We are booking a 2010 camping holiday in Noja,spain for with eurocamp independant. The base price is £495 incl ferries crossings, 2 adults and car for 12 nights. Children are free. After entering our details, further suppliments where added which doubled the price to over a £1000!

The brochure states that washing and toilet facilites are free and we do not need electricity hook up.

There is no real description or breakdown of these suppliment charges. Can anybody enlighten us?

This situation often occurs when the company show a headline price but what you find is that some campsites charge more and this is reflected in the final price. You could always e-mail them and ask them to explain.

All the big companies work on the same basic idea: there's a base price, determined by time of year & number of people. On top of that you have to add a supplement for any ferry not Dover-Calais midweek, plus - and this is the good bit - another supplement per night based on the particular site you want and when you're going. Big sites with lots of facilities have a higher supplement, small sites lower.

Oops- swansea Jack's already said this. Though I doubt it's the Santander route. BF wanted nealy £1000 for the ferry alone this summer.

If you have young children and want to take advantage of the kids club and activities on that site then you may want to book through Eurocamp. A work colleague went to a site with a big Eurocamp presence in Brittany and only Eurocamp clients children were allowed to join the kids club and join in organised activities as they were staffed by Eurocamp employees. Her children were very disappointed at not being allowed to join in. If this is important for you then there are still lots of sites that organise their own clubs and activities so you could take Vals advice and cost a holiday yourself.
