The park offers a wide range of caravan accommodation and amenities, situated within walking distance of Rossall Beach, a dog-friendly stretch of sand reached in around 20 minutes on foot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"1048\">The park combines relaxation with adventure. Facilities include a family pool with a water slide for children, a steam room for adults, and high-energy challenges such as the Leap of Faith and a vertical assault course. On site there is also a splash zone, a convenience store, a launderette and a programme of sports and entertainment. Caravan holidays here are positioned as a balance between leisure and activity, with Blackpool\u2019s famous attractions only a short drive away for those who want to explore further.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1515\">Haven Leisure Limited, formerly Haven Holidays, operates Cala Gran as part of a wider chain of 38 UK holiday parks. Established in <strong>1964<\/strong>, the company specialises in self-catering static caravan breaks, many parks also offering touring and camping facilities. Haven became part of the Bourne Leisure Group in 2000, and the British Holidays brand was merged into Haven in 2004. In January 2021 Bourne Leisure, and with it Haven, was acquired by the Blackstone Group.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1939\">Cala Gran\u2019s location holds historical interest as well as holiday appeal. Directly opposite the entrance to the park is a <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wwii-pillbox-at-fleetwood-road\/\"><strong>Second World War pillbox bunker<\/strong><\/a>, a reminder of the defensive installations built along the Lancashire coast during wartime. The presence of this structure provides visitors with a tangible link to Fleetwood\u2019s wartime past, contrasting with the modern leisure environment of the holiday park itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11151\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cala-Gran-3-1000.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"818\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11152\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cala-Gran-4-1000.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"473\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cala Gran Holiday Park in Fleetwood, near Blackpool, is one of Haven\u2019s most popular family destinations on the Fylde coast.
