It will be refurbished by the Home Office and SERCO for housing our uninvited 'guests', just like several other Pontins camps. It is all part of the plan to get them out of the 4* hotels.
It's a hole by any stretch... I particular like the bug infested swamp in the middle. However, put some razor wire fences and guard towers up and it would make a good migrant holding camp. And it's near the sea which they all seem to like so much.
So sad to watch. I remember staying there when I was 9 years. Back in 1976 I had toothache throughout the holiday. But in them days we just had to put up with it hoping it will go. Went to the dentist the following Monday. Didn't have to make long awaiting appointments back then . Best of times.
Really sad seeing it in such a dilapidated state. I stayed there as kid in the 90s a few times. We lived in Blackpool and often went over to Southport for a week, or abroad. RIP Captain Croc, thank you for the great childhood memories. ❤
Hope someone buys it soon and gives it a good makeover. It’s a shame because it’s bigger than a haven or Parkdean resort, all that space going to waste. Butlins could probably do a great job on it, modernise the chalets, bring the closed activities back to life. And just look at that coastline…it could be amazing just needs a thorough makeover!
Sad to see it going like that, I worked there at end of the 80's into the 90's for five seasons in the Games Room, the shop, and bike hire place, met some lovely people, guests and staff. It was run by Scottish and Newcastle Breweries then, who did a decent job in my opinion. I also helped out, out of season and remember having the job of cleaning all of those front Chalet windows haha took me a week started at Chalet 1 and worked my way around, and then started again, great little job the Sun out and my radio on then started again. Pontins were great, for giving staff they trusted out of season work, I couldn't complain and have great memories from 35 years ago, which can never be taken away ❤
Had some great times here and met some amazing people memories to last a lifetime it may look run down but the weekends here was amazing it makes me sad looking at this hoping a Butlin’s or someone like that refurbs it with that beautiful coast ❤️
@@paultetlow5367 Paul, people have become greedy and materialistic. They are holiday snobs. These holiday centres were perfectly good enough for people in the 60's and 70's. I don't like what people have become. Spain isn't even good enough now! If it's not on the other side of the world then it's not keeping up with the Jones's.
@@neilhilton35 ,wouldn't know, never been. I left school in 1986, and all the money I have left after the government has had their share, I've spent in the UK.
Good to see the layout . A typical build for 70's/80's, like a council estate. Flat roofs also. Such a shame. Memories must be good, for lots of people who visited here, in its heyday. Keeping up with maintenance and new health and safety regulations, is a costly game.
Went on a sun holiday when kids were little. There were a couple of chalets that had been renovated, others were rough. Plastic chairs, cheap stained mattresses and they had replaced the top opening window with pvc but left the rest as wood. Cooker was ancient and shower looked like something out of phsyco. Nice view of the skips though.
Holidayed there several times in the 70's as a kid. Great times, I remember riding round on those twin bikes with a canopy and bench seat! So sad its come to this...
Stayed here for a couple of nights (4.5 years go). Two nights was all I could stand. Went back home early. Maybe that's the deterrant for our new arrivals.
Pontins Camber Sands was the pits. Popped in there once about 10 yrs ago as we were using the beach nearby and thought we would have maybe an overnight stay there. Took one look and drove straight back out again.! Such a shame because back in the 90s it was a fantastic place.
Been hear oh my what a funny and a rough rusty place. Remember seeing the dump and trashy bins even from the window sight. The food was a tasted like it fell off a lorry.
This will be used to house immigrants from outside the continent of Europe. They did the exact same thing here in Ireland. We used to have a similar family resort called Mosney, previously owned by Butlins. The government bought it and is still housing illegal immigrants. The Irish Government is stripping away every piece of Irish culture we have.
They are not illegal immigrants. They are migrants who have arrived to our country, awaiting assessment, seeking asylum in the UK. Once assessed, they will either be granted asylum in the UK or deemed here illegally and required to leave. Please have some compassion and correct information.
My family went to this location in 71-73 it was nice n new back then, fond memories, The Chalets were perfect just like all other Fred Pontin's locations, they were good cheap fun holidays, its sad but typical of how these sites get over time, I can see it getting turned into a caravan park or knocked down for home builders.
Having driven past here many times I had no idea how big it is. My wife is from Southport and said she went to an overnight rave here about 30 years ago 😂
I went to a Clubland Weekender there a couple of years back, as a venue for what is effectively a festival it was great but crap if that was your summer holiday!
I visited around 12 years ago with my family and sadly it was dirty back then. I remember I brought a chocolate bar from the onsite shop and I was ill throughout the night
Only thing to do with that is either strip all the rooms back to bare bones, fix any issues and upgrade everything to modern standards as everything is so old, out dated, poorly maintained, etc... OR knock it all down and build a fresh new complex.
It needs a complete refurbishment and not demolition. The ecology of this planet and it's limited resources means we cannot just bulldoze and waste materials any longer.
