Haven Camping and Touring in South West England and Wales
Haven's camping and touring park in Cornwall - Perran Sands
Perran Sands in Cornwall has the biggest camping and touring area of all the Haven sites, including a whopping 344 pitches. It's available for motorhomes, tourers (caravans) and trailer tents but it isn't available for tents on their own.
It's in a coastal location about half way along the county next to a dog friendly beach.
The holiday park scores 4/5 on most review sites and has got indoor and outdoor swimming pools as well as a 'lazy river'. There are also dozens of things to do onsite including six places to eat out, six playgrounds, a pottery studio, nature trails, minigolf, trampolines and a surf school so you can fall over repeatedly.

Haven camping and touring parks in Dorset - Littlesea and Seaview
Haven has got four caravan sites in Dorset but only two of them have camping and touring facilities. Both are available for campers, tourers, motorhomes and trailer tents.
They're both in the Weymouth area and are called Littlesea Holiday Park and Seaview Holiday Park. Littlesea has roughly twice as many pitches as Seaview (142 compared to 82 when we checked).
They both score 4/5 from most reviewers and both have indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
The main difference is the location. Littlesea is a half hour walk from Weymouth's Esplanade. It's also close to the coastal path which goes to Chesil Beach. Meanwhile, Seaview camping and touring site is about 15 minutes walk to a beach.

Haven previously had camping and touring at Burnham on Sea but it has been removed from the Haven website, at the time of writing.
Haven camping and touring parks in Wales - Hafan y Môr, Greenacres, Kiln Park and Presthaven
Four of Haven's Welsh holiday parks offer touring - but just one is available for campers (Haven Kiln Park).
Our pick for tourers is Haven Hafan y Môr Touring Park, which has 75 pitches. The resort is one of the largest and best equipped of all the Haven caravan parks. The highlight is the modern and massive indoor swimming pool but it also has a coastal location, nine restaurants, nine playgrounds and an adventure village with things like high ropes. It scores 4/5 on TripAdvisor.

Haven camping and touring in Yorkshire - Thornwick Bay, Primrose Valley, Blue Dolphin and Reighton Sands
In Yorkshire, you've got a choice of four Haven holiday parks that offer touring. Some have loads of camping and touring pitches whilst others just have a small number. Thornwick Bay and Blue Dolphin allows campers with tents but Primrose Valley and Reighton Sands don't.

It currently scores 4/5 on TripAdvisor and is next to a quiet shingly beach. It's got loads of space for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes with 187 pitches. It's also a dog friendly campsite.

Haven's touring in Blackpool - Marton Mere
Marton Mere on the outskirts of Blackpool in Lancashire offers touring. It's got 84 pitches including various upgrade options. You can't stay with just a tent - you either need a motorhome or a touring caravan.

Haven camping and touring in The Lake District/Cumbria - Lakeland
Haven's Lakeland Camping and Touring park has one of the largest areas for tents, touring caravans and motorhomes out of all the Haven resorts. In all, there are 177 pitches including 'tent, electric and Euro electric pitches'.
It isn't technically in the Lake District but is by the Cumbrian coast. The local beach isn't the sort of place you'll be building sandcastles but there are coastal walks.
Onsite there are outdoor and indoor swimming pools as well as golf, tennis, bowling and other sports.
It scores 4/5 from customers on most review sites. It's also a dog friendly camping/touring site.

Haven's camping and touring site in Northumberland - Haggerston Castle
There are two Haven resorts in Northumberland but only Haggerston Castle is open to touring caravans/motorhomes. It isn't open to campers with tents.
The touring area is one of the larger ones with 140 pitches.
The holiday park is also a good size with five places to eat, a simple indoor swimming pool, a golf course, boating lake, aerial adventures and various sports and activities for kids.
It scores 3.5/5 on Trip Advisor at the time of typing, which is a bit behind some Haven touring and camping sites.

Haven's touring site in Scotland - Seton Sands
One of Haven's Scottish holiday parks welcome tourers but not campers with tents.
Seton Sands has about 40 pitches and it gets decent reviews. It's about half an hour from Edinburgh and it has enough onsite for most people including an indoor swimming pool, fishing, archery, golf and soft play.
Craig Tara is one of Haven's larger resorts but it no longer offers camping and touring.

Haven camping and touring in East England
Haven's camping and touring parks in Lincolnshire - Golden Sands, Cleethorpes Beach (previously called Thorpe Park) and Skegness
Two of Haven's Lincolnshire holiday parks have camping and touring - one called Haven Golden Sands Camping and Touring site and another called Haven Cleethorpes Beach Camping and Touring site. This one was previously called Haven Thorpe Park. Rumour has it that someone once turned up looking for Thorpe Park Theme Park, even though it is 180 miles away....
A third Haven resort - Skegness - has touring pitches but doesn't have space for campers with tents.
The two camping and touring parks get similar reviews (3.5/5 on TripAdvisor) and both have a good number of pitches. Golden Sands has 172 pitches whilst Thorpe Park camping and touring site has 120 pitches. They've both got indoor and outdoor swimming pools.
The most notable difference is the location. Golden Sands is by the coast just north of Skegness in Ingoldmells whilst Thorpe Park holiday park is much further north in Cleethorpes (quite near to Grimsby).
A third Haven resort - Skegness - has touring pitches but doesn't have space for people who are camping with tents. It scores 4/5 on TripAdvisor.
