10 Best Haven Holiday Parks - 2025

Search for Haven's 
​last minute bargains

There are about 40 Haven holiday parks in the UK but we’ve picked 10 which we think are the best. We looked at various factors including hundreds of visitor reviews from different websites, as well as facilities and location.
 
In my view, Haven Holiday Parks are better than most of the big chains of caravan site, although the quality does vary. They aren’t always the cheapest, but they work out as good value if you fill up a caravan or if you can avoid the busiest weeks (see our other tips for saving money on Haven holidays). They are ideal for families who want plenty to do, but are generally less suited for romantic couples looking for silence.

It's worth noting that you can choose whether or not to pay to use the facilities at a Haven holiday park. If you just want a base for exploring and might use the onsite restaurants, then I would go for a Haven Hideaway holiday. If you want to use the swimming pools, watch the entertainment and try out activities then you need to pick a standard Haven holiday (read our blog about Haven Hideaway if you're undecided).

The grading system for Haven caravans was changed a couple of years ago. Your options are now Saver (cheapest), Bronze, Silver, Gold and Signature (most expensive). Upgrading gets you things like sea views, wider caravans, towels provided, outside space and dishwashers. We've written a full comparison of what you get for upgrading or you can read the official comparison.
 
For our price comparison we looked at one week in August 2025 and have given awards for the cheapest in our top 10 and for the best value Haven holiday park in Britain.

1. Hopton Holiday Village – Norfolk​

Hopton Holiday Village is one of the highest-rated Haven holiday parks in the whole country, with an average score of 4/5 on Trip Advisor and 4.5/5 on Google Reviews (or 85% overall).
 
It’s a short drive to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk or Lowestoft in Suffolk so there are lots of family friendly attractions nearby.
 
Hopton is right by a sandy beach and the park itself is well equipped with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, minigolf, tennis courts, fencing and a bowling green. A new 'entertainment arena' opened at Hopton in 2019 with a couple of restaurants as well as soft play.
 
The other Haven park in Norfolk worth considering is Wild Duck Holiday Park, which also gets rave reviews (90% overall). Both of them are dog friendly holiday parks. Wild Duck edges it on review scores, but it's an inland resort. Personally, I love being near to the beach when I stay at a holiday park.

Price comparison: £809 for a family of four for a week in August 2025 (Saver caravan). That price was for a Friday arrival, it costs about £130 more for a Saturday arrival so it's worth being flexible.

​Our prices are based on standard Haven holidays, which means you can use the facilities. If you just want a base for exploring, you can save some money by picking the Haven Hideaway option when you book.

2. Hafan y Môr Holiday Park – North Wales

If you want a big and busy Haven caravan park in Wales, I would go for Hafan y Môr Holiday Park, which had a big revamp in 2019. We reckon it is one of the five largest Haven resorts in the UK.

It's got a whopping nine restaurants, nine play areas and a big swimming pool with a four lane waterslide. There's also an 'adventure village' called Dragon Lakes with things like high ropes courses, a boating lake and a sports court. Back-to-nature type activities include treasure hunts, den building, bug hunts and bushcraft. You have to pay extra for some things, but Haven activities are usually cheaper than Center Parcs.

Customers give it 4/5 on TripAdvisor whilst it scores a very impressive 4.4/5 on Google reviews.​ That gives us an average of 84%. 

You can walk down to a (mostly stony) beach and it's a dog friendly holiday park.

Price: £1075 for a week in a 'Saver caravan' for a family of four in August 2025.

An excellent alternative is Greenacres Holiday Park, which is another large Haven holiday park in North Wales with good reviews. It isn't quite as big, but it's well placed for exploring Snowdonia and it has a popular beach, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a ‘splash zone’, adventure golf and other sporty things. It was £240 cheaper than Hafan y Môr for the dates we checked in August 2025.

3. Perran Sands Caravan Holiday Park - Cornwall

Haven has got two holiday parks in Cornwall - Perran Sands and Riviere Sands - and to be honest there's not a great deal between them.

They’re both by the seaside and they’ve both got indoor and outdoor swimming pools. They both have several places to eat and surf lessons, as well as various sports on site.

Riviere Sands gets slightly better reviews (84% compared to 78% for Perran Sands) but Perran Sands is larger and has a bigger range of activities.
 
My advice for a Cornwall holiday is to think carefully about location. Cornwall’s roads are often slow and blocked by tractors so you are unlikely to be able to explore the whole county if you decide to stay in the remote (but very pretty) southern tip (Lizard Peninsula) or the northern end near the Devon border. A round trip from Bude to Lands End will take you more than four hours – my children get bored of car journeys after about 15 minutes.
 
