The park attracts RV travelers in search of mild winters and a central point from which to explore the Gulf Coast.

The park's name (and inspiration) derives from the narrow gauge railways that still serve remote areas of Wales in Great Britain. On those "light railways", the locomotives and cars are smaller, and they run on a "narrow gauge" — the distance between the tracks is 2 feet instead of 4 ft. 8½ inches for a standard railroad.

At various times throughout the year Wales West plays host to special events. It has been a longstanding venue for live bluegrass music.
