'We have found park resorts (same thing) to be cheaper this year than haven. '

The only park resorts I have ever tried is Ty Mawr which was awful and nowhere near as good as any Haven site we have been to.  Despite lots of special offers sent to us, we have never been tempted again.

I went to Skipsea this summer, and it wasn't the best, although not awful either.

If you can, try and get a pitch round the edge rather than in the middle. The pitches round the edge near the pond looked best in terms of being quiet.

I think they tend to bung all the tents in the middle, and we found there was a lot of noise, although that was just down to several inconsiderate people. Showers were hot but not that clean, was only mopped/cleaned once a day and was so busy both blocks got filthy.

We were also unfortunate it had been raining, so we basically pitched on a muddy puddle, didn't help it started to rain as we were pitching as well so got drenched!

As I say, it wasn't awful, and for the prices of the haven parks I would consider going somewhere similar again. I think pitches at park resorts are bigger, when I've looked at the pitch size for haven in October half term they all say they're 6 by 4 or smaller, so wouldn't fit my tent.
