Hi

Just looking at maybe booking here for Oct Half Term. Anyone been? If so, what is it like? We would be staying in one of their statics.

Thanks

Its a haven site! so it depends what your looking for - have been twice with kids they loved it. entertainment onsite was great as we could all go and we could have a drink while kids enjoyed show and disco. Access to blackpool / fleetwood by tram or by bus which stops outside site isn't that much hassle really. If your looking for four star luxury  don't bother but we would go again if there weren't so many other places to explore instead.

Hi, Its Busy, cramped, expensive, quite a way out of Blackpool and is overlooked by the chemical factory, other than that its OK.

Went there a few years ago as it was cheaper than staying in a camp nearer to Blackpool. Not much round there, the tram runs from Fleetwood to Blackpool and is a bit of a bone shaker.

We didn't spend much time in the camp, travelled out and about everyday. The static was good though.

took my 2 youngest for october half term 3 years ago the electric kept tripping you could'nt park next to van but the van was cleaner when we left

Now i am normally very up for Haven sites as we have 2 children and basically they really enjoy themselves,but i wouldnt go to Cala Gran.

The reasons are that the sewage farm is just a stones throw away and it really does smell.

There is a massive fishy smell around the area and im not sure but i think there is a landfill site nearby .This alltogether makes for a right bad smell especially in summer.

Go and book somewhere else!! Marton Mere isnt that far away.
