The short version: book peak weeks as soon as you know your dates, and treat everything else as considerably more flexible.
There isn't one single answer to how far ahead you should book, because it depends heavily on when you actually want to go.
The key decision is how you split everyone across accommodation. Larger static caravans, often three-bedroom units, can comfortably sleep a wider family group under one roof, which suits families who want everyone together for meals and evenings but still want separate bedrooms for a good night's sleep. If the group is bigger still, booking two adjoining or nearby units, one for grandparents and one for the rest of the family, gives everyone their own space to retreat to while keeping you close enough to wander over for a cup of tea or to hand over the children for an hour.
A spontaneous short break is entirely possible with a UK holiday park, you just need to know where the flexibility usually sits.
Noise and privacy tend to worry first-timers more than they need to. Units are generally spaced with a reasonable gap between them, and most parks are quieter in the evenings than people expect, particularly outside peak school holiday weeks.
As a rough guide: book six months or more ahead for summer holiday weeks, two to three months ahead for seaside caravan breaks half terms and bank holidays, and anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months ahead for a standard term-time week. If you're flexible on exact dates, you can comfortably push closer to the wire; if you're fixed on a specific week, particularly a school holiday one, earlier is always safer than later.
