From Pub Pit Stops to Porcelain Progress: Maravan’s Toilet Tale

Back in the very first year of Maravan, our toilet situation was… let’s say, character-building. The nearest loo was a quarter of a mile away in a local pub, which led to one unfortunate athlete being lapped mid-relief. It was a memorable moment — though probably not for the right reasons.

Since then, we’ve dutifully hired portable toilets each year. They did the job, but by Sunday evening, they were more “grin and bear it” than “comfort and joy.”

This year, we’re thrilled to announce a major upgrade: proper porcelain toilets, courtesy of the campsite. No more long treks or chemical cubicles — just clean, civilised facilities within easy reach. It’s a small detail, but one we know will make a big difference to your weekend.

In return for this luxury, the campsite has asked us to support Cancer Research UK, the chosen charity of Haven Holidays. We think that’s a brilliant cause, and we hope you’ll join us in making a donation — whether it’s a few coins or something more generous. Every bit helps.

Let’s make this year’s Maravan the most comfortable — and the most meaningful — yet.