For that reason, I’d pick Perran Sands, which is fairly central to the county without being in touristy Newquay itself. You could just about visit any part of the county in a day (at a stretch) and you’ve got a load of family friendly attractions in Newquay, which is only a short drive away. Riviere Sands is in a much more remote location in southern Cornwall.

Riviere Sands doesn't allow dogs, so that might be the clincher for some people. However, Perran Sands is usually more expensive than Riviere Sands.

Price comparison: £1235 for a family of four for a week in August 2025 in a Saver caravan at Perran Sands. That price was for a Friday arrival. If you arrived a day later it added on another £220! 

Haven Riviere Sands started from £1125 for mid-August 2025, which is £110 cheaper than Perran Sands.

4. Devon Cliffs Caravan Holiday Park – Devon

There’s only one Haven holiday park in Devon, but Devon Cliffs is a decent one (4/5 on Trip Advisor and 4.4/5 on Google Reviews, or 84% overall). It is Haven's largest park in the UK with more than 1600 caravans.
 
There's a good-sized indoor swimming pool with waterslides, as well as a couple of outdoor swimming pools, a high ropes course and a segway course (two wheeled balance thingys). It’s near to the descriptive Sandy Bay and you can do watersports on the beach.

Other activities include bowling, archery, minigolf, pottery painting and playgrounds (you pay extra for some activities).
 
The location is convenient, in that it is only a short drive from the M5 and is near to Exeter, Sidmouth and Seaton, which all have plenty of touristy things for a day out.

As you'd expect from Haven, there's a good range of accommodation, including caravans which are Saver, Bronze, Silver and Gold. They also have some Luxury Lodges. Read our guide to the Haven accommodation grading system to get an idea of what you are getting for your money or read the official guide.

Read our full guide to Devon Cliffs.

Price comparison: £1135 for a family of four for a week in August 2025 (Devon Cliffs 'Saver caravan'). That's the price for arriving on a Friday. A Saturday arrival was about £200 extra (!).

5. Thornwick Bay Holiday Village – Yorkshire

**Winner: best value holiday park**

Thornwick Bay in East Yorkshire is one of Haven's newest holiday parks (it opened in 2016). It gets an average score of 4/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.5/5 on Google Reviews or 85% overall.

It's got an indoor swimming pool, which won an award when it opened. It doesn't have an outdoor pool (let's be honest though, Britain's weather is not ideal for outdoor swimming pools). There are loads of things to do onsite, including archery, fencing, painting and sand art. Some of the activities cost extra, but you can get bundles which make it a bit cheaper.

They also put on kite flying and birdwatching activities, although I can't imagine my six year old keeping quiet enough for the latter...

You can wander down to a stony beach in 10 minutes. For a day trip, Bridlington is about 15 minutes away in the car whilst Scarborough is a 40 minute drive. 

Price comparison: £685 for a family of four in a Saver caravan for a week in August 2025. On this occasion, arriving on a Friday or Saturday was the same price.

6. Doniford Bay Holiday Park – Somerset

**Winner: cheapest holiday park**

Doniford Bay gets marginally better reviews than Haven’s other Somerset holiday park at Burnham on Sea - but they've both decent. TripAdvisor reviewers give both resorts 4/5 whilst Google Reviews puts Doniford Bay on 4.4/5 and Burnham on Sea Holiday Park on 4.3/5 (or 84% versus 83% respectively).

That puts both of them amongst the top half of Haven parks based on customer reviews (Lydstep Beach Holiday Park in South Wales and Norfolk’s Wild Duck Holiday Park are the highest rated with an average of 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor or 90% overall). 

Doniford Bay Holiday Park doesn't have as many activities as some Haven resorts, but it has got indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The outdoor pool was refurbished in 2017 and has a four lane waterslide. It's also got a zip wire and climbing wall, crazy golf, tennis, pottery painting, archery and a sports court. There are a couple of places to eat out.

As the name suggest, it is right on the beach. I'd say the beach is one for exploring and searching for shells rather than one for swimming and sandcastle building. 

Doniford Bay is dog friendly, whereas Burnham on Sea Holiday Park doesn't allow pets.

Price comparison: £669 for a week for a family of four in August 2025 in a Saver caravan.

7. Haven Rockley Park - Dorset

There are four Haven holiday parks fighting for your attention in Dorset. They're all very good but Rockley Park is the winner for us because of its location and good value.

