Date of Visit: September 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Nightworker 3 reviews from this member

 Our second stay of 2010 was wetter. However the site held up well despite the rainfall. Facilities excellent due to Haven site you can use them if you want or tour the wonderful lakes. Security good and toilet / shower facilities clean and excellent. I was surprised to see door security no longer in use and feel this could be reviewed. The local village of Flookburgh is a gentle walk away with an excellent fish n' chip shop and good local pubs. The village butcher also stocks excellent produce to encourage the camp side breakfast.

Already booked for 2011

Reviewer: Craftymummy 3 reviews from this member

 We have just spent a lovely four days camping at this site. We were given permission to pick our own pitch. Given that we had three large tents and a pup tent to put up we needed a large enough space! The pitch was flat and well drained. We did have slight flooding but after a couple of thunder storms and it soon cleared up.

The toilet block was always clean whenever I visited, although I was told by one of our party that the sanitary bins were overflowing one morning before cleaning.

Overall the site was great and the children had a lovely time on their scooters around the site.

 Stayed at this site as a treat for children, normally stay on less commercial sites.Won't be doing that again! Arrived and booked in to be told put your tent where you like except not on the middle bit, which was fair enough.

Only one block on the tourers/tent which with young children was a bit of a pain trekking in the night to the toilets. Checked the cleaning schedule and there is no way that this is adhered to! It apparently gets deep cleaned twice a day, maybe my idea of deep cleaning and theirs is different but I ended up cleaning the soap dispensers as they were disgusting.

The skips were over flowing with rubbish!

The security on site was amusing as we were not stopped once by the guard on the gate that was always up to ask for any kind of id that we were actually staying on site.

Had breakfast on site for 2.95 which was pleasantly nice on the first day, luckily we tried it again on the last and were glad we were going home!

Everything is extra even the bouncy castle, only freebie is the swimming pool which was nice and clean and had plenty of lifegaurds on duty.

 This is the cleanest campsite I have ever been to. The toilet block was always clean.

Kids loved the playground and evening entertainment.

All prices were ok, Shop on site sold everything we needed.

Will def go again.

All staff were friendly and could not do enough.

Food on site quite cheep, and very nice! I look forward to going back again soon.

Reviewer: Dazid1 4 reviews from this member

 We used this site as it was next to the steam gathering we were attending the next day, used it for convenience more than anything, no real organisation to the touring and tent pitches at all.

The usual big site facilities good for young families. The down side is noise with no policing of it at all and the prices are OTT Just been quoted £69 for one night this year I will be staying elsewhere this time, not up to the usual Haven standard.

Reviewer: Shaun + Lorraine 5 reviews from this member

 Facilities very good. Showers/toilets very clean.

We didn't use the club, pool etc but they looked really good; modern and well kept. The shop was well-stocked and reasonable.

10 minute walk to small village which had couple of pubs and a chippy.

Short drive to Grange-over-sands (10mins) which has plenty of local independent shops.

Southern lakes very close to site (30mins)

We weren't on main area as we didn't need hook-up. It did look a bit packed in the hook-up area and it could be a bit difficult finding a path through to the toilet without disturbing someone's BBQ. Our pitch was ample and flat. No complaints.

Reviewer: Backyardigan 2 reviews from this member

 Hi we have just returned from this site and definitely saw an improvement from last year. We tend to tour the haven sites for value for money but this is a nice little cosy site that just seems to drag you back time after time. The updated toilets are nice and the swimming pool is lovely. This site needed the upgrade. The friendly warden is very well focused and arranges the caravans all together and tents together as much as he can. The new drainage system kept the pitches from flooding and it was torrential rain whilst we were there.Previous visits we would have flooded. In all its always money well spent on a nice friendly little site handy for lake district and wildlife park in barrow. Well worth a visit.

Reviewer: Debs3036 4 reviews from this member

 Visited site Tues - Friday. Where shown to our pitch by helpful warden who I saw walking the site on more than one occasion.

Good points - new showers and toilets, 5 pot wash sinks, new pool, nice looking bar area although we didn't use it, Spar shop, plenty of water points, good value for money.

