Jon and Emilie James, aged 36 and 37, move to a derelict caravan park site in Llanelli, Wales, with their dog, Maggie, in June 2022. The couple say they relocate after selling their previous home for £132,000 and then purchasing the abandoned caravan park for £90,000. Their plan is to transform the property into an off-grid campsite. The reported redevelopment includes creating facilities intended to support guests without connecting to the standard utilities, and the outlets note the addition of a wood-fired sauna as part of the site’s intended amenities. The articles characterize the site as abandoned and derelict at the time of purchase, and they frame the project as a conversion of existing grounds into a new visitor accommodation offering. The sources do not provide further details on planning permissions, timelines, or the scope of refurbishment beyond the mention of off-grid operations and the wood-fired sauna.