The four to choose from include three Weymouth holiday parks (Weymouth Bay Caravan Holiday Park, Littlesea Holiday Park and Seaview Holiday Park) or Rockley Park near Bournemouth. Weymouth Bay and Seaview are two halves of one resort and you can use the facilities at both, whichever one you choose. 

Weymouth is a bucket-and-spade resort with loads for families to do and it’s also centrally located for exploring West Dorset - which is lovely. It's the area around where Broadchurch was filmed. 

Personally, I prefer Bournemouth to Weymouth (or Wey-biza as we used to call it) and find it a little bit classier so I've gone for Rockley Park. The other advantage of Rockley Park is that it's right next to a beach, whereas Weymouth Bay and Seaview are a 15 minute walk or a short drive.

The three Weymouth resorts score about 82% or 83% from customers, whilst Rockley Park is slightly lower with a still-respectable 77%.  All of the parks have indoor swimming pools and entertainment. Overall, I would say that Rockley Park has the best swimming pool, as it has a slide, flume and a 'Splash Zone'.

Rockley has got three outdoor play areas, water sports, adventure golf, a climbing wall, a sports court and four places to eat and drink. There are also lodges if you want an upgrade.

Seaview is the Dorset holiday park with glamping options, such as safari tents for those who like the feel of a chill wind blowing up your trouser leg.

Price comparison: £895 for a week in a caravan for a family of four in August 2025 at Haven Rockley Park Holiday Park.

Meanwhile, Seaview Holiday Park was from £975, Littlesea Holiday Park was from £1015 and Weymouth Bay was the most expensive by far at £1149.

8. Lydstep Beach Holiday Park – South Wales​

Lydstep Beach Holiday Park is Haven’s best holiday park in Wales according to customers with average reviews of 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.5/5 on Google reviews - or 90% overall. However, you'll find it gets booked up quicker than most and it is much smaller than other Haven resorts in Wales, such as Hafan y Môr Holiday Park (see number 2).

It’s got an indoor swimming pool, which is essential for dreary days. There is also kayaking on the nearby beach, a climbing wall, fencing and a few other things to do.
 
It’s right by the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, which is a real bonus, unless your children are of an age where they will complain relentlessly about walking. 

Lydstep Beach is a dog friendly holiday park (that is a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view!)

Price comparison: £915 for a Bronze caravan for a week in August52024 for a family of four.

9. Haven Seton Sands Caravan Holiday Park – Scotland

Our only Scottish entry into this Haven top 10 holiday parks guide is Seton Sands, which is on the east coast, about half an hour from Edinburgh. It averages 4/5 on TripAdvisor and 4.3/5 on Google Reviews or 83% overall. That is slightly above average for Haven parks.

It won our cheapest holiday park award for 2023 but it was mid-table for 2024 and 2025.
 
There’s a 9 hole golf course at Seton Sands, whereas most holiday parks just have crazy golf. There is also an indoor swimming pool, an adventure trail and other activities including fishing, golf, archery and soft play.

If you want to explore, it's a couple of hours to Scotland's main national parks, such as Loch Lomond or the Trossachs. On the plus side, it's very near to the beach on the East Lothian coast. 


Price comparison: £869 for a week in a saver caravan for a family of four in August 2025.

Also consider: If you want a Haven holiday park in Scotland on a much larger scale then I would go for Haven Craig Tara. It's much easier to reach from Glasgow, whereas Seton Sands is closer to Edinburgh. For the dates we checked in 2025, it was considerably cheaper at £699.

Many years ago, Craig Tara was a Butlins resort, so it is jam-packed with activities and things to do. The onsite swimming pool is more like a waterpark and had a big refurbishment in 2015. The resort also has five different outdoor playgrounds, six restaurants and things like zip wires and high ropes.

See our full comparison of Craig Tara and Seton Sands.

10. Haven Lakeland Leisure Park – The Lake District, Cumbria

Haven’s only Cumbrian holiday park isn’t right in the heart of the Lake District, but it’s only a 20 minute drive to Windermere or half an hour to Coniston.
 
Reviews of Lakeland are pretty good at 3.5/5 on TripAdvisor or 4.2/5 on Google reviews or 77% overall. It’s certainly a decent base for exploring one of the nicest parts of England.
 
The park itself has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a 9 hole golf course and an ‘aerial adventure’ course as well as bowling, tennis courts and an adventure trail. Other activities include a football academy and pottery painting, though you do pay extra for some things.

It's got coastal walks near the park, but it doesn't really have a beach where you can go for a paddle.

Lakeland is often one of the best value Haven holiday parks in the UK. It was the cheapest in our 2024 comparison and is in the top half for 2025.

Price: £835 for a week in a Saver caravan for a family of four in August 2025.
