About Camping and Caravan Site Premium Grass Mix

Phoenix Amenity Camping and Caravan Site Premium Grass Mix is a seed blend for UK holiday parks, caravan sites and camping grounds. It establishes quickly, holds up under heavy pitch traffic through the season and repairs itself where wear concentrates, such as around awning pegs and entrances.

Composition

Species	Proportion	Primary role
Amenity Perennial Ryegrass	40%	Wear resistance and rapid establishment
Creeping Perennial Ryegrass	30%	Lateral spread and long-term sward repair
Strong Creeping Red Fescue	14%	Density, fine texture, and recovery
Hard Fescue	10%	Drought tolerance and low fertility performance
Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass	6%	Rhizomatous spread and deep wear recovery

Species detail

40% amenity perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne)

Amenity perennial ryegrass is the wear-resistant base of the mix. It germinates quickly and can give usable ground cover within days under good conditions. Its robust leaf structure and strong tillering habit let the sward withstand continuous foot traffic, vehicle movements and the concentrated ground pressure typical of pitched caravan and motorhome sites.

30% creeping perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne, creeping type)

What sets this mix apart for pitch use is the creeping perennial ryegrass fraction. Unlike standard perennial ryegrass, which relies on tillering alone, creeping types spread by lateral stolons that colonise worn or bare areas. That self-repairing habit matters most on pitches with concentrated wear, such as around awning pegs, entrance points and service pedestals, where conventional mixes thin out and fail.

14% strong creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra rubra)

Strong creeping red fescue adds density, fine leaf texture and lateral spread to the sward. Its creeping rhizomes knit the turf together, which improves surface uniformity and cuts the risk of bare patches under repeated use. It also copes well with the range of soil conditions found on UK caravan and camping sites, including slightly acidic or lower fertility ground.

10% hard fescue (Festuca brevipila)

Hard fescue brings strong drought tolerance and persistence in low fertility conditions. On open sites exposed to drying winds and summer heat, it holds colour and density where other species may show stress, cutting the irrigation needed during dry periods and keeping input requirements low.

6% smooth stalked meadow grass (Poa pratensis)

Smooth stalked meadow grass is slow to establish but highly persistent, spreading by underground rhizomes. Once established, it gives long-term stability and helps the sward recover from deep-seated wear. It works best in areas under concentrated use over multiple seasons, where it rebuilds sward density from below.

Why choose this mix for camping and caravan sites

The creeping ryegrass and smooth stalked meadow grass target the concentrated, repetitive wear typical of static and touring pitches.
Lateral and rhizomatous spread from three species in the mix lets the sward repair itself, cutting the need for overseeding.
The high ryegrass content gives fast initial ground cover, useful for sites working to a tight seasonal turnaround.
The fescue components hold colour and density through dry spells and low-input management, so pitches stay presentable for guests.
The species selection suits UK soils from free-draining sand to heavier clay.

Ideal applications

Camping and touring caravan pitches
Static caravan and holiday lodge site landscaping
Motorhome and campervan pitches
High-traffic amenity areas within holiday parks
Access routes and parking areas requiring durable turf
New site development and pitch renovation

Sowing rates and mowing guidelines

Sowing rates

New establishment on bare ground: 35–50g per m²
Overseeding and renovation: 20–35g per m²

Recommended mowing height

25–40mm. Keep the sward at this height to encourage tillering and lateral spread from the creeping species, which supports density and wear recovery over time.

Best sowing times

Late summer to early autumn (August–October) is the preferred sowing window, giving the grass time to establish before the following season’s peak use. Spring sowing (March–May) also works well where soil moisture can be maintained.
