistic entry point for a wide range of buyers, and the parks themselves — from the Highland shores of Loch Tay to the East Neuk coast at Crail — give ownership a setting that justifies the investment on purely experiential grounds.
The question worth asking at the outset is not just 'can I afford this?' but 'what does ownership actually give me?'. For most buyers, the honest answer is: far more regular access to a part of Scotland they love, at a cost that compares very favourably to renting equivalent accommodation year after year.
Pro Tip
The best time to start researching ownership is in spring, when the parks are at their most appealing and the ownership team has the most time to walk you through options properly. Summer visits are wonderful, but the team is at its busiest. A viewing in April or May gives you a clear-headed look at the parks before the peak season crowds arrive.
Purchase Prices: Static Caravans vs Luxury Lodges
Largo Leisure offers two distinct types of holiday home: static caravans and luxury lodges. They are different products — different in size, specification, lifespan, and price — and choosing between them is the first decision most buyers face.
Static Caravans
Static caravans at Largo Leisure range from £16,995 for a pre-loved model at one of the more accessible parks, through to around £79,995 for a newer, larger, or more specification-heavy caravan at a premium location. The sweet spot for most buyers sits in the £25,000–£50,000 range, where you can find modern two- and three-bedroom models in good condition at parks across the estate.
Static caravans are a genuinely comfortable option — modern models are well-insulated, well-equipped, and far removed from the caravans of twenty years ago. For buyers who want regular access to Scotland at a lower entry cost, they represent excellent value.
Luxury Lodges
Lodges at Largo Leisure start at around £85,000 and rise to £200,000 and beyond at the premium end. They are purpose-built holiday homes rather than adapted caravans — typically larger, higher specification, with features including wood-burning stoves, full kitchen and appliance packages, en-suite bedrooms, and in many cases a private hot tub and outdoor deck. They feel, and function, more like a second home.
At the top of the range, lodges at Sauchope Links and Loch Tay Highland Lodges represent the highest specification on the estate — some with premium finishes, and loch-front positioning that commands a price to match.
Pro Tip
New holiday homes can be ordered to specification from manufacturers across the market, meaning you are not limited to what is currently in stock. If you have a specific size, layout, or feature set in mind, the ownership team can talk you through what is available to order and the lead time involved.
Park by park: Which Location Suits Your Budget?
Location has a significant effect on price. The same-specification property will cost more at Loch Tay Highland Lodges or Sauchope Links — both premium parks with strong demand and distinctive settings — than at Braidhaugh or Cruachan Farm. This is not a reflection of quality but of location and the market that each park commands.
Loch Tay lodges & caravans - From approx. £25,000 (caravans) — lodges from £85,000 to £200,000+. Premium loch-front positions at the top of the range. Highland setting, marina, restaurant on-site.
Sauchope Links Holiday Park - lodges & caravans - Coastal Fife park with sea views to the Isle of May. Premium lodge prices reflect the setting and proximity to St Andrews. One of the most sought-after locations on the estate.
Braidhaugh Holiday Park - lodges & caravans - Riverside Perthshire. A wider range of price points than the Highland or coastal parks. Walking distance to Crieff. Good choice for buyers seeking strong value in a beautiful setting.
Campsie Glen Holiday Park - lodges & caravans - Stirlingshire countryside. Close to Loch Lomond and accessible from Glasgow and Edinburgh. On-site pool and bar/bistro. New stock coming soon.
Letham Feus Holiday Park - lodges & caravans - East Neuk of Fife countryside. Quieter and more private than Sauchope. Golf-focused — 40+ courses within reach. Fife coastline nearby.
Cruachan Farm Caravan Park - caravans - Perthshire countryside near Killin. Entry-level caravan ownership in a genuinely scenic rural setting. A short walk from Loch Tay Highland Lodges and its facilities.
Site Fees: What They Are And What They Cover
Site fees are the annual charge for your pitch on the park. They are a fixed, ongoing cost of ownership — separate from the purchase price — and the most important number to understand before you buy. Site fees at Largo Leisure vary by park and by the position of your property within the park, with loch-front and coastal pitches commanding higher fees than standard positions.
What site fees typically cover:
• Use of your pitch and the land it occupies
• Maintenance of park roads, communal grounds, and shared facilities
• Access to on-park amenities such as pools, play areas, and recreation spaces
• Park management, security, and on-site staffing
What site fees do not typically cover:
• Your energy costs — electricity, gas, and LPG are charged separately based on usage
• Wi-Fi — available at most parks, usually charged at a daily or seasonal rate
• Insurance — you will need a specialist holiday home insurance policy, separate from standard home insurance
• General maintenance and upkeep of the property itself
Pro Tip
Always ask for the current site fee for your specific pitch before committing to a purchase. The figure varies across the estate and can make a meaningful difference to the annual cost of ownership. The ownership team will provide this clearly and without obligation.
Running Costs: What To Budget Beyond The Purchase Price
A realistic picture of ownership costs includes both the annual site fee and the day-to-day running costs of the property. Here is a straightforward breakdown of what to factor in.
Purchase Price
Typical range - £16,995 - £200,000
Static caravans from £16,995; lodges from £85,000. Price depends on type, age, size, specification, and park location.
Site Fees
Typical range varies by park & pitch
Annual charge for your pitch. Contact the ownership team for current rates at your preferred park and position.
Electricity & Gas
Range is usage-based
Metered and charged at standard rates. Most properties are centrally heated; some have wood-burning stoves with logs available on park.
Wi-Fi
Typical modest daily rate
Available at most parks. Charged separately. Worth confirming the rate for your specific park before purchasing.
Holiday Home Insurance
Varies by property
A specialist policy covering the structure, contents, and public liability. Not the same as standard home insurance — your broker can advise.
General Maintenance
Typical range is occasional
Exterior maintenance, decking upkeep, and any repairs to fixtures and fittings over time. Budget for this annually.
Taken together, the honest annual cost of ownership — site fees, energy, insurance, and maintenance — is something the Largo Leisure ownership team will walk through with you in detail when you arrange a viewing. There are no hidden costs, and the team's role is to make sure you go in with a clear picture rather than a pleasant surprise followed by an unpleasant one.
Pro Tip
Properties with the No Site Fees Until 2027 offer attached tend to move quickly, particularly at the more popular parks. If a specific property appeals, it is worth registering your interest with the team rather than waiting.

