I have a feeling that the problem last year occurred where a parking space had been sold. The unscrupulous person knew the name of the seller, arrived before the buyer, gave the sellers name and so stole it.
Unless all details are given at booking, or a reference number is given (and they do issue a booking number when you book your chalet, so that could be used) this is quite hard to prevent.
Oops, we're going to buy our parking tickets for VLV at Storm (hopefully), but it was Bliss we could only get 1 parking slot for instead of the 2 we needed for the whole of our chalet. I wasn't booking it so don't know if that's all that we were allowed to have or whether that was all that was left.
I thought that a parking permit system was being implemented this year or am I wrong?
I don't know what was in place before (never been to Camber) but I thought that something was being put in place (slips being sent out to people who have booked? ). I may have got the wrong end of the stick.
What they could do is this:
- give the people at the gate a list showing the names of lead names and the booking reference number that you get from the website when you book
- make sure lead names know the reference number and (if they've booked a couple of spaces) tell the other car drivers in their party
That way, to get a parking place you'd need to know the surname and booking reference- which is a combination you'd find it hard to guess. Plus you don't need to send out anything in the post - you'd just need an email explaining the system.
Simples...
However I have no idea if they're actually doing anything of the sort.

No you don't - the idiots simply don't get to park the first night if they've not bothered to get the information from their lead booker! Simples... (yes, I am in a mean mood)

Just to let you all know...
Last night, I was speaking to someone at UTOPIA, who told me they'd been sent a 'parking voucher/permit' in the post!
With that, I immediately turned to someone else standing next to me and asked if they'd paid for parking at Camber and if so, had they received a voucher ?" to which they replied "Yes".. they both got them about 10 days ago!
Apparently, the recipient writes their car reg on it, then hands it in on arrival.
If everyone who's paid for parking gets one sent to them, I think it will solve the problem completely.

System could still work though. If the person has the registration number of the car that is supposed to be parking to give to the guys on the gate and/or a paper parking permit and/or the booking reference number.
Clearly the system needs to be improved thanks to certain people's dishonesty.![]()
