Canvas Holidays Reviews

I've just returned from a week in Guines, France staying in a 2 bedroom caravan owned by canvas, I knew which site I wanted to be on, checked the competition and Canvas came out the cheapest - £301 for 3 of us including the tunnel crossing for a week. The booking process was easy, all done online, the only thing I didn't like ...  Read the complete review

We have been going on holiday with Canvas Holidays for over 10 years now. In the beginning, the service was incredible! The maxi tents that they used, were of really high quality, you were presented with a bottle of wine, when you arrived, and they could never do enough for you.

We went to 3 sites with Canvas in June 2002. We took advantage of the lower prices and the 3rd week free offer and had 18 nights in mobile homes. We stayed in Steinach (nice small site) in the Black Forest which is in lovely countryside. The rep had maps of local walks and a fair few of them could be started on foot from the campsite.

Ok now be honest, what is it about camping that puts you off? Is it the cold and rain, the hassle of erecting a tent before you can settle down? The uncomfortable sleeping arrangements? The basic cooking arrangements? Or the inconveniences of hauling your equipment round like a tortoise? How would it be if I were to explain ...  Read the complete review
