Lads holidays at Haven?!

Arrived at a Haven site with my kids today and am surprised at the number of seemingly lads holidays happening on the park. 2 caravans immediately next to ours are 2 groups of 3 or 4 men shouting and drinking all afternoon. I can't imagine choosing a kids holiday site for a lads holiday and would find it really embarrassing, am I missing something?! 😂

It's hardly cheap and most the entertainment apart from bingo on the evening is obviously for children, I can't fathom why any group of men would come to Haven of all places for a week away! I'd also find it strange for groups of women too so it's not just a men thing.

As long as they aren't partying loud at 3am then I don't see an issue.
I wouldn't class Haven as a "kids holiday site" - it's just a place anyone can go.
The last Haven I stayed at had a bar/restaurant and a slot machine area that was 18+.

Haven have Haven Hideaways which are definitely aimed at adults and typical Haven sites are generally for families, all you to have to do is look around to see the play areas and characters and kids activities to see that.

Yes as long as the noise doesn't become unbearable they can crack on!

How do they define big groups though? we have a three bed caravan with a double bed and two rooms with two singles. If they don't accept 6 guests then why provide beds for that? I can't imagine they're actually policing anything once you've paid if noone complains

It’s usually single sex groups, without children, they have vans that sleep 6 and vans that sleep 8 which is fine for families.

We always pick hideaway. I have never been into the entertainment side of things and we only really use the van as a base. I don’t think k they are aimed at adults rather than people who don’t want to pay for things their family won’t use.

We owned a caravan on a Haven site- there was no restrictions on who we could lend the caravan too
