Book now, as August gets very full. If you go onto their website they will have any offers but in August it would be doubtful.

I have used Haven on many occasions and it a good holiday but expensive for all aspects. Drinks are pricey, the supermarket is exhorbitant and the accommodation in August will be about £600-700 per week.

Good luck, have a great holiday.

Have a look here, this is a request for 12th august at Cala Gran (near Blackpool), for 2 adults and 4 and 1 year old. It really depends on the level of accommodation you want, how much you pay. Prices range for £470 to £320 for 4 nights.

To be honest you would probably find a better deal hiring from the owner directly, we own a caravan at Caister,Norfolk and we always aim to charge a lot less than Haven - bonus also being you know what accommodation you are getting

Totally agree with the above poster. Do you have a park preference?

Have you looked at what owners want to rent their private caravans in August !!
Most want as much as Haven charge ( but you may get slightly better accomadation for your money). Be aware of ones that don't include the expensive passes too. I can't see any splitting weeks in August

I would wait until last minute. Last year i saved over £200 in early August by waiting untill they discounted the holidays (it was £330 for a week in silver apartments at Hafan-y-mor).
If you need a specific park or are not flexible on standard of accomadation then you are going to have to pay the scandalous prices they are wanting now. But there is no way i would pay that much - its a total rip off.. As others have stated food and drink is expensive on the sites and they use every opportunity to try and extract more cash from you . For example - fancy kids drink containers that change every night - so the kids want a new one every day. Temporary tattoo stands and toy stands in the clubs in the evening.

Have to agree with above poster. Haven do rip you off. We own a caravan on two of their sites and are annoyed at the prices they charge holidaymakers. Always best to go for private owners however as their standards of cleaning and maintenance amongst other things are better by far. Not many owners offer short lets in main season though and entertainment passes cost up to £95 per family extra if not included in the price.
