I know not many people like the Haven sites but my kids love them, I want to know if any of the ons in Lancashire are good for the touring caravan.  I only got my van at the end of last year so don't want to go to far.

I found Marton Mere but you can try the camp site search button at top of page         

We enjoyed cala gran but as you say for some reason not all enjoy haven. weve also used haven sites in north wales (Hafan y mor)and Lakeland in lake district and have enjoyed these too.  these are alsonot too far away from you.

I have also visited the Blackpool site while the illuminations were on with the grandchildren. I have always found haven sites excellent for providing activities for children although cleanliness in toilet and shower blocks do not always seem to be of a high standard. The grandchildren love these sites.

OK as you say most on here dont like Haven and thats that but i do so , Marton Mere is a nice site .Theres some nice walks around the mere the site is a good one the toilet and shower blocks are nice and clean and as long as you know that Haven like to extract as much money as they can during your stay and you can get your kids head round that then all the Haven sites for tourers ar good.

My only negative about this site is that the caravans are a little to clse together compared to other sites that we have visited ,for weekends its great a full week maybe not!!

Hope this helps

I wouldn't consider a Haven site in high season. But, I use Marton Mere often out of season.

A good example is that in March this year there are 10 families going together. All hardstanding superpitches for a mere £10.50 per unit per night.

That includes entertainment for adults/kids. Better than a CL in my view !

Personally, I think it's a case of "horses for courses".  When I take my 10 year old grandson, I generally look for somewhere like Haven or Park Resorts where I can be sure of plenty for him to do.  On the other hand, when just my husband and I go alone, we look for a quiet site, preferably with fishing.

Haven't been to any of the Northern sites but we have had good holidays at Burnham on Sea and Doniford Bay.  Maybe you could look for a good deal for a weekend only and try them out?
