Why? Are you a 'welcomer' Red Coat?
You have confirmed what I have always suspected about such places, there is one near Liverpool you might like to help out with your memories?

I think the nearest one to Liverpool is Pwllheli - not very near at all (we're probably nearly as close here in Walsall).
There IS however a 'Pontins' near where I grew up (Ainsdale). Seen better days now (as I think almost all these 'camps' have), but it was always a fun day out as a kid in the heatwave summers of the 70s. Crazy golf, pedallos and outdoor swimming pools, with aunties and uncles puffing away on cigarettes and eating sandwiches.
