its not the same price, you pay £9.50 per person on booking. all extras are billed after. think of the £38 as a deposit. do you have all the info that came through the post with the letter? all of the service charges and board options are in there.

Thanks so much guys for codes, helped so much x
Booked for 4th June at kiln park Wales anyone been there before ??x

Kiln park is one of the best the best parks in Wales, Tenby is lovely and you have great beaches, also if you have a car, Pembrokeshire is a lovely area, with so much stunning coastline to explore, you will have a great time.

we went to butlins skeggy last year, it was all chalets! The only caravans were over the road and they were private ones (my friend has one on there).

The normal price is for self catering same as most holiday parks,but you can pay half board if you like. The half board thing was seperate to the usual upgrades though, we upgraded to silver which was fine. A bit dated i suppose but fine enough! Fantastic place for the kids though, just very very busy! If anyone well known is on in the club people are queueing outside from about 4pm lol! :rotfl:

Butlins do actually own some of the caravans. I googled it and it came up with all the Butlins logos on the top.

Camber is pontins....take your passport - its about 30 mins from the tunnel - we went to bruges (belgium) for the day from there :-) x

edit - theres a park next to pontins too but cant think which chain that is. x

Thanks to you all for the advice its very kind of you xx

We have been to a number of Pontins over the years, whilst they are not 5 star hotels, they are a decent value for £9.50 each. If you were to pay the standard £250+ for a weekend break, I would complain. Facilities and entertainment are good. They are no worse than any of the others. We have just booked Haven Devon Cliffs in the Easter Holidays.
