I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years, but I've never stayed in a static caravan on a holiday park before, so I figured it was time to give it a try! In this video we stay at the North Shore Holiday Park in Skegness, booked through Hoseasons - I give you a tour of the caravan and then take you through the rest of our 3-day trip. It's safe to say that staying on a holiday park is not like what I expected!

Is Skegness really the worst seaside town in the UK? 👉 czcams.com/video/TeIChKEU5yI/video.html
Nice Apple Watch
I have Pokémon go nice that he was asleep
Nice that his hair is long
Yes it is.
Absolutely love a caravan holiday! Something so nostalgic and warm feeling about them. I’ve spent so much money on fancy lodges over the years and last year we went on our first caravan holiday as adults and had just as much fun for less than half the price! And they’re almost always by the sea so there’s always something to do! Great video as usual!
Thanks for your video. Being too tight to pay £300+ for three days in a caravan ☺we often take the tents out of season and still have a nice time. Skegness camping fees are around £20 for a good site. Interesting what you said about Three UK in the video - and you nailed it. On a much better network we save loads on mobile ISP costs - and that's with a throwaway PAYG sim.
Love a static caravan holiday 😍
I’ve stayed in loads of caravan parks as a kid but not as many these days but I did stay in one in Blackpool earlier on in the year. Nice vlog and review Kevin!
Caravan holidays are awesome , I enjoy them better than hotels
Now THIS is going to be a great watch! This could be a new series: Kev stays in weird/unique locations.
Kev the videos are solid. Your ability to talk and always keeping the audience guessing / entertained is unique. Keep on keeping on
I have autism and i love camping plus i love skegness and pontins pakefield. Love your video's
really love how you've turned fully into a travel channel! i'm glad you didn't stop vlogging as i love keeping up with you shenanigans, but i'm also glad you're vlogging doing stuff you love!
loving the new channel Kev, hope it kicks off like you plan
When I was little we always went to haggerston castle it's really fun there's a huge pond and a pool with water slides and a wave machine.
Really loving the new channel
Keep up the great content Kevin, superb mate👍
Thanks 👍
Just found your channel so glad you enjoyed your first caravan holiday I loved them. Dave is lovely.
Thanks and welcome
Oh this brings back memories! Me and my family used to once a year go to a Haven park, and stay in a caravan that we rented. Usually they had a wrap around veranda (balcony) and was a 3 bedroom platinum caravan, bassically the nicest onces you could get. We would usually stay from Mon-Fri, but sometimes we did do a full 7 day week that would be really unhealthy for me having a Burger Kind every single night... Yes, I'm not joking but I guess it was alright as I loved doing the party dances in the showbar afterwards anyways.
been in a caravan holiday at heaven every year almost absolutely love it wonderful campsites
I remember going to the Isle Of Wight on a caravan holiday when I was a kid. I've always remembered it .
Glad to see the new channel is doing well in the algo!
Hey Kev, another great video lovely to see you all together
I have never been to Skegness before looks really good. I do love a caravan holiday we go to haven church farm which is our local one.
Rain is a nightmare for my lad too char ❤❤❤
Skeg is OK for families that don't expect much, nice beach . Beware if you smoke, there are environmental officers who patrol, their main targets are smokers who drop butt's, I was caught on camera and fined...£80 .
Hi Kev! I love your videos and loving seeing you and Anna travelling.
Glad you like them!
Hi Kevin just discovered your channel really enjoyed your Skegness video I was been just 40 minutes drive from Skegness but now live in Derbyshire loved dave the dog great to see a very nice family group enjoying time together really well put together video will definitely watch more of your videos.respect to you and your family.
We love Haven caravans but we get the wheelchair accessible ones and they are so good now with everything you could ever need. Great video and I’m definitely with Andy and his bingo! The donkeys at Skeggy are the ones that are on the TV programme.
Me and the muissus took the young un for a caravan holiday last month and we was as surprised as you mate. We’d never booked a static caravan before and thought it would be bog standard but ours was pretty much the same as yours by the looks of it barring the full size fridge freezer. It was a saver caravan too which made us skeptical but turned out to be really nice!
