Sunshine Holiday Camp was owned by a local management team, Freshfields and was eventually bought out by Pontins in the 1960s. It was later bought by Warner in the 1980s and became known as Mill Rythe Holiday Village. After a few years, Warner decided to merge with Haven with the ownership of Mill Rythe Holiday Village. During the 1990s the ownership of the holiday camp changed a few times. It was close to administration and closing down in 2008.
In September 2010, newly formed holiday park operator, Away Resorts bought the park.
