Hello!

Looking for a cheap weekend getaway in May/June and are looking to get a 3 bed caravan to cram a couple of families into. There’s so much choice with all the parks! Are all the park owners (such as those in my title) much of a much or are there certain providers that should be avoided at all costs/some that are much nicer?

Musts are an indoor pool (and hopefully outdoor) and evening entertainment for the kids. Looking for something in southern England. Thanks for any guidance!

Pontins = horrific. Butlins however is mega. Great indoor pools. Nice one at Minehead and one at Bognor Regis I haven't been to. Havens and Park Deans are usually nice but they don't have as much free stuff or as good pools as Butlins.

Hobourne sadly only does caravans up to 6 people and won’t allow a 7th in a travel cot.

Has anyone been to Haven in Bognor Regis?

I wouldn't go to pontins if you paid me to go;the Parks need bulldozing.

Away resorts is nice as is the haulfryn group.

Parkdean Sandford is nice, and well located for the Isle of Purbeck - Corfe, Swanage etc.
