You can also book activities at the Activity Booking Point on park during your stay, subject to availability. If you want to book activities for your arrival day, please make sure bookings are made for after your arrival time or they may be cancelled. You can book your arrival day activities on haven.com/experience 7 days before your arrival date.

Arriving late: please let us know on haven.com/experience when you get your allocated arrival time. We will then know to expect you later.
Arcade
The bright lights and excitement of our arcade awaits for all guests to enjoy. Our machines take cash so pick out all the loose change from behind the sofa before coming! Don’t worry if you don’t have spare pennies, we have machines to change money for you, so you’ll soon be playing.
Barbecues
Get your sizzle on in safety. Please keep barbecues away from holiday homes, verandas and the external gas bottles. They must also be elevated and please use a non-disposable barbecue. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.
Bars and restaurants
We have three venues for wining or dining: our Mash and Barrel and Harbourside restaurants, and the Live Lounge entertainment venue – all in the main complex. You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven app or via haven.com/experience, 12 weeks before your holiday or by visiting the restaurant once on park. There will be no table bookings in entertainment venues and tables will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Boats and Jet Skis
If you’ve brought along your own boat or jet skis, you’ll want to store them somewhere secure; please contact our boat park on 01202 665001. For the safety of your property, we don’t allow you to keep boats and jet skis under your caravan.
Buses
You can catch a bus into Poole town from the bus stop, opposite Reception. If you need any information on local bus routes, please see the Reception team.
Car parking
Our grassy areas are important to us. Please avoid parking on them and use the dedicated space next to, or near your holiday accommodation. Please also be considerate of your neighbours too. We have Blue Badge spaces in the main complex for those who need them.
Cash machines
Our cash machines are in the main complex area and the Mini Market. Cashback is available in the Mini Market and all bar areas (minimum spend applies).

We’re fond of dogs on park and most breeds are welcome, just keep them on a lead at all times. Guide and service dogs are welcome inside our venues. All dogs are welcome on the Mash and Barrel terrace (except next to the children's play area and the upstairs sun terrace). We have bins around the park for cleaning up after your pet

We’re strict about speed on park. Please stick to 10mph when you’re driving around.

They can discuss the suitability of the park. If you have any questions while on the park, please ask the Reception team.
Swimming
We know that swimming is one of our most popular activities, so we have done everything we can to ensure as many of our guests get a chance to swim as possible.
For indoor swimming, you can book slots before and during your stay. From four weeks before your break start date, you'll be able to pre-book up to 14 swim slots per holiday booking. You'll also be able to book more slots once you arrive on park, should capacity allow.
Each swim slot lasts for 60 minutes and can be booked on the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience. We're able to hold swim slots for up to 15 minutes, however if you fail to show after this time, the swim slot will be cancelled and given to another guest.
Takeaway
f you can’t have a takeaway on holiday, when can you? We have a Cook’s Fish and Chips and Papa John’s® on our park, just waiting for you to enjoy. Papa John’s® will also deliver directly to your accommodation if required. Whether you’re ordering for collection, delivery or to eat in, all takeaway orders can be made via My Haven app or haven.com/experience.
Terrain of the park
Purbeck View, Arne View, Sunset View, Parts of Orchard Bank and Central Park are flat and are suitable for wheelchairs. The rest of the park has parts where it is hilly, although most areas on the park are flat, there may be a hill on entry to that area.

Tide times are available from Reception and the boat park; get surf-savvy and stay safe in the sea. Search for the ‘My Tide Times’ app to get live, local updates.

If you’re looking to explore the area, find a cracking local restaurant, or discover a nearby hidden gem, our Reception team can offer tips, advice, and recommendations. We have loads of tourist leaflets at Reception, too.
Towels
Own up, who forgot to pack the towels? It’s okay, we provide towels (1 hand and 1 bath towel per person) in our Lodge and Silver, Gold and Signature grade accommodation or you can hire some from Reception for a small charge and deposit.
Upgrades
You will need to arrange any upgrade prior to receiving your arrival time. Please contact the park and they will be happy to discuss upgrade options with you.
Visitors
To maximise the opportunity for guests to access the swimming pools, activities, entertainment venue and restaurants included in their holiday package, all holidaymakers visiting our parks must be included on a valid holiday booking. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity on our parks to allow our guests to bring visitors to our parks.

Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in our main complex. The My Haven app works on Wifi and 4G, however if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point.
