We have just got bk from the sight it was really good, the caravan was clean, we ate on sight and it was ok apart from the staff being run off there feet. We had Sunday carvery it wasn't worth the money so don't bother with that. And if you want a seat at the club get early as fills up fast. Over all the kids enjoyed it and we ate going to book again :-)

I stayed at Cala Gran last July with 3 young children (they were then 7 years and 8 month twins) and we had a lovely time!
I read all the review sites before we booked and since a lot of complaints seemed to be about the state of the Haven owned caravans we booked a private caravan and it was absolutely fantastic - caravans have certainly improved since I was little, very spacious, good facilities and most important of all clean! (I would highly recommend using the caravan owned by Joanne and Marc Barber on rentaholidaycaravan.com site)!

The park itself was ok, clean and peaceful, its not a place Id recommend for those with older children but for the under 10s its brilliant, my eldest thoroughly enjoyed all the kids clubs and shows, the swimming pool is a little on the small side and has 1 slide but again its brilliant for the smaller 1s.
An added bonus is that Farmer Parrs is near enough opposite the park.
The facilities on the site were ok though it got little wearing that you had to walk through the pub and arcade to get to anything. The onsite shop was ok, full of the usual holiday tat but had all the essentials there too and the laundarette was clean with fast machines.
We are just in the process of booking our next holiday there!

We've just returned from Cala Gran, got it at a bargain price of £139 for 4 adults and 2 kids, luxury 8berth caravan. The park is much smaller than we expected, but is only 6 miles from Blackpool, easy to get to by car, and the bus stop is right outside the park. Our caravan was lovely, very modern, great size and was spotlessly clean. I have to admit I was worried about what to expect after reading some reviews, but i can honestly say we were very pleased with our accomodation. The park itself doesnt have a lot of facilities. The entertainment is quite poor, only a few staff doing the shows each night, but my 5 year old loved the singing and dancing. There is a short bingo game each evening, and the arcade is good for teenagers. There is a small softplay area in the pub, and the pool is really small too.Luckily it wasnt main holiday season, as I think you'd struggle to get into the pool or get a seat in the club if it was much busier. All in all it was a good base to be close to Blackpool, we were happy with our caravan, but I dont think I'd want to spend more than what we paid!

We have just returned from a 7 night stay at Cala Gran and the whole family enjoyed it. We were due to check in at 4pm but the evening before we got a phone call to say we could check in anytime after 11 as our caravan was ready, this suited us perfectly as we had 3 young children with us and could get them settled for an afternoon nap. Blackpool is very easy to get to from the park as there is a bus right outside the gates and its £8 for a family day ticket, this is great value as parking in Blackpool is expensive. We found the staff very friendly and helpful and our caravan was nice and clean. The kids really enjoyed the entertainment in the showbar and the pool activities. The only negative we had was that we signed up for family archery and when we got there the instructor was useless and uninterested in showing us anything, there were no safety equipment or a children's sized bow, my 7 year old found it difficult to use the adult sized one and my husband's arm is all bruised from no padding being provided. We complained to the sports manager who couldn't apologise enough and provided us with a day of free family sports to make up for it as they do have safety equipment and children's bows, just seemed like the instructor couldn't be bothered getting the ready. The park can be expensive there is always something being sold in the showbar and the kids just have to have it, glowing things, photographs etc. Overall we enjoyed our time at Cala Gran and would recommend people to try it for themselves and make up their own mind about it.

Hi, just returned from a monday to friday break at cala gran park, first impressions on arrival were great, clean, tidy, well kept!!! although quite a small park myself & family had a great time. Pool small but cause the weather was good the splash zone was on, funstars worked very hard to entertain all & did a brilliant job! my daughter as all ready asked to go back, so will be returning to cala gran.

we have just returned from a 3 night weekend break at cala gran. the park itself was absolutely fine and myself and family did have a really good time there. However, i was disappointed on arrival in our caravan - which was an upgrade, to find a kitchen floor which obviously hadnt been swept because it was covered in crumbs and bits, the carpet had loads of stains on it and lots of bits on it too.....but the worst problem was the state of the bathroom - it absolutely stunk of stale urine, so before I could unpack i found myself cleaning the bathroom floor to try and get rid of the smell. The caravan cleaners hadn't really done anything other than make the beds (which was good as this normally doesnt get done)and wipe around the kitchen surfaces obviously scooting all the bits onto the floor.

My other issue was coat hangers, we had 8 hangers in our caravans - however 6 of them were childrens hangers and were miles too small for adults clothing - obviously left by other guests, next time I shall provide my own.

The weather was good whilst we were there but the caravan was still freezing at night, there is only one gas fire in the lounge area, so no heat in the bedroom - so if you are going to stay in the haven caravan parks i would recommend taking a little heater with you.

Enough moaning, the club is really nice as is the arcade and the swimming pool and generally, we had a lovely time and we shall still continue with our haven holiday breaks - next time armed with my cleaning supplies!!!!

We have just returned from a 7 day holiday - we actually booked mon to fri for £115 and Fri to Mon for £164 - total £280 - to book as a mon to Mon was £480!?!?

When we got there the caravan was quite small but we had been upgraded to a 2010 model caravan so was very clean.

STAFF - very nice and Fun Stars were the best I have seen, very good with the children.

ATTRACTIONS - Farmer Parrs farm within walking distance which is £15 for a family ticket 2 ad & 2 chd tickets - nice morning/afternoon out.

Blackpook front & zoo & fleetwood are close by and nice for younger children.

VENUE - The tables are a bit naff - they are literally a standard table chopped in half with the same amouunt of chairs which my kids nearly knocked over on a regular basis - also - becuse the ratio or chairs to tables is so high most routes to bars/toilets get blocked quicky and therefore a tour of the whole showbar is needed to get anywhere.

