    Anyone else been to Camber Sands apart from the review in post 358? Managed to book it, tbh I don't really care what it's like but would like to be prepared. Do you need to take bed linen? is there plenty for the kids to do and are there swimming/paddling pools? tia

    Hi Julie, I've been there before and the kids enjoyed themselves (much more than me - I'm afraid!) The chalets are basic and sofa bed is uncomfortable, but I've found this in all 3 pontins I've been too and I've stayed in club as well as budget. Electricity is paid for by card, costs £1 each - you may need 3 or so for a 4 night break but if any don't get used - you will get your money back. You will need bed linen as its not provided in budget.

    All activities for kids are free in summer hols so kids will have a fab time - there is a swimming pool too.

    People did moan about the accommodation, but I don't mind as its free and so long as its clean. Hope you find it okay.

    I went on the free day trip to france and it was foggy so boat was delayed on the way back - didnt get back till after 10 at night. If this is offered again, will probably give it a miss this time!
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

    Thanks BB, I'm just so grateful to be able to go, tbh we will prob. just end up using the chalet as a base,we cant go on the day trip to france as ds doesn't have a passport and I don't really want to get one just for this (he's only 2) plus it's a bit short notice to get one. Is it close to the beach? havent told my daughter yet as it will be a constant 'how many days' lol, but can' wait to see her face when I get her case out - this was our only chance of having a family holiday so I am so made up - it's all for the kids really.
