Liz,

I'm lazy and of that vintage where "one-stop" shopping is the preferred route. Can't be bothered with numerous phone-calls or failed log-ins on the internet. Also the people at Select Sites have vetted all the sites in their brochure and can tell you all you need to know about where you're going to stay. For me especially, this is very important.

Me and "her indoors" aren't chancers and don't like voyages into the unkown!!!!!

Cheers!

Vic

We're no spring chickens either, and we know France quite well now. We don't really have a problem with failed logins either (neither of us really "do" phonecalls unless we have to).

We tried to go through an operator for a short break last October and ... I dunno ... it's just too hard for us. The special internet price wasn't available when we actually tried to book, but was £50 dearer, so we phoned and the phone price was £50 on top of that. Kind of priced us out of the market and we felt a bit stupid as we'd believed the dates & price on the website.

I love spending those long winter evenings looking at campsite websites and deciding where to go. If we book in advance we look at all the reviews we can find (here and elsewhere) and mail sites with any questions we migh have. Last year we didn't book (as it was only May) - got to where we were going with a shortlist of sites, checked into one for "two nights" just to make sure. 2 weeks later we had to be dragged home squealing and kicking.

After all these years we know pretty much exactly what suits us

Still, it's nice we're not all the same, innit
