The Parsons Caravan Site is very popular with tourists and in 1994, Dennis and Betty won third prize in a national site competition. They have been running their Caravan Club Certificated Location - a special site allowed to accommodate up to five caravans at a time - since 1984. Members of the Club voted the Parsons into third place and Dennis and Betty took a trip to the House of Commons to receive £50 and a framed certificate from Labours deputy leader Margaret Beckett.
