I'll go for the other Filey Site, Primrose Valley.

Had a caravan there from 1996 to 2005 and worked on site from 2001 to 2005.
Great location, what a beach, 10 miles of golden sand.

My favourite Haven site has to be Wild Duck in Norfolk. In the middle of no-where and near to the sea too .. perfect. Cherry Tree also a well positioned site just around the corner from Wild Duck but now back in the hands of Parkdean I believe. :cool:

I think I would choose "Presthaven Sands" in North Wales.
I worked there in 1987, as a HavenMate, and the main Hostess for the Night Club.
The people were very friendly, and the Welsh views were just beautifull....If you are looking for a change of scenery, and a different place to explore, then that is the place to go!!.
I haven't been back recently, as I reside in America, so I don't know what the place would look like now...But, it probably would be worth looking into!!.

Wow, what memories you have brought back to me, I was one of the summer gang, factory fortnight (July) for many years and the only reason we used to return was because I would sulk and drive my parents mad unless we returned, they cancelled many a holiday abroad to bring me to Seashore and the reason why was the friends I made and who returned year after year like me, we kept in touch for years, we met when I was 14 at the segull club and I am now 36 and still intouch with a fair few, As I grew up from the segull club to the mermaid and the the follies, Who remembers "Stretch" !!!.. My last return as a single girl was 1992. my most favourt years when I was old enough to get into BOOGIES!! disco was 1986, 87, 88. **1987** was the best ever!!!. (Mr Mat Hicks!). Lots of Love to old gang and any one who on here may remember me!!. (Oh, remember me binns??)

They have just spent £1m on the limelight club I wouldnt have recognised the place. Seashore was a fun park with the best GM I ever saw at work. Late 80s early 1990s. It was Havens customer care park of the year in 90,91 92 93 94. Long before the days of Funworks and all that crap.

im going to hafan y mor this month and i,ll let you know whats it like there when i get back. i,ll take some photos to show you to if you wont. i hear primrose is the best though so one day i,ll try there

[Pushbutton]

I've only been to Primrose Valley (to see the last remains of the old Butlins) and to Hafen Y Mor (Pwllheli).

Of the two, I personally prefer Pwllheli, simply because there's a lot more of the old Butlins still there.

Primrose Valley does look like a pretty good camp in its own way though, although I was surprised that there is no control over who enters the camp (no gate or security hut, you can just drive in via several roads). Sort of detracts from the feeling of being in an exclusive resort really. Lots of great facilities there though so its good to see that, in a very real way, Butlins Filey lives on at Haven Primrose Valley!
