Haven Holidays, Thorpe Park

Clean and well equipped caravan, comfortable beds. A couple of issues with the restaurant but dealt with immediately, nothing too much trouble. Plenty for the whole family to keep them entertained. Staff polite and friendly, evening entertainment good only marred by drunk guests, not the parks fault. Highly recommended

Booked holiday in October for myself 2 daughters and a baby. When we arrived a key was suppose to be left to get in, which it wasn't. The doors for the bathroom and one bed room was very hard to open. Other problems had were mattresses had no padding, sofas in the living room had stain on them and dead spiders. Also the walls in one corner was black when I moved the cushions.

Other than that cleethorpes is a nice place to visit

asked for a brochure never sent one, noisy neighbours 1.30 in the morning couldn't get back to sleep grandaughters upset,we went home following morning, couldn't ring security no signal, holiday spoiled, owner just gave me back security bond no refund, and Haven said nothing to do with them how disgusting, I've always been to Haven parks, I'll never return here again, just b, carefull when u book

I have recently come home from a 5day stay at Thorpe park. I found the site to be very clean {one of the cleanest}, also the staff where very helpful, apart from the young girl who was with the bikes,{i am here what more do you want attitude}. The accommodation was tidy and well maintained to a high standard.The gentleman on the tiger train also very helpful and courteous.Would i return again, well maybe one day.

We have had mixed experiences with Haven in the park, we love Rockley Park, Golden Sands and Wild Duck but the Orchards at Clacton was appaling. This was our first trip to Thorpe Park and I have to say Thorpe Park is fantastic the best Haven we have been to yet and it has replaced Golden Sands as our favourite.

The park was very large but at no point did it ever feel crowded or busy. There was loads to do far more than we have ever seen at every other park and a lot of it was free and what was not free was certainly offering good value for money. The food etc also had a good variety of outlets on offer and was reasonably priced. It was very well maintained and extremely clean, the beach is literally on the park and was a lovely clean and sandy beach which the children absolutely loved. The pool was large and very clean, with a childrens water slide, with a lazy river and several more whit knuckle water slides outside.

The touring area itself was fantastic lots of water points and power to every pitch that I spotted, plenty of shower blocks which were always spotless throughout our stay (which is something coming from a man who has a thing about shared showers). We were allowed to drive around and pick our own pitch and the pitches themselves were extremely spacious and with tarmac tracks around the campsite.

There are two shops on site which although fairly small were very well stocked at not massively over priced, and the largest Tesco I have ever seen in my life is just two minutes down the road.

But what really made the holiday for us was the staff. Every single person and I mean everyone from the touring warden to the life guards at the pool the guy in the bike hire shop the fun stars and the security literally all of the staff were fantastic really top notch and they really made our holiday particularly the children's. One thing that really stood out for me was we did have one minor issue not anyones fault but the staff bent over backwards to sort it out and it was resolved within a matter of minutes. The other thing was the fact that the security at night on the door asked my children which adults they were with before they let them leave the funworks. That to me was absolutely fantastic as it meant that we were confident to let the children have some freedom in the complex which we all enjoyed.

We will be returning to this park again later in the season if you are going to Haven for the first time try this park you certainly will not be disappointed.

Top Notch

On checking out of our accomodation on the 26th March, we stupidly left our camcorder in 62 Park Avenue, a caravan based on the site.

This camcorder has all our families footage with it on minidiscs within the original packaging and we have no backup.

This includes 4 years of our children, and our son being in intensive care when he was born last April, footage which is irreplaceable. We dont care about the camera, we just need these discs back. We are offering a £100 reward for any information which leads to the return of these discs, if you know of anything, please get in touch.

my nanan and grandad used to own a caravan we used to go there every yea with them where as they went a fortnight. the reason why they left is because they had big tractors that went straight through the caravans and was flooded and left big thick sploges of mud and i was disgusted i do not like the siye at all i thought at the start that it was a great place to be i would of like to of know that if was nice before they purchased the caravan. also when they wanted to leave the site because it was an old caravan well thats what they say but it was quite new trhey only was given back a penny witch is stupid they had massive meetings about the site and every one hated the mud and you know what i made a poem and it gos like this

We stayed on palm springs beautiful area close to complex and beach. we loved every minute of it and the nite time entertainment was absolutly brilliant especially funstar kevin and carl they made our holiday. defo will be returnin next year and we cant wait. plenty of activities like water walkers rock climbin and the outdoor water slide my kids loved goin down that. the only problem we had was last year when we was there we requsted the same caravan and didnt get it we got the same area but would of preffered a beach front caravan.

Haven Thorpe Park...We stayed on Palm springs which was the exclusive standard of accommodation. We wouldn't normally go for that hight standard of caravan but we booked on the day we went away and so had a very good offer! What a fantastic caravan - we were thrilled to have our caravan only a few yards from the clean sandy beach! In a morning waking up to that view made our holiday! The site was clean. Our only disappointment was that the entertainment suitable for adults didn't start until 10pm ish, our children are 8 and 12 and so they didn't want to join in with the character dancing etc. We found the Aqua bar pub to be comfy though to sit in at night! For younger children I imagine they'd love the entertainment! Not much around locally but we got just what we wanted from the break - a rest and quality time with our boys! Thanks!

I have just returned from a 3 night holiday at Thorpe Park with my partner and 5 month old baby boy. I have to say the whole holiday was excellent. The Prestige caravan we had was spotless and the bed was comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The indoor swimming pool was lovely and warm and clean. The food from the Aqua Bar was tasty. Cleethorpes sea front was gorgeous complete with donkey rides. You must try the Beach Front Reastaurant on the promenade, absolutely delicious, as well as the £3.49 carvary from the Trawler Man pub near the roundabout at the entrance to Haven. Nice chip shop opposite this pub too. Please go and give Thorpe Park a try I loved it and ignore all the other grumpy reviews that nearly put me off, find out for yourself.