The buying process is straightforward and the ownership team is there to guide you through each step. Here is what to expect.
Browse the stock list. Visit our collection of holiday homes for sale here to see current caravans and lodges available across all six parks. Filter by park, budget, number of bedrooms, and property type.

• Review all costs. The team will provide a full breakdown of the purchase price, site fee for your preferred pitch, and running cost estimates. Take your time with this — ownership is a considered decision and the team will not rush you.
• Reserve your property. Once you've chosen your holiday home, a reservation secures it while the paperwork is completed. The team will guide you through the licence agreement, which governs the terms of your pitch.
• Complete and take ownership. On completion, the holiday home is yours to use from day one. The team will walk you through the handover, introduce you to the park, and make sure you know everything you need to enjoy your new home away from home.

Pro Tip
If you are considering ownership at more than one park, it is worth visiting both before deciding. The parks have very different characters — Loch Tay and Braidhaugh in Perthshire feel quite different to Sauchope Links or Letham Feus in Fife — and the right choice becomes clearer when you've stood in both places.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a holiday home in Scotland cost to buy?
The purchase price at Largo Leisure ranges from £16,995 for an entry-level static caravan through to £200,000 and above for a premium luxury lodge at Loch Tay Highland Lodges or Sauchope Links Holiday Park. The majority of static caravans sit between £25,000 and £79,995 depending on age, size, and location. Lodges typically start at around £85,000, with the price increasing for larger properties, higher specifications, and the most sought-after positions on the park. The current stock list at largoleisure.co.uk/stock shows all available properties with prices.
What are site fees and how much do they cost?
Site fees are the annual charge you pay to occupy your pitch on the park — they are separate from the purchase price and are an ongoing cost of ownership every year. At Largo Leisure, site fees vary by park and by the specific position of your property within that park; loch-front, riverside, and sea-view pitches command higher fees than standard positions. The ownership team will confirm the site fee for any specific property before you commit to a purchase. There are no hidden charges — you will have a clear figure before you proceed.
What other costs should I budget for beyond the purchase price?
Beyond the purchase price and annual site fees, the main ongoing costs are energy (electricity, gas, or LPG, metered and charged based on usage), Wi-Fi (typically a modest daily or seasonal rate at most parks), specialist holiday home insurance, and general maintenance of the property over time. These costs vary depending on how often you use the property, which park you are at, and the specification of the holiday home itself. The ownership team will walk you through a realistic annual cost estimate when you arrange a viewing.
Which Largo Leisure park offers the best value for holiday home ownership?
Value depends on what you are looking for. If the priority is the lowest entry cost in a scenic setting, Cruachan Farm Caravan Park near Killin offers static caravan ownership in the Perthshire countryside at accessible prices. If the priority is a premium setting with strong demand and a distinctive location, Loch Tay Highland Lodges and Sauchope Links Holiday Park offer exactly that — at a higher price point. Braidhaugh Holiday Park in Crieff and Campsie Glen in Stirlingshire sit comfortably in the middle, offering a wide range of price points in genuinely beautiful settings.
Is there finance available for buying a holiday home at Largo Leisure?
Largo Leisure does not currently offer in-house finance options. Most buyers purchase outright or arrange independent finance through a specialist lender or their own financial adviser. It is worth noting that holiday home ownership is distinct from residential property purchase — you will be entering into a licence agreement for the pitch rather than purchasing the land — so specialist advice from a solicitor or financial adviser familiar with holiday home ownership is always worthwhile before proceeding.
What is included in the current No Site Fees Until 2027 offer?
The No Site Fees Until 2027 offer means that buyers of selected properties will not pay any site fees until 2027, effectively deferring one of the main annual costs of ownership. The offer applies to specific properties across the estate — the ownership team will confirm which properties are included when you enquire. Full details and current availability are at largoleisure.co.uk/ownership/ownership-offers.
Can I see the holiday homes before I commit to buying?
Yes — and Largo Leisure strongly encourages it. Arranging a viewing at your preferred park gives you the chance to see the property in person, walk the park, understand the setting, and ask the ownership team every question you have. There is no obligation and no pressure.
