Website information

Allcamps have done their utmost to ensure that the contents of this website are correct as of September 30th 2022. Campsites and suppliers may change their facilities or accommodation information at any time and Allcamps will endeavour to up-date this website as soon as notification of such changes are received. We do not accept liability for any changes, errors or omissions. Obvious errors and mistakes on our website are not binding and we reserve the right to amend these.

Booking your holiday and payments

Whether you book online, by phone or by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail confirmation for your booking. In this confirmation you will receive instructions on the required deposit and the time limit for the deposit to be paid. Payments must be in € (EURO) and can be made by bank transfer or credit card within the time specified on your confirmation. If payments are not received within the specified time then the holiday will be cancelled and any charges incurred will be payable by you. The cancellation fee depends on the date on which you want us to perform your cancellation.  A minimum cancellation fee of 30% applies to all bookings (regardless of whether a deposit/payment has been made or not).  There is no bank charges if you pay by bank transfer. 

The deposit is 25% of the holiday cost, to be paid within 3 days. The balance of the holiday cost should be received in full no later than 8 weeks before you are due to travel.  Bookings made less than 8 weeks before departure must be paid for in full at the time of booking. If the total balance is not received, Allcamps reserves the right to cancel the holiday and any charges incurred will be payable by you. As accommodation starts to fill up it may not be possible to get an immediate confirmation for your booking request. In this situation you will receive a message that your booking is on request. Please note that if the accommodation requested is available this will immediately become a confirmed booking.

How does it work

When you book a holiday on request we contact the supplier on your behalf to enquire if they still have the required accommodation available. It can take up to 3 days for us to get a reply. We will then send you one of the following replies: 

  • The request is available: Your request will instantly become a confirmed booking. An invoice will be dispatched via email within 24 hours. PLEASE NOTE: Should you then wish to cancel, cancellation fees will apply. 
  • The request is not available: Should the supplier not be able to accommodate you, we will contact you by phone or email in order to try and find a suitable alternative holiday. 

YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS ON THE BASIS OF AN ON-REQUEST NOTIFICATION

Cancellation

If you wish to cancel your booking for any reason you must notify Allcamps as soon as possible. On the date that the cancellation is received the cancellation charges below apply, expressed as a percentage of the total holiday cost. All days stated represent the number of days between your arrival day at the campsite and the date that the cancellation was notified to Allcamps.

Should you exceed the maximum number of people allowed, you may be refused entry to the accommodation and/or campsite. A mini-tent (max. size 2.00 x 2.00 mtr) cannot be used to maximize or exceed the number of people allowed in the accommodation. Mini-tents are not allowed on some campsites.

In this case your cancellation fee is outlined above and this payment cannot be transferred to a new supplier. If possible we may be able to make changes to your booking with your original supplier and in this case, you will also be charged for any increased costs arising from the changes that you make to your accommodation booking plus the amendment fee. 

If you make any changes to your booking which result in a price reduction, the cancellation fees stated above will apply to the amount of this price reduction, at the moment of notification of the change. If we cannot make your requested change and you do not wish to continue with your holiday then your booking will be deemed as cancelled with effect from the date that the change was requested and the normal cancellation charge will apply. We reserve the right to refuse any changes to your booking.

Extra nights should be requested and paid to the representatives on the campsite or at the main reception.

In many cases you will be required to pay a cash deposit when you check in, which will be returned, if the accommodation has been left as you found it on your arrival. You may also be required to pay a local tourist tax on arrival. On your day of departure, checkout is in the morning at the time stated on your travel documents. If you arrive later or depart earlier than your reserved dates, there will be no refund for the unused part of your booking and this will also entitle the supplier to resell the accommodation.

Accommodation property of the campsite

The accommodations on this website are the property of campsites or recognized suppliers. The responsibility for management and maintenance of these accommodations is therefore with these campsites or suppliers.

