    I see no reason why you would not be able to.

    You might have to get whoever you give (or sell) the holiday to, to give you the money for the service charge and you send it off.

    When you arrive on the camp you will not have to prove who you are. As long as you have the booking letter, that is usually enough.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    IME they don't check who you are / how many etc

    my hubby usually goes to get the keys to check in ,and that's it ! so he could be anyone lol

    but so long as you have the booking letter it seems to be fine :)

    I booked a Sun holiday last year with Haven, did not ask for any extras on my booking form apart from Entertainment passes incase of bed weather. They added on bed linen and something else which really annoyed me. I phoned them up straight away and demanded they took these extra charges off as I had not asked for them in the first place. They did take them off but took a wee while for the refund, I insisted they sent me a receipt of the refund onto my card. They also seem to expect that you will automatically upgrade to a better caravan which adds alot on.

    Although its a 'cheap' holiday they just seem to cheekily add the extras on anyway as a standard practice which really isn't on. Demand your money back if you are charged for them. Taking bed linen of your own does not take up alot of space in your luggage and saves you a few quid which can help with your spending money for the holiday for treats/days out.

    Its supposed to be a cheap holiday after all!!!
    Check your confirmation carefully just in case they add extras!

    just came back from two sun hols

    first was to butlins minehead may 18th where we stayed in an apartment
    kids loved it well we all loved it really even though the weather was not on our side we found plenty to do with the kids aged 2,3
    they loved the pool and the bob ammusement rides and the bigger rides too also even managed to get a nice day in on the beach
    found the accomidation we were in a silver pluss apartment very comfortable too

    all round thumbs up :j

    sun 31st may Disneyland paris
    stayed at le chene gris it was arround a 20 min drive from disney land paris and we had a static caravan but also brought some cheques for £9 that we could exchange on the campsite for a pitch to tent for a night either side of the caravan

    nice site, lovely caravan
    there were 3 pools onsite and a childs park that i could not keep the kids out of lol

    one bit of advice we found out after alot of searching and translating french though is in disney a week pass for both parks was £140 we brought annual passes to both parks for 129 Euros and with each adult pass brought got a free anual pass for under sevens so said both the kids were 3:rotfl: the passes entitled you to free parking in disney (8 euros a day) and 10% off foods and gifts so really they were well worth the money and are hoping to do another trip this year
