We Pitched our touring caravan for the month of April, which was a bargain at £199! Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good, but that was no reflection on our time there as we chose this site specifically for the added extras.
We found our pitch at the top end of the field quite easily. We booked a hard standing pitch, which are all located around the outside of the grass pitches. We found them evenly spaced with adequate space for an awning and a car. The pitches are all sloping so you will need some standing blocks, but if you forget them the site has a few bricks which can be used. This was our first time in our caravan, but there was a security attendant who was happy to help us out, and very friendly.
The shower block was lovely and warm with plenty of showers and sinks. Water was hot and the block was regularly maintained throughout the day. By far the best shower blocks I have ever used, as we have camped in a tent for two years previous to buying the caravan.
The play park was nice, and the kids enjoyed having the freedom to come and go as they pleased (age 7&9). A short walk through the static caravans brings you to the main entertainment facilities. The entertainment was of the usual high standard of Haven, however, I have seen better swimming pools. This is a bog standard swimming pool with a separate slide, still, it entertained the kids for a hour.
There is a Burger King, Papa Johns Pizza, fish and chip shop and bar meals available. We didn't use any of these as we tended to eat out whilst visiting Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough. These are relatively small seaside resorts but adequate enough for my two kids who enjoy nothing more than a dig in the sand and an ice cream. There are some rides, but no big ones for the thrill seekers.
If you're looking for relaxation and an easy going holiday this is the best part of the coast, and a lovely site. We will definitely be returning at some point.
We have never used Haven before, but our friends have always said it was good value. £51. 00 for a week including electric, plus our dog, was a reasonably safe bet. We could always move on after a couple of nights, CC and CCC would charge us that for 3 nights. We booked online on the Wednesday for one week, starting the next day Thursday. 1000 Thursday morning we had a call from Haven warning us of high winds, so please take care on our journey, 'wow'.
We arrived 1730 in the evening, they advised us that most pitches were slightly sloping, but as we were in a small motorhome, they had identified a pitch that was reasonably level, 'wow again'. They took us to our pitch, explained was was included including pool and shows, (although not really to our scene).
The whole site was clean, tidy and well managed. The shower/toilet block was one of the best that I have seen, warm, clean, staffed most of the day, with really nice helpful people. No closing here at stupid times. We were a bit concerned about the fact that it is a very family orientated site, and we normally use adults only, but don't be put off, yes you need a bit of understanding because children are everywhere, playing but behaving.
The whole experience was good, plenty of walks, good dog area, bus to Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough on the doorstep. Food in Mash and Barrel surprisingly good, nice currys. The staff (or team as they call themselves) at this Haven site, should be very chuffed with themselves, their customer service is an example to other caravan sites, well done.
On arrival at the touring and camping office, The staff was very helpful. Even helped with our bags to the tent pitch,
We used the disabled toilets/shower, They are very moden and clean. The heating was on day and night.
There is a small children's play park on the touring area as well as a field to take dogs for a walk.
The bus stop is very close to the reception, so good for days out to filey, Scarborough, bridlington,
I found that there was every thing you needed on site, We used all three outside parks and the indoor play area. All very clean and tidy,
The sports area was clean, and staff helpful, I found there wsa a lot of different things for the kids to do.
The main complex had a good choice of food, fish and chips/pizza/bk/mash and barrel I found the food in there to be good value as you can feed a family of four for £20.
Along with the amusements and swimming pool. There is two bars, With good Entertainment for all ages,
The staff was very helpful, from the door staff to the fun stars, was all happy to offer any help at any time
The only thing I did find hard was that every thing is that compact in the club, no room to get around, Also there was a lot of children just running around. So my daughter did bump in to a few things and trip a few unsupervised children over with her long cain.
Just had a 5 night stay at Haven's Blue Dolphin. Pitch area was tidy, shower room was heated and water was very hot which was pleasing because the weather was so cold! Site wasn't busy due to time of year and weather so was quiet. Wasn't impressed with kiddies soft play room because the heating was broke. Found staff helpful on all accounts. On site chippy not good waited too long for food which wasn't up to standard. Some of the activities were not open like crazy golf, bike hire etc.
Have visited this site twice this year taking advantage of the special out of season offers. The toilet blocks were spotless and cleaned frequently, the facilities are good and the staff friendly and helpful. Many of the pitches slope a bit and can be very worn, if the site is quiet though you can just pitch on grassy bit to one side.
Lovely walk to Filey on the cliff top 'Cleveland way'.
Holidays only spoilt by the usual problem, irresponsible dog owners who let their dogs run around and mess on the grass, even if they pick it up its not very nice when your eating outside your tent.
Overall I think its a good site and will visit again in the future.
This is our 3rd visit to this site, nothings changed. Toilets were 100% clean. On site shop was ok. The pool was nice though on one day it was lovely and the second it felt cold, but not too cold to put a dampener on things. The check in ticket states 'no commercial vehicles on site' but this rule is blatantly disregarded, on our last night a fight broke out right outside our caravan at 2:00am. We made a quick call to security and it was dealt within minutes, and the morning after the commercial vehicle had been removed. The bar staff were as usual; totally useless and un friendly, it took 4 staff to decide a beer barrel had gone even though the queue was massive! but the funstars were 100% brilliant. The views from the top of the site are amazing! don't let the downsides put you off. All in all a 8/10
Large site, pitches easy enough to find ones we were on were little paving stones, was told to put jockey wheel on it by other campers which meant we were staggered but as we were talking up 3 pitches it worked fine for us. As with all haven sites club`s, pools etc are really busy during school holidays. Never saw a warden but clean toilet/shower block always hot water on tap. Will return for long weekend but preferably when we can get an offer.