Your accommodation

When you make your booking you agree to accept the accommodation allocated to you by the campsite representative, irrespective of any special requests that you made at the time of booking. If you are not happy with the condition or cleanliness of the accommodation you should report this immediately. It is your responsibility to look after the accommodation and equipment during your holiday. You will be liable for any loss and/or damage to the accommodation and/or equipment, regardless if it was due to lack of due care and attention, or a third party. There may be subtle differences in the appearance and layout of the accommodations. Pitches for tents and mobile homes may vary in size and shape, even on the same campsite. In some instances it is not possible to use the tent awning. Allcamps reserves the right to claim for damages and/or loss to accommodation and/or equipment during your stay. If damage and/or loss is detected you should report this to your campsite representative as soon as possible. This will ensure the issue and any associated problems can be resolved on site. The holidays in this programme are based on a single family with one car. Any variation in this may cause problems at some campsites and this will be at your own risk and cost. It is not always possible to park near to your accommodation and you may have to park in the campsite car park. On some campsites motorcycles are not allowed. Beds and mattresses may be different to what you are used to at home. In most cases the maximum length of the beds is 1.90 m (unless otherwise stated) and a double bed may be made up of two separate mattresses. All our accommodations are non-smoking. Electric heaters (and where applicable air conditioning units) should be operated in an environmentally correct and responsible manner. When in use close all windows and doors and switch off the electric heater or air conditioning unit when you are not at your mobile home.

Special requests and guarantee next to eachother

If you are travelling together with one or more families, we appreciate that you would like to be next to each other. Or you might prefer a shady pitch, or to be near the pool. You should give us your special request at the time of booking and this will be sent to your campsite representative. We will do our utmost to accommodate your request but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it. Booking early or being a returning Allcamps customer does not offer a guarantee or improve your chance of securing your special request. It really depends whether an accommodation is available to suit your request on your arrival day. If your special request is not be possible, you will not be informed of this in advance. There is no charge for such special requests. However with some accommodation types you can book a guaranteed “next to each other” special request for a fee of appr. € 30 per accommodation (max. 3 accommodations for the same dates). Allcamps will then guarantee that you will be next to each other. Next to each other also includes back to back, diagonally across, as long as there is no other accommodation between your accommodation and that of the other party/parties. If we fail to honour your guaranteed “next to each other” special request; you will receive a refund of the money you paid for this request.

Campsites

We accept no responsibility for any loss, theft, damage or injury incurred during your stay. The majority of campsites offer a personal safe hire service at the main reception. Allcamps guests must respect the Campsite rules and regulations. Should these be ignored, Allcamps and the campsite reserve the right to deny further access to the accommodation and/or the campsite. In these circumstances Allcamps will give no refunds. Most campsites ask for night time silence normally between 22:00-07:00. In Italy there can be siesta period normally between 13:00-15:00. During both of these periods there is no vehicle access into or out of the campsite. Some campsites issue barrier cards for vehicle access and/or personal identity bands. Personal identity bands must be worn at all times. You may be charged a deposit for barrier cards and /or personal identity bands, which you may not get back if you lose them. The campsite representatives are not entitled to make decisions on behalf of Allcamps. The Campsite Representatives are not allowed to engage in any commercial or non-commercial arrangements with you, and Allcamps accepts no liability for any damage, injury, loss of enjoyment or expense caused to you by such arrangements. Outside of the High Season period (July and August), the campsite management reserve the right to withdraw or restrict campsite facilities and this is reflected in the lower price of holidays during the Low Season. Please check at the time of booking if there is an activity which is key to your holiday. Some facilities in Italy may be closed during the siesta period. Stated opening and closing dates/times of campsite facilities, e.g. swimming pools and activities, are subject to change. Pool regulations vary and some campsites insist that you wear swimming hats. Swim shorts are not always allowed in swimming pools. Some campsites close their pools from time to time for routine cleaning and maintenance. Campsites may charge for use of certain facilities and/or activities. Mini-Tents (max. size 2.00 x 2.00 mtr) are allowed on certain campsites only. You must keep your mini-tent and all belongings within the confines of your pitch. You must notify us at the time of booking if you are taking a mini-tent. Allcamps do not supply mini-tents.

And finally

Please bear in mind that however comfortable the accommodation is or however wonderful the facilities are; this is still a campsite holiday. To those who have never been to a campsite it is worth noting that most of the campsites are fully booked in July and August. Should your priority be privacy, peace and quiet when on holiday, we’d recommend that you avoid these months. Furthermore a holiday abroad means different people, ways of life, culture and values and this should be taken into account when booking your holiday.
