Parent View:
Off peak from £20 per night for a family tent pitch/ Peak time from £54. As a budget holiday – this is an incredibly good value night away with full access to the Entertainment and pool’s over two days. The Kidz were desperate to go camping, so we did it – and we couldn’t have camped in better style. I used to be a bit snobby about these holiday camps – but they do create a great atmosphere for the guests and the staff are great fun and really helpful.

I’m not sure if I could do 7 days of camping like the boys suggested in the review (maybe in one of the larger more elaborate tents on the complex), but one night wasn’t enough. There is so much to do – and Haven are very generous with the entertainment on offer within the price tag. Highly recommended – we had a cracking two days!!
