Has anyone had problems booking with Forest Holidays? I made a booking 5 weeks ago as well as paying for a Forest Experience card. So far I have received neither confirmation of my booking or the card. I have telephoned them 3 times now. Twice I was told that it was in the post (the last time 2 weeks ago) and once my details were taken for them to call back with no contact. I have emailed them with details, but again had no contact. I just wondered if this was standard service or if it's just me being unfortunate.

Hi sorry to hear this.

We've just bought a Forest Experience Card which came through in less than a week. We booked our break over the phone but the first time we phoned we had to request a callback as all their operators were busy.

We've got our confirmation of booking which also came through very quickly.

Did you book online?  I think I've seen previous posts where other campers have had problems with online bookings and not receiving confirmation.

I think my hubby was told to contact them if our Forest Experience card hadn't arrived within 2-3wks.

I would try phoning again and ask to speak to a Customer Service Manager esp as you've been waiting for 5wks.

Good Luck - hope you get it sorted 17

Managed to get through to them on Thursday afternoon. Spoke to a very nice lady, who apologised for the lack of contactconfirmation. Amended my booking and received my confirmation in todays post. Hopefully, my Forest Experience card will follow shortly.

17 At least you have your booking confirmation now.

Apparently the Forest Experience Card comes from a different place but now you've chased it up I expect it should arrive within the next week 17

Which site are you staying at?  We're off to Postern Hill in a few days and looking at Forest of Dean for Sept but can't decide between Bracelands and Christchurch 17

We're going to Hollands Wood. It's the first time I'm been camping for 25 years. Fingers crossed for good weather.