Saver caravans are Havens basic model.
Next step is Bronze , Silver, Gold and finally the range topping Signature models.
Haven let you take your dogs to the first 3 models.
Which means with my dogs , I go for the Silver model as I like the veranda and large patio doors, which are a godsend on very hot days.
Some of the Silvers also have a full en suite in the master bedroom .
The least you will get is a toilet and sink in the en suite.
Just had 5 days at Havens Marton Mere site near Blackpool.
Skegness is booked for April next year in another Silver model.
@@gazza9463 They’re not a bad holiday firm really are they. We’d opted for the saver just cause we planned on just sort of staying on the night in the caravan and going on little adventures throughout the days we had there. We’d noticed you could bring your dogs too when we’d got there and was gutted we didn’t although like you said a silver or something would have been more practical for bringing dogs and stuff. We wouldn’t have had space really for our 2 in the one we got but if we go again I rekon we’d pay a little more for the space to do so. But yeah we’d definitely go again like! Ours was primrose valley up near Filey and just down the road from Scarborough so there was plenty to do if you don’t fancy staying at the caravan site for the full trip
Better than a tent.
I love caravan parks use to always go as a kid. Am going back to one next year.
Love a static caravan holiday
Hi Kevin that's looks amazing done caravan holidays before myself and that's looking good very practical you can get in some places a bath or wet room and things for special needs such as autism but I'm not 100% sure who does that myself maybe something in the future you can maybe look into as far as a bathroom goes for andy, enjoy videos are always good from you look forward to future videos
That looks like a comfy static. I too not paper thin lol. Definately looking to book there 🙂
Stayed at this site in July, quite a nice site, we also booked through Hoseasons
Wow, I've been going to caravan parks my whole life and I've never heard of that check-out process! On a whole caravans are a great cheap holiday; get yourself to Scarborough!
Hi I'm new to your channel really enjoyed this one. Never stayed in Skegness really thinking about it now after seeing your video .
Welcome aboard!
Me and hubby have stayed in a few caravans over the years. A lot nicer than years ago. We bring food we need with us and just buy fresh when we get here. Also some caravan parks do have Wi-Fi.
when i was at the haven park (formerlly the richmond park) i took my 3 mobile router, and the connection i got was absolutely phenominal. crazy what a difference a mile or so makes between caravan parks not gonna lie.
Great vlog Kevin. Loving the new channel!!
Awesome thank you!
Oh you got to bring Dave with you. He's beautiful.🐕🐾🐾🇬🇧
Brilliant video .
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Kevin 😁😁😁
Thanks! 😁
Love fantasy Island,stayed at butlins
Did statics when the kids were young ( wouldn't fly now they are older especially things like no WiFi) and loved it! Great value even if they weren't in the best places. Norfolk is my nearest coastal area, Hunstanton, Skegness etc. But it's unfortunately not a patch on Cornwall, Devon etc. Nice for a weekend by the sea, but more than that it is pretty boring.
I’ve only ever been to Cornwall a couple of times, it’s a LOOOONG drive for us. It’s quicker to drive to Paris!
I hate to say this since it was where my gran had her bungalow and I have happy memories from there but Skipsea would probably be the worst seaside town, since most of it fell into the sea! great video BTW regards from Sydney Australia. 🦘 now there's a challenge for you!!! 🤣
Great vlog my first time commenting, Parkdean and Haven allow dogs we take ours every year aslong as you stay in a dog friendly van , you can get some really good deals too
I’ll check them out, cheers
Great video ive subscribed
🤣 the van situation reminds me I went on holiday beginning of month and found their hoover wasn’t working so I brought a hand held hoover to take back home and I left it there
Oops. We did the same thing in Tenerife with a kettle - wasn’t one in our room so we bought one and then left it there
Great video 🎉
Thank you 😁
I love ❤️ a caravan holiday I’ve been going to north wales for years…I went as a kid in the 70s and I took my own kids in the 90s and now my kids are grown up and left home me and hubby still go in a caravan for short breaks i love ❤️ towyn In north wales 🏴 and going out for the day to Llandudno we also go to Rhyl and Prestatyn we love ❤️ it I actually prefer a caravan holiday then staying in a hotel
Sounds great!
