haven passes

If you are camping the passes are valid for the duration of your booking. I have camped twice at Haven sites and couldn't believe how cheap it was to camp including passes. The downside is the enterntainment centres themselves which are loud and full of arcade games that you have to walk through to get to the swimming pool.

Heres a little tip.....;)

look up camping site @ your Haven site .....book the cheapest pitch you can find on your dates stating how many persons Adults / children ( basic pitches can start from £25 and it includes the passes in that price.)
The passes are worthwhile but £80 EACH! hmmmm........
Show them the booking paperwork at reception for the camping and they'll give you your passes etc.

The passes usually run from Saturday to Saturday or from Friday to Monday for long weekends.

I would have thought you would be ok for friday during the day but might not be for the evening, we are private owners at Littlesea and on intake days they usually dont check passes during the times people are arriving, ( as people can arrive in the morning and not be able to get their passes until check in at 4pm) ..Have had the occasional 5 day break aswell and people have to choose between the 3/4 day pas or the 7 day..

We have also had guests book a camping pitch and get the passes cheaper, although the hubby did actually want to camp while his wife takes the kids in the van but it saved them quite a lot of money.

I think the passes do change thoughout the season and personally wouldn't want to take the chance of arriving and finding i couldn't use them.. Buying them though Haven is a lot of money but imaging having brought them from e-bay and then having to pay Haven on top..

I am a member of the havenownersforum and there has been discussions about these passes and Haven are aware of what is going on.

I think you need to consider whether you actually want to use the Haven facilities too.

We went to haven at Mablethorpe last year, and the passes were included in the price so we did have a look in, and to be honest it was awful! The food area was over priced and terrible, I think we paid £3 each for a stale tuna sarnie. yuck!

Having said that the caravan was clean and comfortable - and as a base to explore the area it was great. (apart from no shelves in the oven :mad: )