SECURITY - I was a bit disappointed by this as the park is totally open and has no security guard/barrier - therefore anybody can walk/drive around the park - which is quite worrying with little ones (some adults let their children play in the park un-supervised which I wouldnt do anyway but even if I did the lack of security would put me off from doing so).

Apart from that I would highly recommend this park.

I've just returned from spending Easter Week at Cala Gran in Fleetwood. We had a lovely time and would certainly return to the park again. Like all our Haven experiences, you get what you pay for and we knew it would be basic accommodation. However we were pleasantly surprised by our caravan, which was a 3 bedroom standard plus (46 Wyre Court on the complex). It had new carpet throughout, tv with freeview, was spotless and large enough to accommodate the 3 adults and 2 kids easily. The only niggles we had were that the toilet seat was broken (fixed within an hour of calling reception) and when we woke up to find the gas had run out, it took 3 hours for them to replace it, despite having told us we were second on the list. The bedroom heaters also aren't up to much. I tried leaving them on all night but they started to make a buzzing sound and woke me up. However the gas fire in the living room was very good and warmed the caravan up nicely.
Another downside was that the kitchen wasn't very well equipped. We had two saucepans, one with broken handle, and no utensils to cook with, i.e not even a serving spoon. I think Haven expect their guests to eat in the Mash and Barrel everynight. The oven was tempermental too, but I've found that to be the same in most caravans and presume it's to do with the gas supply.

Our caravan was situated very close to the main amenities but we weren't bothered by noise at all, except for the pumped up music coming from passing chavs cars on an evening. We were also just a few yards from the 'nature reserve' which is advertised as one of the park attractions on Havens site. We wondered why the staff laughed at us when we asked for directions to the nature reserve. We soon found out when we located it. It is literally no bigger than 10 metres by 4 metres and contains a few trees and some bird boxes. The information signs rather optimistically tells you to look out for badgers but we never saw any lol.


The park is small by Haven standards which we liked. The kids enjoyed playing on the mini golf (£3.50) and also on the free playground. The swimming pool is small but has a slide and they went several times. We spent most evenings sat in the Mash and Barrell as we preferred that to the noisier show bar. It does tend to have football on the big screens all the time though.

The park is about 8 miles from Blackpool. There is a bus stop opposite the park and the number 14 bus will take you there. There is also a Morrissons and an Asda very close by. The onsite Spar shop is rubbish really and mostly just contains Haven memorobilia.

On the whole we had a great holiday. The staff were all very friendly, especially the bar staff in the Mash and Barrell. On our last night we managed to 'lose' the little boy in our party. Much panic ensued for ten minutes. The security staff were on the ball and sprung into action straightaway. Of course we discovered the little monkey parked in front of the big screen tv watching the ManUtd match, but we felt very grateful to the prompt reaction of the staff. You can't get into the main complex without showing your pass either, which made us feel safer with the kids.

Just back from cala gran 25th - 28th sept 2009. The whole family enjoyed it. The caravan could have been a little cleaner but other than that the kids loved it. The pool isnt ideal for small children but if you go at a quieter time its fine. We would definitely go back next year for a short break.

myself and partner spent friday to monday 18-23 september in a superior plus caravan for £99 at Cala Gran. Got no transport so got to blackpool by coach, caught no 14 bus to Haven caravan site (took about 25 mins).Really easy to find and bus stops outside gates for blackpool or fleetwood the other side of road. Caravan was brill, nice n clean, 3 bedrooms, shower was the best ever out of any caravan we have used, Full size cooker, fridge, freezer and microwave, combi boiler and centrall heating in every room. Very glad we didnt stay in hotel at blackpool.
Complex had arcade, swimming pool, sports bar, family bar, snack bar, putting or mini golf, footy pitch, small kids play area. All the kids there seemed to be having a good time ??? But mine all grown up so didnt really have to consider that !!!
Only moan we got was the handing out of keys at 4 oclock when everone checking in gathered in entertainment room and had to line up with raffle tickets 50 at a time , did not take that long though, swimming pool quite small and complex not as big as advertised, think we were expecting butlins size at skeggy.(OH and a man moan remote didnt work for tv) We had a brill time n any way we only paid 99 quid , how can anyone moan at that !!!! we would go back

We(3 of us, myself, husband and baby) have just come back from a stay at the cala gran haven site, we stayed in a prestige caravan which was lovely and spacious, very clean and tidy. We enjoyed the show of Bradley bear on the night time, my four month old baby was loving it! The only thing we did not like was the pool, to small and overcrowded to take our baby to. We ventured into fleetwood which we really enjoyed (small fishing town) , lots of character! Would definitely recommend this site to friends

We went to Haven Cala Gran for 4 nights from the 10th to the 15th August. It was judt myself and my 2 girls, aged 11 and 4 who went, and we had a fab time. there is room for improvement, the soft play area is just a slide and the park has nothing in it, but i thought all in all it was value for money. Our caravan was one of the basic ones, and a little old but it was inhabitable. you get what you pay for. we are due to go back in October in a superior plus caravan, so hopefully it'll be much better. Oh, avoid the on site chip shop, its really vile!!!!

Went to Cala Gran 13-20 July. Had brill time. Kids Loved the clubs. The funstars were brilliant.Really easy to get to Blackpool as bus at gates and every 10 mins or so.The caravan would need redecorating but found clean enough.Had that good time rebooked for next year and bringing 2 other families with me. I read bad reviews before left and was bit dubious but was brill.

Haven Holidays were very helpful and saved me from a bad holiday camp.