We like Skegness, but and suck going on holiday now because of our dog. Thank you for doing this video. We could take the dog. Is there lots of parking when u get to town?
I’ve never had a problem finding a space, even in August
There are extra charges for dogs, £40 per dog.
Can't beat a good caravan holiday
It certainly won’t be my last time!
Skegness gets a bad rep but for a young family it hits the spot for decent time away. Most seaside towns have run down areas because they just don't get the funds given to them.
We love a caravan hoilday. We always go with haven they are fantastic We always have a bronze van they are brilliant
I workedat north shore holiday park for a good few years its inbetween skeg and chapel
£325 is not bad at all. Iam staying in Houlgate Normandy on saturday (9th September 2023) we paid £600 for 13 nights. but add on the cost of the eurotunel or ferry. Great Review Kevin 🙂 Hi Anna And Andy
Caravans are the best! Many modern ones are very luxurious if you want more pizzaz.
Vist the next resort same sandcastle amd donkey rides Cleethorpes they have caravan parks as well andgreat fish andchips
If you don't know Primrose Valley, Filey, then do give it a visit...a Haven site. Many caravans....2nd largest site in UK. but many in small groups so nice and intimate. I paid £59 for 4 days in early Oct this year. Oh...and I got free WiFi in the caravan.
Nice Hair! 👍🏼I love your videos!
Thank you! Cheers!
Your welcome Kev 👍🏼
You should try great Yarmouth. And stay at seashore holiday park. Very big big caravan park 5 minutes away and your on the beach and sea fantastic place great Yarmouth is
Great Yarmouth is definitely on the to do list
Just stumbled across your video great watch and your a gooner now subscribed
Welcome aboard!
It’s 4am your vid popped up. I’m a few mins in will watch rest later. Is Andy ASD? I am 53 with ASD have an ASD daughter and son is also (undiagnosed) potentially ASD too.
I’ll finish watching later.
We did the same as another commt brought certain food bought fresh on the way we also had dogs with us brought dog food we stopped on the way to our caravan and got fresh stuff great times saves a fourtune if you put stuff away each week and take it with you what you dont use you bring back fresh stuff you can give to another carvan whose staying longer
Hi kevin and fam we were brought up on skeggy and loved it. So long as ya not a snob and expect st tropez yr holiday is what you make it. We always went with all the family sisters brothers their kids and friends. To this day my husband and l still have a week away in my brothers caravan real luxury verrandah washing mashine etc however we do enjoy a different hol as well. We love a cruise but skeggy is alays in my heart and soul, you make it what you want enjoy my friend !!!!!!!
Please excuse my grammar machine etc lol x
You can pay for Wi-Fi at reception which is run by coastfields and the reason why you check out like that is because they are privately owned caravans the site only rents them with the owners permission not the other way around
caravan's are great. A lot of the parks do have wifi now too
I think there was wifi at the main centre bit, just not in the individual caravans
Stay in Skeggy, visit Mablethorpe.
we have just bought a static in somerset our van looks a lot larger than the one you are staying in the master bed room has a king sized bed as a double is too small for us it only has one bathroom but its of a good size there is a shop on sight as well as amusement arcade indoor and out door bar restaurant and a fish + chip shop also an indoor pool
Nice 👌
Thanks 😊
You should have tried the pies from the pie palace they are lovely
I’m not really a pie fan, at least from chip shops. Would always rather go for the fish.
Wo my name is Kevin Champion 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plus mega point you can take your dog............
Would love to see you try out the different types of ‘holiday/caravan’ parks. See which one you prefer
I’m sure we’ll go to a few more. We’re at a holiday park right now in fact, although not in a caravan this time
@@KevinChapmanTravelI'm 25 but been going on holiday in a static caravan since I was 1 there's nothing better.