Bad points - pitched very close together, grass pitch was half hard standing, noise after the 12pm quiet time. The worst thing was the toilets - no toilet paper each morning (8am ish)and a horrible sight in most of the toilets. Deep cleaning doesn't happen until 12.

Think its good for family groups and would go again despite the toilet problems.

Reviewer: Vikkimayaustin 5 reviews from this member

 What a fab site!

Before even setting off we received a phone call to advise us to reconsider going as there had been heavy rainfall and many of the tent field was flooded. Of course, we've never been afraid of the wet and rain and decided to go anyway! Upon arrival we had a friendly welcome and were told we could pitch up wherever we wanted and wherever we could. I daresay the man thought we were rather amusing!

Pitching was easy and the fields were not as bad as we expected them to be. The toilet & shower block were well kept and code-protected and situation right bang in the middle of the main tent field which was very good.

Many bins across the site so never any need to store up rubbish. The main facilities (restaurant, pool, arcades etc. ) were a little walk away but nothing to moan about.

Also a chippy on site which was wonderful! The restaurant food, as I will always say, is nothing to boast about and I really don't know why we waste our money going! Other than that, the entertainment is great, the arcades are great, the pool was lovely and everything was clean and well kept and we felt very comfortable.

Of course, being located in the lakes made this site of perfect location. It didn't seem to be too far away from anything we wanted to visit, so we had an amazing time touring Lake Windermere, visiting museums and much more.

We enjoyed it so much we wanted to extend our stay, which the staff were only too happy to assist with, but remembered other commitments we had at home - devastated!

Cannot wait to go back, but will have to wait until next year after seeing the prices for this year! The location and facilities are very good but I'm sure there are sites just as well or almost as well equipped that will provide better value for money.

Reviewer: Mariao 3 reviews from this member

 Overall impressions were good. Obviously money has been spent to improve facilities.

The touring area was not over busy but due to size seemed crammed. The electric hook ups are in the middle of the area and the pitches were dry, uneven and bare. The basic pitches were in better condition and were around the perimeter so quieter and more private.

The showers, toilets and washing up area were fab. Very clean. No sockets for hairdryers, shaving point sockets only [only saw the female facilities]

Not sure where the laundry area is located on site. Also a rule that no washing lines were to be used. Every one drying clothing on wind breaks.

Entertainment facilities very close about 1-2 mins walk, not sure if noisy at night.

Lovely pools, crazy golf, bowling green etc

Tennis courts and grass football pitch also close by.

Seemed to have haven entertainment for youngsters but not sure if children 11 years plus may be bored.

Date of Visit: June 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cozy 3 reviews from this member

 We were generally impressed and overall felt the site was good value.

We've camped at a few Haven sites now and found this to be the cleanest of them all and the least 'commercial' - in that you don't have everything thrust at you to buy, buy, buy.

The facilities in themselves on the site were brilliant (new toilet block & Complex) and the food prices were reasonable enough. £2.95 for a cooked breakfast.

The touring warden David is a legend and always had a smile for everyone and always did his best with any questions you had for him. He was always on / around the site.

Kids loved it as there was plenty of families camped on the site and lots of new friends to play with.

My only 'gripes' were

The pitches were obviously overused - by this I mean large areas were bald and they became muddy when it rained or very dusty when dry. It looked like they hadn't been given the time to recover from use but this was not in keeping with the rest of the site which was landscaped fantastically (maybe Haven will look at this as they had seemed to fit some drainage / grates to the pitches to help drain them off).

As it was the school holidays the site was quite busy and this meant that most pitches were taken and the site obviously 'packed them' in so you did find that you were camped close to the next unit.

One toilet block with 5 showers and 5 toilets + Sinks in the Gents didn't seem enough to cope with the large numbers of pitches when the site was at it's busiest (seemed a shame as this meant that the new toilet block was getting a lot of use / hammer at times)

We had a problem on one of the nights when the cast of Shameless pitched next to us and had a mini music festival until 2am. This upset several of the families pitched locally to them and David (the Touring Warden) was swift to react to complaints the next day but we felt that maybe a rule on when the site should 'quieten' down should be enforced by the site security periodically patrolling through the night.

