2026 marks a very special milestone for Hurley Riverside Park as we proudly celebrate our Centenary Year!
For four generations, the Burfitt family has cared for this beautiful riverside land since 1926. What began as a traditional working farm has grown into the welcoming Holiday, Caravan and Camping Park you see today – and we are incredibly proud to be celebrating 100 years of family heritage, hospitality, and unforgettable memories.
If you would like to browse our current caravan holiday homes before the event, please visit our Caravans For Sale page.
As part of our centenary celebrations, we are creating a special archive of photographs and memories from years gone by – and we would love your help.
We have collected some wonderful historic photographs from the park, but we know there are many more hidden away in albums and boxes across the years. If you have any old photographs taken at the park in the pre-digital days, we would be delighted if you could share them with us.
Whether it’s caravans from decades past, camping holidays, family picnics, questionable hairstyles from the 70s and 80s or even older photos when the first caravans and tents stayed in Hurley – we want to celebrate the memories that have made Hurley Riverside Park so special over the last 100 years.
We will also be awarding a prize for our favourite submissions!
We look forward to welcoming you to our Centenary Open Weekend and celebrating this incredible milestone together.
The Burfitt family began farming in Hurley when Chris Burfitt bought the farm in 1926 when the Danesfield and Medmenham Estates were split up. The farm was run from The Farm House in Mill Lane and consisted of mainly dairy cows.
Future generations of the family expanded the farm until it reached approximately 500 acres of arable and grass producing wheat, barley, oats, beans, sheep and cattle.
After World War II, the first visitors arrived to the village by coach, to sit on the river bank on the farmland. Soon they were joined by caravans and requests were made for more permanent facilities to be made available to members of the public.
A project to begin installing infrastructure began in the 1960’s and soon a site license was approved for the permanent siting of static caravans in what is now the Holiday Park.
Permission was also granted for touring caravans and tents to stay in what is now the Touring Park.
Hurley Riverside Park formed in 2001 when Hurley Farm Ltd separated its Holiday Park business from its agricultural business.
