hmm didn't they do a similar thing last year.

If i recall the sites they offered were crap sites in scotland, don't know about England.

IMHO Many of the people who are gonna take up the £1 offer, will be from the Neds/chavs/bams of the world.

We find sometimes it is cheaper in the long run to pay full price and have enjoyiable camping time.

This might sound harsh but belive me this is a lesson learned by experience.

The site that they are using are all over the country. Mainly Parkdean and Haven Caravan sites. Although its in term time, so could be restrictive for a lot of people, my understanding is that you can chose the number of nights you want to stay an collect the appropriate number of vouchers.

We were planning on going to a local site, going over on a Friday afternoon, pitching the tent, then collecting the boys from school and coming home Sunday.

You also book direct so there is no lottey on dates - you get a confirmed booking there and then.

Now all I need is to a new tracksuit and trainers to complete the look for me Chav Holiday......

Camping is now the elitist way to holiday now.?

I love this site and am relatively new to camping so look for anyway to take a new camping experience, but i find a couple of those replies condescending to say the least. I will be taking up the Sun offer, trying it out, seeing how it works and making my own way, but thanks for letting me know in advance i may become a chav by doing so.

I know what you mean Jools - they may seem insulting. However, I like to think that what people mean are that those offers and sites will tend to attract people who want to go with friends and get plastered - nothing wrong with that as long as everyone else is doing the same.

You will know what sort of holiday you like - if you're OK with the party atmosphere then I'm sure this offer is fine. I have a couple of young kids and so wouldn't want to touch it with a barge pole, even if they were paying me .

Now, if I can get someone to take the kids and wife away for a week, then I'll be right behind you...
