Trying to forget my holiday

I've been trying to forget my recent holiday to Cornwall but I just found this picture on my phone that reminded me how bad it was:
The whole place reeked of cigarettes
"Free Admition"??? What were they going to admit?
That this dive should carry a health warning: 'Please be aware that smoking is permitted anywhere and anytime on this site, even during the toddlers showtime. Bring your kids and let them share in the passively induced joy of lung cancer.'

The scenery was great and the beaches would have been good too, if it hadn't rained so much. There wasn't a whole lot to do with the kids when it was raining. That's why we chose to go to a Haven holiday park.

Haven throw in a lot of on site entertainment but frankly the place was a dive. The floors were sticky, the decor was peeling from the walls and the whole place looked and felt shabby. It was like a burberry gulag.

We went to a Haven site last year in Dorset, Warmwell, and it was quite nice. However, Haven no longer operate from the Warmwell site, based on our experiences at the Perran Sands site I can only assume that Warmwell wasn't downmarket enough for them.

I took my family on holiday to the Perran Sands caravan complex in August this year and can see where you are coming from, the place hasn't changed much but luckily the weather had! We had a week of glorious sunshine which meant we could actually make full use of the area including the beaches.
