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!

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!
Kev the videos are solid. Your ability to talk and always keeping the audience guessing / entertained is unique. Keep on keeping on
Better than a tent.
Now THIS is going to be a great watch! This could be a new series: Kev stays in weird/unique locations.
That looks like a comfy static. I too not paper thin lol. Definately looking to book there 🙂
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.
Plus mega point you can take your dog............
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
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.
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.
Hi I'm new to your channel really enjoyed this one. Never stayed in Skegness really thinking about it now after seeing your video .

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.

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.

Great video ive subscribed
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 !!!!!!!

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
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

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.
Vist the next resort same sandcastle amd donkey rides Cleethorpes they have caravan parks as well andgreat fish andchips
God help the carpet if its wet with the dog

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 .
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.
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
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.
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