If Haven landscaped the pitches (hardstanding), put an extra toilet block in there to help cope when busy and maybe organised a play area within the touring area for the kids it could quite possibly be one of the best family sites in the country.

We'll definitely return as overall we enjoyed the site/facilities and the staff helped make the holiday and fell over themselves to help you if you had any questions/problems.

Signposting to the site could be a little clearer (and our Sat Nav took us to completely the wrong place when we used the Postcode on the haven website- be warned)

 My previous review wasn't a good one and I'm pleased to see that Haven are finally listening to their customers!

Excellent new shower/toilet blocks

Very friendly warden and well organised

Excellent facilities on site with a gorgeous warm pool

Haven have invested in this site over the winter and it shows, this site is now one of Havens best and we loved it. Only thing I could say on a negative point is they could do with making the pitches hardstanding, there are no markers our boundaries so people take us as much room as they want!

Great site at a great price we will be returning!

 The last time we visited this site was in 2007 and we were pleased that there has been quite a few improvements made to the site since our last visit.

Met by the warden who had a proper reception unlike at the last visit when it was an old static caravan! Very friendly chap, a credit to Haven.

We had a grass pitch with no EHU and were told to pitch anywhere around the outskirts of the field. The entire area is flat and the ground was dry. Plenty of space to pitch but I reckon there was only around 30 tents, don't know what it would be like when the site is busy.

The EHU's were all in the middle of the field and the caravans and tents looked like they had been squashed in. Don't think I would take an electric pitch if available, less than a couple of metres between units.

The toilet/washblock is brand new, so new it was due to be completed in the week after we left. Toilets clean never a shortage of paper. 5 new showers with a power shower head, the only complaint I would have is that there is no temp control on the showers. Also had power points which it previously did not have. Also the building was bright and airy. No smells!

Spar shop on site but I personally thought it was poorly stocked. Lots of shop floor space taken up with toys and gifts. Poor selection of basics such as bread / rolls and what they did have sold out quick.

Swimming pool was great, looked very new. Lots of changing space and free lockers to keep your clothes etc safe and dry. Only downside, to get to it you have to go through the amusement arcade. This is true also to get to any of the other facilities!

Food on site reasonably priced. Set 3 course menu in pub / restaurant £9 which is ok, have to say we didn't eat in but it was always busy so I am guessing the food was good. Did try the Fish and Chip takeaway, that was delicious. Proper fish cooked to order.

Plenty of space for our 9yr old to play in, felt he was safe too.

Good price early season £23 for 2 nights, considering the Haven factor in for the price its good value for money and we will be visiting again.

 2 adults 3 kids. Arrived Friday afternoon and greeted by friendly staff, told to pitch anywhere on the outside of the touring field. Ground flat and hard, plenty of spaces.

Lots of entertainment for the kids, very clean toilet and shower blocks, good dishwash area and plenty of hot water. It rained all night but the ground was not that bad which I expected after reading other reviews. A good site for our trial run.

Reviewer: Futabadirk 4 reviews from this member

 After reading reviews of site I was in two minds, but got there and we all thought it was fab, very clean, polite and looked very new. The shower blocks etc. are the best I've seen Five stars, only thing was when we were there they had problems with water pressure, sure that's fixed now as its only a month old, (teething trouble I guess)

Now we were greeted by Dave now he's a legend. Great helpful chap. Club house and entertainment first class, kids loved it, brand new swimming pool, never seen kids, always in it, the only thing you'll require are decent tent pegs as grounds very hard, but managed.

Great shop on site, its a Spar, so normal prices, not rip offs like some camps, beer in club decent at £2.75 a pint! good food on site also arcade bowling, grazy golf etc.

We walked up to town about 20mins walk, nice day for it, couple of local boozers there, shop, pharmacy, also cracking butchers for BBQ meats etc.

So to be honest, I'm keeping this site as best by far, cant wait to go back, it cost us family of five elecy hook up for four nights £94, which I thought reasonable for all the parks activity's.
