What's new for 2022

We listened to feedback from our guests and have made some changes around how to access our on park swimming, activities and entertainment, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to have a brilliant holiday in 2022.

We have removed the need to pre-book entertainment, so you can now just turn up and enjoy the show!
We have also made restaurant tables, activities and swimming slots available to pre-book from up to 4 weeks before your break.
Arrive and swim in our outdoor pools* all day and in our indoor pools after 6pm** with no need to book. For indoor swimming pre-6pm you can book slots before and during your stay.

*Outdoor pools, and some SplashZones and Lazy Rivers, are open between 11 April - 30 September only, weather permitting.

**Applies to weekends, bank holidays and school holidays only.

5 tips for a smooth arrival

Before you start your journey, use the My Haven app* or log in to haven.com/experience

to view and save your personalised map to navigate to your holiday home on park.
You can arrive up to 2 hours before their designated arrival time, but no earlier than 11am (if you have a 12pm-1pm designated check-in, you can only arrive 1 hour before your arrival time)

If you arrive early, you'll have access to use the restaurants, arcades, shops and have free roam of outdoor spaces on their parks. Please note: your accommodation can only be accessed at your designated arrival time. If you've booked a Haven break, you can pick up your Play Passes from inside your accommodation at your designated arrival time.

3. Stay in your vehicle when you get to the park entrance and show the Haven team member your arrival pass on your phone (or a screenshot) through the window.

4. When you get to your holiday home it will be sealed – break the seal and you will find your keys inside.

5. Get settled in, take a good look around and rate the cleanliness of your holiday home on the My Haven app* or via haven.com/experience

Please note: Please do not arrive any earlier than two hours before your allocated arrival time (reminder: 12pm-1pm check-in can only arrive 1 hour before their arrival time), as you may be asked to leave the park and return during your allocated time slot in order to help keep other guests safe and secure.

*The My Haven app is available to download on via Google Play or App Store .

Choose Your Holiday Home

Choose Your Holiday Home gives you the option to pick your location and exact holiday home on park, before you arrive, from £30*.

It is available for the majority of Haven guests, however we're unfortunately unable to offer it on the following bookings:

7-night bookings arriving on a Saturday
A booking of more than 7-nights
3rd Party bookings
Groups

View your options by logging in to My Account, click on 'see details' and if your break qualifies for Choose Your Holiday Home, it will be listed in 'extras for you'. All that's left to do is to click to choose and book the van of your choice.

Our Caravan Cleanliness Guarantee

Should you enter your caravan and find it not cleaned to the high levels that we expect then please make contact with a member of our park team.

View details of our Caravan Cleanliness Guarantee.

Please note: if the seal on your caravan is broken when you arrive, please do not enter and contact a member of the park team immediately who will be able to assist you.

Check out

On the day of departure we ask that all our guests leave their holiday homes by 10am and drop their keys to their accommodation into the buckets provided on the way out. We want guests to be able to make the most of their time away with us and you are welcome to use the park facilities on your departure day for any bookings such as activities, swimming and restaurants. However, the last activity or table booking you should make is for 4pm.

RNLI water safety

At Haven, we're proud to be partnered with the RNLI. Many of the 238 lifeboat stations around the UK are right next to our parks, meaning their crews are on standby should any of our guests ever find themselves struggling out at sea. Please take a look at how to keep safe on the beach and in the water.

Government guidelines

The situation around the Coronavirus pandemic is constantly changing and Government restrictions will differ across our parks from time to time. Please be familiar with the current restrictions in the area from which you are travelling and in the area you are travelling to, and follow all the directions given by the Government including social distancing and who we can meet etc.

Health and safety

We have outlined advice and information to keep you safe and secure during your stay. Please take a moment to read our health and safety guide.
