I decided to try Haven again after last years wash out in Yorkshire something more for the kids to do on the wet days.
The Pitch
The touring area is like a disused lay-by with trees to the right and a metal fence to the left the pitches are large we pitched at the end of the road on No19.
The children cleared the rubbish that was lying around into one carrier bag.
Our view was towards the metal fence (300 yards approx) but was blocked for two days by a Static caravan which was dumped 15 feet from our van's front window.
The toilets
On all the caravan club CL's I have used over the years that have toilet facilities the ones at Craig Tara do not come close to the standard found on the CL's. My first visit was at around 22:00 on the day of arrival of the four WC's none had toilet paper, two were overflowing with excrement, one had the flush handle missing and the final one was made operational by me sorting the flushing mechanism. My complaint was dealt with by saying that the toilets are cleaned at 12:00 each day, the girl tried to contact House Keeping but got no response. I checked later that day still no toilet paper but the missing flush handles had been replaced.
The showers are very small and as I am no slim Jim I would not fit in so I used the vans shower facilities that night ample room in my Bailey 550/6.
Reports on the ladies toilets were not much better but the main issue there was the toilets flooding.
Use the disabled toilet it has more room, is warmer and cleaner and on most days has toilet paper.
The Resort
Swimming pool was adequate to keep our two quiet on most days, I used the pool twice and noticed the scum ring that ran all the way round the pool, quite disgusting, but the amount of chlorine used in the water satisfied me that the dirt was rendered harmless I also had no side effects.
The overall appearance of the resort is that they have paid off most of their cleaners.
Food
The Carvery was not too bad although the mashed potatoes were of the instant variety.
Prices
Two large (yards £3.95 initially) Cokes and a 4 pint jug of Carlsberg £18, on the consecutive days it was £14.
Entertainment
If you have been to Haven you know what it's like, if not I will not spoil it for you.
Incidentally the weather was dry for the week.

The touring site was ok with plenty of room between pitches. Showers were a bit small but clean. The complex however was a big disappointment, we watched as a man running the candyfloss/doughnut stand sat smoking then wiped his nose down the length of his palm climbed back into the stand without washing his hands and put them into the doughtnut mix to prepare to cook. The night entertainment was ok but some members of staff that were finished their shift sat beside us swearing loudly and constantly much to my disgust as my kids were sat with us. The lake with the swan boats was stagnent and full of rubbish. We thought we would try the pool which was good and the kids enjoyed the slides but the whole place was in need to be cleaned and repairs.

Paid £100.80 for two nights fri till sun felt it was a lot of money for what it was you are outside main complex, no view very shut in. There was also a lot of rubbish in woods behind our plot 19 and a rotten dead rabbit lying. The toilet block and showers were clean and staff were friendly. No play area for kids in touring site and too far to let them down to main site.

You have to find an available pitch you are not allocated one. The toilet block was horrible the doors did not lock and were dirty, the chemical toilet was disgusting. I booked 4 days here for the children to enjoy themselves on our way home from scotland, left after 3 days.

The site was lovely, lots of things to do but the pool closes a bit early though. Ayr town is just down the road which is nice and a fun park is 2 mins well next door what is great.
Definately go back but would stay in a caraven.

Disappointed with the touring site. It was the most expensive site that we stayed at in our 3 week touring holiday. (£138 for 4 nights). We were allocated a site between a lamppost and a smelly, wasp infested bin. The ground was level enough but so uneven that we couldn't even sit in the awning to eat. There was no facilities for the kids to play apart from the gravel road.
The toilet block was in dire need of rebuilding. The sanitary ware was really old and cracked. The caretaker did his best to keep it clean and fresh but it was an impossible task. There was a dish washing room in the wooden building reached by steps, but nowhere to put the dishes to drain.
We did complain at reception but all the duty manager did was empathise with us. The whole touring site is to be rebuilt soon.
It was quite a walk down to the entertainment complex, not suitable for infirm (or unfit). The complex itself it still the same with plenty for the kids. Take plenty of money for amusements etc. Pity the pool shuts so early in the evening. Would we go back?? Don't know, but not until the touring site is up to scratch.
