If you’ve never been to Haven Doniford Bay, the first thing to know is that it isn’t a huge, sprawling site. It’s not too big and not too quiet, and you can walk from one side to the other in a few minutes. Here’s a quick walk round, so you know what’s waiting for you when you arrive at our caravan.
The views first
The park sits right on the West Somerset coast, so the sea is never far away. Up by the view point there’s a telescope looking out over the caravans to the Bristol Channel, and on a clear day you can see right across the water. It’s the spot we always head to on the first evening.
The Entertainment Complex
This is the hub of the park: the arcade, the swimming pools, the live lounge and the restaurant are all under one roof. The shows, kids’ discos and bingo happen here in the evenings, and the pools are inside too.
The arcade
Two-pence machines, prize grabbers and a ticket counter where the kids can swap their winnings. A good shout for a rainy hour or for spending holiday pocket money.
The Box Bar and the marquee
Outside, the Box Bar and its marquee look straight out to sea. On a warm summer evening it’s the best seat on the park, with picnic benches, a drink and the sun going down over the water. The main play park and the jump tower are right next to it, so grown-ups can sit with a drink while the children play.
Crazy golf
The crazy golf course runs along the sea wall. It’s pay-per-go, and it’s become a tradition for us every single visit.
Play parks and open space
There are play areas dotted around the park with slides, climbing frames and swings, plus plenty of grass for a kickabout. These are all free.
Free to enjoy
The beach, the play parks, the arcade, the restaurant, bars and takeaway are all open to everyone, and Doniford Farm Park is right next door. Our things to do page covers the area beyond the park.
