Parkdean Resorts or Haven holidays?

Both Parkdean Resorts and Haven offer fantastic UK holiday parks, but typically during peak times I’ve noticed that Parkdean Resorts can be more budget-friendly. Parkdean also have far more hot tub holiday options if you’re after a bit of luxury. On the flip side, Haven sometimes have larger entertainment and pool complexes depending on which site you opt for. But, having said that, the bigger Parkdean Resorts sites definitely offer a similar set-up. Both brands have coastal and countryside locations dotted all over the UK so there are loads of great options for family-friendly UK staycations with the kids.
