How to keep a caravan cool in the summer
Whether you’re at home in your own space, or on a Haven break in a caravan, we’ve found the best tips and tricks to keep your space cool this summer!
With 38 welcoming, family-friendly holiday parks dotted along the coast in England, Scotland and Wales, you're never far away from a Haven break. Choose from a range of comfortable accommodation, from roomy caravans to luxury lodges and even beach houses at some parks.
And with swimming pools, entertainment, activities and food and drink all here on park, booking a Haven break makes for a stress-free summer. Budget-friendly breaks start from £49 for three nights, and there's no worrying about passports or flight schedules.
We know that families come in all shapes and sizes, which is why you'll find plenty to do for tots, kids, teens, grown-ups (and even dogs!) across our parks. Our accommodation is designed to give everyone space to stretch out, with dog-friendly options available too.
For younger guests, our much-loved Seaside Squad have been entertaining families for over 30 years. Join in with the Tiger Club dance, enjoy a show and dance along at the disco. And when they're ready for some action, there's NERF Training Camp (ages 6+); Football Fun Factory (ages 2-12) and Activitots/Activikids sessions for under-10s. You'll also find exciting, free outdoor play areas at every park too.
And everyone will enjoy a dip in our heated indoor pools - there's one at every park, and some even have additional outdoor pools, lazy rivers, flumes or water parks.
From the iconic Cornwall and Devon coast, up to North Wales, Yorkshire, the Lake District and scenic Scotland: all Haven parks are close to the coast, making them perfect for exploring a new region without any of the stress of a trip abroad.
Two of our largest parks, Hafan y Mor in North Wales and Craig Tara in Scotland, are home to large indoor water parks for heaps of splashtastic fun. Over on the east coast, Cleethorpes Beach, Golden Sands and Skegness are packed with activities and close to some of Lincolnshire's best towns. And our Norfolk parks make the most of Great Yarmouth's sandy beaches and beachfront attractions.
If you like the idea of a quirky place to stay, book a pod at Rockley Park in Dorset, a deck house at Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk, a cottage at Lydstep Beach in South Wales, a beach house or geo dome at Perran Sands in Cornwall: they'll all make for a memorable trip!
From Cornwall to Scotland, choose from 38 holiday parks on the Great British coastline - all with heated indoor pools and free outdoor play included.
Seaside Squad shows, NERF Training Camp, Football Fun Factory, Splashaway Bay and more - something for every age, every day of your summer break.
