Have any other members had the experience of being told sites do not accept children at bank holidays? Been trying to book a site in wales and just been told that although the site, which advertised itself to families ,had availability they were not taking children. I cant understand this! It seems that families are good enough the rest of the year but obviously not acceptable at bank holidays!!

No, but I seem to remember a thread from last year where a site was not taking bookings from people without children at bank holidays.  It all seems a bit strange to me!

That's quite strange. If they didn't want to take a family at busy times they wouldn't be getting my business at other times. Perhaps they are running some sort of car/ campervan/ caravan key swapping games and so children shouldn't be there I always imagine that's the reason for the adult only sites that have arisen recently

Although it wasn't until recently on here that I realised that adults only sites even existed!)

How bizarre. As other have said, if your money is good enough the rest of the year..........

I have found a site which charges for a minimum of 5 nights ,even if you only want to stay for 2, over the bank holiday, but if you are willing to pay those prices, then children are welcome.( especially at this particular site as it has swimming pool, arcades etc etc and it is the children who spend the money)

Let us know what the site is called. We can then all phone 'enquiring' about availability and when they say they are not allowing children, if we all comment on the fact that we won't bother going at any other time then they may change their minds.

To me, THIS is what a forum should be about, helping campers find good sites and staying away from the ones with poor practices.