@@KevinChapmanTravelwe stayed in a dog friendly van a few years ago with haven which had a washing machine and dishwasher in and also a pantry, bath, walk in wardrobe and wraparound decking it was amazing
Check out process has put me off! Sounds like a long wait to get off home if cleaners are all contacted at same time? Enjoyed your video though feels like I've been on a mini break with you😂
I WAS ON THE SAME SITE AROUND SAME SOUND
Ha was there a few weeks ago
Your in i goldmills mate not skeg your chip shop was definitely Ingoldmells
Those chips were after we'd been to Fantasy Island. The holiday park we were in was definitely in Skegness!
@KevinChapmanTravel fantasy island is ingoldmills
@@jackiepurchese4169Ingoldmells is in Skegness lol
Southview parksdean in skegness is good
That box behind the tv could be for WiFi I know some sites have WiFi on the site 3:30
If it was, it wasn’t turned on. There was no wifi when we searched for it
Usually we wind up watching police interceptors 😂
I hope that's a TV show...
I have used Haven caravan sites for years but if anyone can recommend another company (companies) please let me know.
Coastfields leseuire
I only paid £150 for 4 nights at haven and that was with dog and 4 people, but I’m guessing last minute it would be a bit more.
We're staying on a Haven park next week and it's a lot cheaper than this trip. Probably because we booked it a little earlier in advance and it's not in the school holidays
Did you stay in Skegness or ingoldmells
Skegness
We pay less than that for a week in September, Friday to Friday.
Yeah caravans have moved on a fair bit since we were kids mate
Nobody told me!
You must had a older caravan because you have Dave you get newer carvan if you don't take Dave caravan holidays are great
Ahh a lusy and yak fan I work for them
Anna loves them, she’s got loads of their stuff
Hahaa Are you in a Show caravan or something?? Looks right near a main car park. Interesting video though
been there we loved it.. had a great time
🤣
The amount of people in the background who seem unaware of what a camera is or the idea of someone filming a vlog is hilarious 😂
I let them off these days because I used a funky little camera on a tiny gimbal, and it does look a bit weird…
@@KevinChapmanTravel you'd probably get the same reactions from the old folk in my little seaside town as well. Really enjoying the channel though Kev. Thanks for the content!
Try haven next time they don’t charge a key fee and the check out process isn’t like this one
I'm sure you have a fm 23 channel too
I do indeed.
@@KevinChapmanTravel I knew it 😄😄
Get a baby gate for the dog I have a little dog so I take one and you can have the door open
Where can u camp for free am planning on going up that way in couple weeks lol or the cheapest hotel or campsite
Not sure, not camped since I was a kid!
love a good static caravan holiday you should try one in a better place maybe dawlish or torbay area
My mum and dad have a carvan with wifi
God help the carpet if its wet with the dog
What breed of dog is dave?
He's an English Springer Spaniel.
I prefer Heineken 0.0, but each to their own.
Anna got some of that at Christmas I think. It didn't quite hit the spot in the same way!
try haven get 2 bed caravan next march 49 pounds ive got 7 holidays they do 2 bed apartment march 2024 scotland 4 nights 69 pounds
Haven Thorpe park Is the best
I'll have to add it to my list!
Haven Thorpe Park. If that is the one at Cleethorpes then they have just finished a refurbishment & more attractions on site. Sorry can't remember its new name but Cleethorpes is part of the new name
Thorpe Parks new name is
Haven Cleethorpes Beach Holiday Park.
I think you got rid off there 😂 £300 for a weekend on a holiday park with no entertainment or nothing on site and you have to pay a £50 deposit never heard off something so weird in my life 😂 you should off gone to a Parkdean in Skegness
There was entertainment, we just didn’t go to it because I’ve never found “entertainment” on holiday entertaining!
“not ideal theres no bath” you’re in a caravan mate hahaha
That doesn’t stop it not being ideal…
