Frequently Asked Questions
We have detailed our most frequently asked questions in order to help you make your holiday choice. If you have any other questions please feel free to email them directly to us.
Question: How much booking deposit do I have to pay?
We require a booking deposit of £100.00 for each week booked (£150.00 for 9, 10, 11 and 12 nights).
Question: What is the €50 deposit?
Answer: When you arrive and are shown to your accommodation you will be asked to check the cleanliness and that all the self catering equipment is supplied. Once happy we then ask for a €50 cash deposit. This is held as a bond until your departure against any small breakages in the accommodation and so that you leave the accommodation clean and tidy as received. Our representatives will arrange a check out time with you the day before your departure. Please note that check outs must take place between 08:00 am and 10:00am on the day of departure, being either Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday (or on Camping Duinrell the arrival and departure days are Monday and Friday only). If you need to depart on a different day or before 08:00 please note that the €50.00 deposit is forfeited. Our campsite representatives are bound by the European working time directive and are unable to attend check outs outside our advertised periods.
Question: Is our holiday money protected?

We do print some in resort literature which can be picked up from our receptions at any of our campsites.
Question: Can I book over the telephone?
Answer: Yes however telephone bookings carry an additional €30 charge. Our prices online are priced to be as low as is possible. Our internal staffing requirements are reduced by online bookings. Telephone bookings require us to employ more staff and incur additional expenditure hence the additional charge to the booking.

All other mobile homes need to be checked in the accommodation description on the campsite page. If they have decking it will say "wooden terrace". Lodgetents have a wooden decking. Chalet Tents do not have decking. Please check at the time of booking if you are not sure. We hold detailed information on each campsite and can give you an exact answer.

Question: Do you have Representatives on Site?
Answer: Yes we do.
Question: Do you have a children’s club?
Answer: We run our own clubs on the majority of our campsites. If we do not run our own club we make sure we only work with campsites that run their own clubs with a dedicated fully qualified Children's Representative. Most of our campsites run these clubs in July and August .Children's clubs are free of charge. Again we reiterate it's one of the reasons why we can sell the holiday at a better price.

If the matter cannot be put right on the spot, detail of your complaint should be recorded on a Comment form available on request in resort. This should be signed by our representative once completed; you should keep a copy of the form, which together with an accompanying letter must be forwarded to our UK office address within 28 days of the completion of the holiday by recorded delivery.

Please note that in any event any compensation payable for claims against Selectcamp other than compensation for personal injuries will not exceed two times the cost of the holiday. Disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract, which cannot be amicably settled, may if you so wish be referred to arbitration under a special scheme, which though devised by arrangement with the Association of British Travel Agents is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme does not apply for claims over £1500 per person or £7500 per booking form or those, which are solely, or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness. The rules of the scheme provide that the applicant of arbitration must be made within nine months of the date of return of the holiday but in special circumstances it may still be offered outside this time period.
