Parkdean campsites

[Smartiepants79]

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge.
We have rented a van on a Parkdean site next week but it has not been booked through Parkdean. The van is privately owned and rented through a third party.
I have realised that this doesn’t come with access passes for the pool etc.
Does anyone know if I can just pay separately for this? Pay to use the Parkdean facilities whilst on site?
Thanks

You can buy entertainment passes from Reception. This allows you to use the pool and the showbar. Depending on the site there might be additional activities which you pay for separately. If there is a children’s play area no passes are needed for that.

Last time I went you had to book swimming slots and they booked up fast.

I think you'll need to queue to book your time for the pool. Usually at 8am to be sure you'll get a time

Yes you pay for the passes and you book on the app.

Thanks everyone.
We stayed on a Parkdean site 2 years ago and didn’t have trouble getting in the pool but I’m a bit surprised they’re still making you book. That’s a bit annoying.
Glad I can pay for the passes though!

We are just back from a Parkdean and booking the pool daily was a real annoyance. I'd be there at 8am and still only manage to get a grim slot like 5pm.

I think I'd book direct another time as you seem to be able to book slots in advance of the day itself if so.

But yes, you could buy an entertainment pass no problem.

If you book via Parkdean you get access to book activity slots 6 weeks in advance which is why there's not much availability left.

Not in all of them.
