People who have been to Haven holiday parks - how are the caravans arranged? I'm confused...!

We are going to a Haven park tomorrow, our first holiday for a long time thanks to a charity scheme (I have a disabled DC). I've never been to a holiday park in my life so have no idea what to expect!

Haven have allocated our caravan today and I've found it on the site map. I searched for images of the exact section of the park (DC likes to know this stuff in advance!) but all I found was a few TripAdvisor reviews from people who had stayed in the same section.

So the section is called eg Willow Drive and has 10 caravans on it numbered 1-10. We are number 3. I've found reviews from people who stayed at numbers 1, 5, and 8 Willow Drive earlier this summer, who all said they had a Deluxe+ caravan with decking etc but we've only booked a Saver as that's what the voucher covered and I couldn't afford to add any extras. So is there some mistake? Or are the fancy and basic caravans all mixed up? I assumed they were in separate areas but maybe not?

Ask at the site and they will give you maps. One site arranged once for a map of every haven site to be posted to Ds once

No waaaaayyyy 🤯 That's so lovely!

like army cadets in rows. What I find really annoying and have even complained about it caravans in a row go my front door facing onto their their side of caravan with no door - their caravan door faces next caravan no door side et etc WHY do they park their car at the back of their caravan so I come out of my door and wham there’s their car!!!!! Park it where your caravan door is facing in that green space not in mine

proper pisses me off

If you post on the FB group 'Haven Holidays' there are loads of Haven regulars on there who might have more info.

I think the gradings of the caravans might have been changed this year which has caused some confusion. If you ask on the group someone might be staying at the site & willing to go and take a photo of it for you.

Just finished packing the car and now to try and get some over excited children to bed...

I joined that group last night and OMG all anyone is talking about is the giant characters being renamed? 🤣

Oh my god yes!! It's SUCH a weird group, there are people are obsessed with Haven. The standard of punctuation and grammar on there is pretty awful too.
I joined it out of vague curiosity a couple of years ago when we had a haven holiday booked but I've stayed just to lurk on the bizarre posts and strange arguments, it's like another world!
