Haven touring, out of season deals.

[Branston]

A mention of really inexpensive deals popped up on social media the other day quoting £8 a night at certain Haven parks (Mablethorpe was mentioned) but of course can't find the article again. Has anyone got any knowledge of this please?
Thanks, Branston (alias Tightwad)

I think you will struggle to find £8 but if you Google haven offers you might find some at around a tenner.
Marten mere in Blackpool usually has some offers.

 

[Jo-jo]

Have you looked on their website? We've just had a week at Reighton Sands for £93.

It can be as cheap as £7 a night without EHU.

 

[tonka]

Just go on the website and search.

We did Blackpool about this time last year, it wasn't £8 but was quite cheap from what i remember.

 

[Jo-jo]

If you're looking to go now, it's half term this and next week in a lot of areas, so the prices are higher. I think their touring season ends 2/3 November until March.

Its Marton Mere, there is a Martin Mere in Lancashire as well, its on the other side of the Ribble! You can stop in Fleetwood, Blackpool or St Annes between £8 - £10 a night on the aires and nearer to town centres

Tenby Haven a few weeks ago £10 fully serviced hardstanding pitch. Couldnt book online phoned them up no problems.

 

[Imala615]

I use haven all the time and if you pick your dates you can get it for about a tenner,or just over for a hardstanding pitch I get a discount from my ex employer EMB offer and Haven also do a Freedom Trail discount for regular customers. Thornwick Bay (Bridlington) is one of the cheapest ,just done a check and 5th nov for 4 nights comes out at £45.70. you do have to play with dates as half term can put £100 on it and they shut for winter at the end of November.

Most Havens have a bus service that come into the park for the town centres or visiting local towns

Blackpool definitely has a bus from the gate.

Just done 5 nights at Haven Cleethorpes. Cheap enough, but there were lots of ‘travellers‘ on the site.

Made sure everything was locked twice and chained our trailer to the van.

Did Blackpool last week Sunday to Friday is the best deal price , £50 Hardstanding , water, Electric and Drain.
Deals getting harder to come by as its coming up to half term and most close the touring side soon.

Having just had a look at the Haven site, there is nothing in the gloriously leafy South East.

Are there any Haven alternatives ? Butlins pontins etc ??? that do similar

 

[Jo-jo]

We're at Thornwick Bay now. We've paid £21 per night for 3 nights this week.

suavecarve have a look at Parkdean too, can be a bit cheaper than Haven.

Parkdean but I don’t know if they are down that way.

 

[KASPAR]

Haven have 2 sites in Dorset, both near Weymouth, Littlesea and Seaview open March to November.

Parkdean have Sandford near Poole, Warmwell near Weymouth and West Bay with varicous offers available.

We did Parkdean on the Lizard in Cornwall for five nights in September. Can't remember what it cost but it was pretty cheap. About £14 a night or something including hookup. I was glad when we left though on the Friday as the clientele for the weekend at the risk of sounding snobby looked a bit "disruptive".

We have been at Mortehoe / Woolacombe for a month now at Twitchen house. Some of the superior pitches there are £99 a night in summer. We stayed 28 nights and if you are clever with the bookings (Mondays are cheapest) and book a week at a time we got it down to £11 a night one week. Just moved to their site nextdoor which is quieter "Easewell farm" for a week this morning and its about £16 a night I think. I get a discount for being a regular as well.

Look for the larger chain sites. I think they sell them cheap end of season to keep the place busy. I don't like campsites normally but these two are ok. Good facilities. Lovely pool, steam room, sauna, laundrette etc. Even a proper 9 hole golf course.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

We were looking for somewhere to overnight en-route to the MHF Whitby Goth Festival rally and the Haven holiday park at Filey fits the bill perfectly. Just paid the extortionate sum of £11pn and already booked the free swimming sessions for arrival day and next morning.

We're a Parkdean West Bay now.
All of the grass pitches were sodden yesterday.
Everyone got moved onto hard standing.

We’ve used Haven at Perran Sands (Perranporth, Cornwall) a few times, easy access to beach and bus from gates.

 

[L' Hobo]

I'm trying, for the first time, a PARKDEAN site near Burgh Castle, Lowestoft.

It is, if I remember correctly, £44 for 4nts with EHU which is cheap enough BUT, the grass pitches I was offered are muddy and, it's out of the way with no bus service that I can see and other camper.......iffy?

(but today I have been watching the American F1 and investigating a yellow EML that came on yesterday while travelling.
Now extinguished, so will explore more tomorrow!)

So far, not that impressed!

 

[WESTY66]

Last time I went to the Mablethorpe haven site (pre Jasmin camping) it was like a ploughed field, had to take a run to get on the concrete slab (old static bases I think) and nearly had to be towed off! Never again

Orion are you staying at Reighton Sands? If so, try and avoid swimming in the morning, unless you like beach balls and other inflatables (and other peoples' kids). The deep end is 1m so it's really hard to swim a length, I was banging my knees on the floor in the shallow end

We like perran sands. and the grass pitches have re-enforcing on them so no need for a hardstanding pitch but busses can be a bit hit and miss late on in the season

Made sure everything was locked twice and chained our trailer to the van.

there were a couple on last time we were there and they were in vans not caravans ,but have noticed a few on haven sites off season.

 

[Wombles]

For anyone with campervans or smaller motorhomes maybe have a look at the the Low Season (until 31 October) prices in green for quality Dorset campsite Norden Farm (bus from gate) https://nordenfarmcampsite.com/campsite-tariff/ - as low as £12 for one or more people if age 60+ in 5.5m, £15 in 7m, £18 in 8m & £21 in 8.1m+ & that includes EHU & very good facilities! It is all grass but they manage it well & allocate suitable pitches.

Parkdean certainly do similar deals as we’ve used them up here.

No, it’s Blue Dolphin we’re booked at. I know no better but Reighton and Primrose Valley were both fully booked, presumably because they’re more ‘kid friendly’? Not to worry though as I’ll be taking my speargun anyway.
