It's a great experience and lots of fun that your kids will love.

i've heard it is worth going to whitby just for the fish and chips, pisses all over southports extortionately priced effort.

Extortionately overpriced? I have no idea what you mean.

The parks are smaller than Haven and the facilities aren't quite as good as Haven but we prefer them as they aren't as busy. We have been to Haven at Cleethorpes as well which had great facilities but it just felt a bit big and busy for us.

The campsite Lady's Mile is fantastic for kids as they have an indoor and outdoor pool plus a pub with cabaret and activities for kids.

It is also a 5-10 min walk to Dawlish Warren where there are a couple of pubs that serve good food and have a bit of a fun fair for the kids plus there is the beach there, also about the same to get into Dawlish as well.

You would get a static caravan you could hire for about the same price you are looking at for a week, there is also a sainsbury's that is a 2 min drive in the car where you could keep costs down and use the facilities the static has.

Scarborough, Filey, Brid, Whitby and Skeggy.

Very true.

You have to make sure that the missus has a huge handbag to smuggle all the alcohol into the clubhouse at night.

Great when the weather is fine SK but the east coast can be bloody freezing when the wind is blowing.

Biggest downside, not even a phone signal, let alone one for getting online.
