Help me book a holiday! [+rep!]

[Ostinato]

Hey guys, how are we all? Lol.

Okay heres the low down! =P

My mum is pregnant and is due on June 4th, so my parents are going on holiday anywhere this year. However, this is a really hard year for me and theres no way I'm spending my whole summer stuck in scotland with a screaming baby, haha. So I'm planning on going on 2 holidays.

The first holiday I'm planning from about 1 - 14 July abroad with my cousin which should be fun.

However, my 2nd holiday I'm just wanting somewhere in the Uk - like a wee carivan park, lol. I'll be going with my girlfriend and some friends so I'd like a decent caravan where I can share a bed with her (haha). Somewhere like Blackpool would be cool, and probably from about the 21-28 July would be good.

However, as it's 2 holidays I'm trying to keep the cost of the 2nd one as low as possible - so I'm looking for somewhere cheapish as well haha.

Any ideas or suggestions for going about booking my second holiday, or any helpful links etc.? :)

[+13rep for all helpful suggestions!] :)

Cheers, have a good night.

Ostinato :)

[Kymux]

Why don't you have a child, rent a caravan and go to.. SCOTLAND!!

erm, norfolk there is a place called kelling heath

its a well nice campsite near a place called sherrimgam or something. so yeah, nice plce. good access to night life, nice little beach.

or minehead butlins is FUN man, real laugh x

[:Hazel]

UK holidays which are really cheap are haven ones, they cost nothing & its bound to be a laugh.

[Ostinato]

Haha ooh. Arn't Haven Holidays dear? =S Lol

[Kymux]

yeah, especially with matesx

[:Hazel]

Haha ooh. Arn't Haven Holidays dear? =S Lol

Haha I dno, thats a kinda old man thing my dad would do - haha.

I'm looking on their site just now, and for like a weeks stay or something divided by the amount of people going it would work out fairly cheap! :)

Cheers x

Not being horrible but why don't you do it yourself?

[:Hazel]

Theres no harm in asking for help.

[Ostinato]

Because it's the first time I've booked a holiday of such a nature in this country, therefore I have had no experience in the matter so am looking for people who perhaps have and could direct me in the right direction or perhaps offer good suggestions from experience. Is that okay? ;)

ive just had a thought. when i was younger my parents used to take me to pontins/butlins. i dunno what they are like for teens though, i bet butlins is quite expensive.

Aye thats alright down there, I went to some place called Cromer for a week or so last year. It was k, only like 30min or somethint from Norwich too which was fairly good.

[^.^]

www.caravancampingsites.co.uk/ that might be some help :)

[Papershop]

you cano hire caravans for haven sites through ebay etc. there alot cheeper than booking through the actual haven site. just thought id let you no

[clarissa !!]

BUTLINS!!!

[Papershop]

^^ is expensive

[splatttt]

http://www.havenholidays.com/Parks/norfolk/hopton/offers/

Its really nice in Norfolk been there a few times
They have Half Price holidays and stuff
And the caravans are huge!
;]

[YouFail]

I dont know if you would like to stay in Scotland but Fiskally Caravan Park at Pitlochry is awesome! I used to go as a kid :P

[hobo]

Come to the isle of lewis in the western isles, it has hundreds of beaches with caravan parks, and you only have to pay to get here and hire a caravan :P

and i live here so obv it owns.

[Browney]

Go to Yorkshire. 'Tis Rhubarb festival time! How romantic! :rolleyes:

Nah. But there are some pretty scenic areas in and around the north of England if you've never been.

[shiver]

you might aswell just go abroad, it's about the same price as a holiday in the UK now. somewhere like spain or france or w.e

[Jamie!]

I went to Pitlochry the other week, but I was staying in this place in Aberfeldy :P

[Ostinato]

I've decided I wanna go to Blackpool, hehe. Cause if I go elsewhere it's gomnna be a case of basically sitting around the campsite all day quite bored but with blackpool theres the pleasure beach and the tower and all that with loads of bars and stuff, lol.

So I'm looking for somewhere in blackpool! :P

I've found one site and it says it's prices start from £1.50 per person for a week - pmsl =S

http://www.highbank-farm.com/caravan_info.htm

[Browney]

Any holiday for £1.50 I would be wary off. Hehe.

[Jamie!]

Is that not just for them tourer caravans though? Or you looking at the holiday cottages on it?

Thats what I was thinking. I think you actually need to have on for their haha (which we don't haha).

[Liberation]

Well, it will be a long way to travel, so might be a no but Cornwall is a very nice place to go in a caravan etc...
But where ever you go, have fun <3

[Ashley 12344]

How cheap you trying to get?

You want a big park with on site bars/clubs etc + activities?

Filey/Scarborough never bad.

[efq]

i dnt no much bout uk. but i been to a place called pontins and haven. and butlins.

in norf of ukat bottem england i think

[cocaine]

centerparcs, maybe?

[Ostinato]

Centerparcs seems a bit dear, it's like 200pp for a week. I would liek that to go abroad, lol.

I'm looking for somewhere in blackpool maybe. I want 2 DOUBLE beds. I notice a lot of places only have 1 double and 2 twin or stuff, but we'd need 2 double lol.

I'm just looking for somewhere like a carvan really. Even if there isn't 2 double beds we could get 2 caravans with one in each which would be fine.

Keep them coming - I'll start giving rep out now. :)

[louder]

well, there's a place by me called river dart adventures, we go there all the time - like every year.
i think you should check it out, me and my friends love going there - i have some of the best memories there.
you need your own tent/caravan though.

That place looks great, thanks a lot.

What sort of prices is it though? I'd need 2 pitches, a tent for me and my girlfriend and a tent for 2 other people. I looked at the brochue thing and seen prices, but is that per night?

EDIT: okay, i've got a print screen of the payment thing.

i'll check now mate.
i think you can get both of you on one pitch though?

I don't know how it works haha. Also where abouts is it? Lol.

[Hazza]

I would suggest someone like spain or france for the 1st-14th July Then for canavans, Yesh blackpool is a wicked place to spend time with your friends.

There my suggestions!

[louder]

I don't know how it works haha. Also where abouts is it? Lol.

go to www.google.co.uk/maps (http://www.google.co.uk/maps) + type in
tq13 7np

that'll show you where it is.

I think it kinda rules it out. It's the very bottom of London in Devon and I'm away up in Glasgow, lol, so that'd cost liek a further £100 for a train ticket.

Cheers anyway.