Well what can I say, great stay from start to finish.
Site was massive, very friendly, shower and wc blocks amazingly clean, staff on site really friendly, one guy even helping a lady and her 3 girls put up there tent.
Security vans patrolling the site day and night. Club house entertainment was good (except the 'magician') loads for the kids to do during the day with 2 pools, although they should be bigger for the size of the site.
All in all I cant recommend it enough and will definitely be taking my family back again.
We stayed here for our first ever camping holiday! Initially we found our pitch really hard to find, as no assistance was given (apart from being handed a basic map) to find the pitch, and the numbers had worn off the flag stones marking the pitch. It was also not clear whether to park in front, to the left, or to the right of the flagstone.
However, it was a good site to start on as there is a shop on the site and really lovely shower/wash/toilet facilities. They were on the whole clean, but by the evening they did become untidy. The pitches are quite close together, so you will be near your neighbours! There was also of entertainment on, but most of it was child-orientated.
The location on the top of a cliff is really beautiful. You don’t get any direct views from the campsite, but we walked the dog on the large grassy area behind the static caravans, and really enjoyed the view
The reception desk was definitely understaffed, so be prepared for a queue when you arrive.
I would recommend this site to families, as the amount of facilities and activities for kids is really great, but maybe not the ideal place for a couple wanting a quiet retreat.
Just returned (9/6/12)from a week long stay. We booked 2 EHU pitches and were pleased with the spacious flat ground on 20 & 21, there are a lot of pitches on a slope. First few days no problems with pitches until the heavy rains which turned the ground into mud. The mud problem only got worse over the following days.
Toilets and showers were kept really clean, the cleaners seemed to work all day. Closest to the tents are large portable cabins which were quite modern and you didn't have to keep pressing the shower on button. A bit further up the hill was a large toilet block with disabled & family rooms.
I was informed by the children that the play park on the camping & touring site wasn't very good. The park on the static side was better, but a long walk from the tents. All the clubhouses, swimming pools etc are situated on the static site, all O. K. But pool was packed as it was school holidays.
I possibly would return in good weather when Haven have their deals on, but I would definitely ring the touring office and check the condition of the ground and book a flat pitch.
Really enjoyed our long weekend here and had a lovely flat basic pitch which was in easy walking distance to the immaculate toilet and shower blocks, which were the nicest I've seen.
Paid only £20 for 4 days on an offer which was great and included free passes.
My boyfriend and I were able to chill out and enjoy the lovely weather and scenery, while my 3 older sons could go to the clubs and arcades when they liked to have some entertainment or play football.
The whole site was clean and the free swimming pool was great and lots of things to do. A few places to eat but a bit more pricey than usual.
In very easy reach to Filey itself which has a wonderful beach and small friendly town with a lovely bakery and good pub serving a carvery on sunday, which we enjoyed, and a handy tesco.
Overall the site was very good value for money. I stayed in a tent one night it cost 10. 00. There were areas of the site that were muddy, but that was to expected due to all the rain we have had, some areas had been closed off. I had a choice were I could pitch and the staff was very helpful advising myself to the best areas. My friend was in a tent with hook up and didn't have a choice, pitch was ok, muddy when they left as they stayed longer. The showers etc were very clean even with the site being muddy in parts. The entertainment, pool etc was included in the price. Good site for families, lots for the kids to do. Good location for the coast.
This was our first venture with a caravan so we thought a Haven camp would be a safe bet, and it was. We stayed 4 nights and had a great time.
The facilities are very good and clean, the pitches are in good positions, and the fact that touring caravans are away from the static caravans is great, but to be able to use all the facilities is a bonus.
A very good first time caravanning experience for us. Would definitely use Haven sights again.
On arrival our pitch allocation and 'welcome' pack was ready so we quickly made our way to our pitch. Unfortunately, the allocated pitch was already occupied and a return to reception was required. When we got back, someone else had been having the same problem, however we suggested a vacant pitch to which they agreed.
That evening we decided to go to the 'Showbar' but found that there was no 'passes' in the welcome pack however as we had the Grandchildren with us, security overlooked it on this occasion advising us to see reception next morning. This we did attending at the touring reception opening time of 9. 00am. Unfortunately by 9. 20am on a freezing morning we were still waitng for someone to turn up. This being the second time we have visited this site, (albeit the last)it would be fair to say that it has improved, the toilet block is second to none and was always clean. The entertainment staff are hard working and never seem to stop although the rewards/prizes given to the children who take part in competitions are an embarrassment.
Overall the park is value for money providing you plan your activities carefully and avoid those which exact an extra charge.
The biggest negative is the distance the touring park is from the main entertainment complex.
We thought the fee was pricey, but made allowances and were looking forward to going as we knew that Haven and Butlins were owned by the same company.
The site was clean and the toilets / showers were immaculate. The staff seemed helpful and there were plenty of them.
There is a SPAR on site and the prices (although we thought were slightly elevated) were not too bad.
The arcade and function rooms felt a little run down. We were disappointed with the offering of convenience fast food shops (Pizza and a burger bar) although there was not really anywhere to sit down and eat except tables outside which was great considering it was cold, windy and wet!
The site is not too far from Filey (A 10 minute drive) which was good as Filey has great beaches for the kids.
