Haven’s highest-rated holiday park is right by the beach with NERF training camp and new indoor swimming pool

THERE are more than 38 Haven holiday parks in the UK, which means it can be a struggling choosing between breaks.

However, Haven’s Hopton Holiday Park in Norfolk is routinely named the best Haven site in the country by visitors.

One person wrote: “One of the best Haven parks in the country”.

A second person added: “We’ve just got home from Hopton, and after holidaying in 12 other Haven sites, we have to say Hopton is one of the very best”.

While a third person wrote: “Absolutely the best Haven site that we have visited, we come back most years and love it”.

The Hopton Holiday Park has direct access to its beach, which is one of its more well-loved features.

But as the weather worsens, the main indoor attraction is its indoor water complex.

There are two indoor pools at the holiday park, with one opening earlier this year and the other featuring a slide.

The arcades are another indoor activity, giving the beachfront holiday park a truly seaside feel.

From skill games with tickets to redeem for fab prizes, to Virtual Reality games and of course, those much-loved 2p machines, there’s a little something for everyone.

If you don’t mind the outdoors, there’s also the mini aerial adventure where younger guests can swing and leap one metre off the ground on a harnessed course.

There’s also a nine-hole golf course, an adventure golf course, a NERF Training Camp and a climbing wall.

Guests can also book onto archery lessons, with an outdoor inflatable arena set to reopen in March when the weather starts to warm.

On-site food choices include a family restaurant, Cook’s Fish & Chips, Bertie’s Ice Cream, A papa Johns and a mini market.

If you fancy going off-site, then it is a short drive away from Pettitts Animal Adventure Park, Pleasurewood Hills Theme Park and the Norfolk Broads.

Hopton is one of the very best

Overnight guests can book to stay in either a caravan or a holiday lodge, with four-night caravan stays from £49.

Haven’s Hopton Holiday Park is a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Birmingham and it’s a two-hour drive from Cambridge.

One mum tried out the Haven park that recently welcomed footballer Harry Macguire.

She said: “Like most other Brits, I was surprised to hear that a well-paid footie star stayed at a Haven holiday park.

“But the caravan was definitely celeb-worthy. There was a huge marble kitchen with all the mod cons, as well as a matching bathroom and en-suite.

“With hipster lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows and a 40-inch TV, it was nothing like the caravans of my childhood.”

What is it like to stay at a Haven park?

The Sun’s Dave Courtnadge recently visited a celeb-loved Haven park.

Haven’s Allhallows, set on the Kent Coast, is popular with celebs including Stacey Soloman.

Like the former Loose Women star, we had booked a gold caravan with a view over the on-site lake and the Thames Estuary, with Southend on the distant horizon.

The roomy living area had two double sofas with wide doors that opened on to a veranda complete with table and chairs for al fresco dining.

Back indoors, the kitchen was fully kitted out with a large oven, dishwasher, microwave and even a washing machine.

The kids charged into their room to fight over who would have which bed, while we took in our master bedroom, which featured an en suite and a walk-in wardrobe.

We used the revamped pool every day of our stay and it was lovely to watch the kids improve their swimming technique.

Then on top of all that there are arcades, fairground stalls, a climbing wall, fishing lake and a NERF Training Camp in an inflatable arena

Here’s everything you need to know about Haven’s new “ultimate family break packages“.
