    Thank you for that no need to fix my post as I know how I bought up my kids I stayed home with them all their life and spend time with them. :-)
    It makes no difference how much time you spent at home with them, they are still six very young teenagers, who are going on holiday without any kind of adult support or supervision.

    What kind of campsite or holiday resort would be so stupid as to agree to allow six unaccompanied teenage girls, two of them only fifteen, to use their facility?

    This for 6 16 year old girls, but two of them will only be 15.......they don`t booze or party, no night life ,
    (WHEN MUM IS WATCHING THEM) ......they wouldn`t mind doing some sport activity, walks along the beach, fun stuff like that.
    Time to discover booze!
    Late nights!
    Boyz!
    WOOHOO!

    I fixed your post for you, you'd left a bit out.

    Good god.This parent is either naive in the extreme, or just plain neglectful!
    No camp site owner (or a t least any that i would go to) would allow teenagers on their site withouth an adult present:(

    And this is the point. What right minded business owner would be so irresponsible, as to accept responsibility of a party of four sixteen year old girls and two fifteen year old girls on a holiday, without any adult supervision or support. It would ring very loud alarm bells with me and would suggest that they cannot be trusted to have four sixteen year old girls and two fifteen year old girls on a holiday, without any adult supervision or support.

    Personally, I would not let my daughter go on holiday alone when she is 16 but saying that, at 16 I was living with my 17 girlfriend in our own rented accommodation.

    I do find it quite harsh though that everybody is judging both Ilovecubbage (as I’d assume the parent) and the children involved. While it is probably quite naive to think 16 year old girls would not be interested or inquisitive about sex and underage drinking, it is wrong to assume that they will put themselves in danger by overindulging or want for a better word behaving like ’sluts’.

    Going back to the original question, I think it will be hard to find accommodation for any group of under 18 year olds and same sex groups may have problems at family orientated parks until they are over 21 or even 25. Also, I think there could possibly be legal implications of allowing a sixteen year old to have loco parentis’ over a 15 year old.

    Do none of the group have an older brother, sister, cousin or aunty etc who could act as chaperone, even if they were there just to satisfy any requirements of the holiday park etc and be there in an emergency?

    Another solution could be if an adult (or two) would book the holiday and check-in with the group, then they could be left alone without any problems (unless of case they did bring any attention to themselves by causing a disturbance etc).

    I think the OP is on a wind up. But your advice that she should lie to the campsite owner is fraught with many risks, not least one that could end being very expensive for who ever booked the holiday.
