Trying to book a same sex booking arrgghh!!

Hi guys, a group of my friends want to have a weekend break away from the partners and children! And we were hoping to do something like pontins in camber sands in October (not half trem) we are all 25, not rowdy at all, would just spend the whole time having a laugh and playing cards etc but I cant find anywhere that will take a single sex booking and its so frustrating!!

Has anyone ever got round this or knows of any caravan parks that will take a booking like this!!?!?

MANY Thanks

:confused:

    I don't know where will, but I know Butlins definitely won't, unless it is for one of the adult weekends ... x
    Gone ... or have I?

    Have you thought about breaking the booking down into smaller groups?
    I'm sure if you book less than 10 people they won't question it. Just get three of you to book a group of 8 people at the same time.

    Hi there, thanks but i think u might have misunderstood, we are all 25 years old but there is 6 of us going cant really afford to break up the group because it would mean paying nearly double.
  • Why don't one of you agree that everyone can doss down at one of your houses?
    The partner and children can go stay with friends or mum and dad and as long as house is clean when partner comes back everything should be ok?

    But do the pubs and clubs?

    Many years ago on a works outing one lady in our group had to go in and out of a pub about a dozen times because it was one man one girl admission rule!

    it'll be a cold day in hell when Blackpool clubs stop letting in groups of women (assuming Kimmywim isn't really called Dave)

    Unfortunately Pontins, Haven/British Holidays and Butlins will not accept all same sex groups AFAIK, says in the brochures. They like to class themselves as "family" holidays, which unfortunately means no groups of all males/all females.
  • Hi

    Bunn Leisure on the south coast will take all Male / Female group bookings at the parks discretion and if they are not busy it might be worth a phone call.

    These are their T&C's

    We stayed there for the 1st time a few weeks ago and had a really nice weekend (tho it rained all weekend!)

    HTH :D
