I have just emailed a campsite for a 3 night stay with 3 of the pound vouchers with an EHU up grade and they have mailed me back saying they are ony a small site and we can only use one of the vouchers and pay full price for the other 2 nights, it is still only £28-00 for 3 nights but just check with your chosen campsite if you are planning on using more than 1 of these tokens.

it does say that they only have to give you one night per voucher and doesn't say how many they can accept as a maximum. I guess its at the sites discretion, but would presume that they only have to do the minimum and then charge you for the rest.

I am booking up october half term using them so will tell you then!

we aren't sure yet - will book in the next couple of weeks! just being a saddy it says 1 night 1 pound and the site only have to accept 1 voucher! same with the free night too, but will pick a site with indoor pool, so if the weather is rubbish can send the kids to go swimming with wife!

We rang up a couple of campsites, particularly in the midlands as wanted cheap break and close by for the kids, but they said that somehow the sun had released the details early on the website so that when it came to the sites being in the paper-everything was booked! Real shame, was looking forward to it and had a weeks worth of tokens too!

I booked 3 nights with our vouchers. I booked during the week the vouchers were out. It was suppposed to be for last week. Anyway I rang up a couple of weeks ago to confirm thebooking, and they didn't have us booked in. The women said 'i would of sent you a booking form if you had booked via the sun offer'. And now they were full for the sun offer, so we booked somewhere else instead. I was really annoyed as know for a fact I booked up- someone doesn't know their job.

We saved a few vouchers but when it came to booking there was nothing suitable in our preferred areas on the days we wanted.

It sounds to me like a lot of these sites are using the Sun for free advertising, honouring a couple of bookings then using lame excuses to get out of it. I think a name & shame list is in order.
We have friends who tried to get on Ty Mawr but because it was weekend & with EHU went from £1 to £18 a night.

Surely by doing that, you are given them more free advertising? Good or bad, it is still getting their names out there.