The one thing these places needed to survive were people. Both from the obvious economic standpoint but also to give them vibrancy, energy and sense of life that was their main selling point. Once they were mostly empty the writing was on the wall.
I was a bluecoat when it opened ,opened Prestatyn the year later i 1972,1973 then went to pontius Barton Hall it so sad to see these great old holiday camp is now broken and deralict it doesn't seem like yesterday lm,e now 76
Great video….sad to see the place so run down, , can you do the nearly finished iomspco ferry berth at Liverpool, just a few hundred metres from Everton’s new ground 👍😉🇮🇲😊
@@DroneLife22 i belive berthing trials are to begin end of February beginning of March, and the terminal will be in use from some time mid March onwards 👍🇮🇲👌
Interesting place, I guess it's showing it's age and might be in need of renovating? There seems to be some flooding going on, with the fence around it? I've added your channel hopefully you'll connect with another drone pilot?
There is a drain from the old boating lake 'flooded area' into the sand dunes outside the camp, either the newer people didn't know about this drain or it was allowed to flood to enable them to claim it was beyond economical repair, with britannia I firmly believe the second option.
@@donkeykong7777 Wouldn't surprise me one bit, when they took over, I'll bet all the previous staff were laid off, that knowledge about the drain and how to maintain it would have been lost.
Sad to see went on many a holiday as a child but to Prestatyn we booked Southport one year I was maybe 10 my mother wouldn’t stay there as it was flea infested and had cupboard doors hanging off in the kitchen and what looked like chip fat all over the work surfaces she complained upon arrival and check in they moved us back down the coast to our more familiar Prestatyn then as I got older and into my teens used to go to the Pontins snooker Pro-Am tournaments! Had many a great time there!! It’s a sad shame!
Nice footage dude, it brought back some nice and not so nice memories. I worked there for over 4 years on the maintenance team around the 2010 time, shit wages but we had a great time working with some nice people and some lovely guests. It's such a shame it was taken over by the meanest, vilest, most horrible, tight arsed people imaginable, britannia. The mega millionaire owner used to visit the place in his helicopter and walk around the site in an old, stained, scruffy white suit which may have fitted him at some point in the previous ten years, he used to carry his stuff around in an old scrunched up supermarket plastic bag, a total fkin peasant. I hope someone takes it on and makes the place what it could and always should have been. It's so sad and the poor staff were treated at the end exactly the way we were all treated from the second they took over 😱
Fabulous drone footage!!. I stayed there once for an 80's weekend and lasted one night. The entertainment was great, the accommodation was disgusting 😢
Its so sad seeing all these holiday parks closing down, we had lovely memories at these pontins and Butlin's camps in the 70s and 80s , i suppose its because of cheap abroad packages these days .but this one looks like its been years not 5 day closed .
Far to many flat roofs that would need repairing on an annual basis. Plus over 65 years of internal structural damage. Unfortunately better to sell off the site and rebuild a new development on this site. Sad, but that's how big companies see these kinds of financial losses and have to make hard but sometimes unliked decisions on hard working local communities. That relay on them for their bread and butter.
Maybe it could be purchased by Government and house refugees. If The have skills They could renovate The place and show people what a contribution They would make. Britain could show imagination and compassion that might encourage peace in a dangerous world.
It used to be great back in the 70’s you could buy day passes and use all the facilities, we spent many happy days there meeting lots of people (boys 😆) from all over the country. It went downhill when Brittania took over and has been a dump for years.
I think many of the comments will go along the lines of how come this place did not close down for Good over 20 years ago. It looks like a prison camp and without taking any side it will make a great detention centre. you could film some sort of dystopian movie here.
Let the homeless people have it. And build workshops for community building groups. Schooling for the less fortunate. And playgrounds for the worst underprivileged children. Lets try to build steps to making England great again.
When the camp was built, the flooded area was originally a boating lake, it was only later filled in to make a grassed area. There is a drain which leads out into the sand dunes which sometimes needs clearing, i'm not sure how many of the 'new' people even know that drain exists. Or indeed if it was even allowed to flood to give them the excuse needed to say the camp is beyond economical repair.
What they should do is sell everything off,pay any outstanding monies they owe,and share the proceeds equally with the laid off staff,including the managers and owners getting an equal share.
I was born in 1969 in Manchester we later moved to Southport and have photos in little slide things of me and my parents…. We never went again lol we would just go to the fun fare
Ideal for boat people so close to the sea 🌊 just in case they want to go back home 👍
Yea, not that many are coming from across the Irish sea😂
Very shallow around there anyway. Southport is basically on a massive sand bank.
Probably not up to their exacting standards.
It's amazing how it's been closed for 5 says but looks like its been abandoned for 5 years. Great vid.
Thanks for the comment. Appreciated.
Yes. Long since abandoned of any meaningful investment.
It really does look sad and neglected, what a waste..excellent video.

that is quite depressing, Back in the 70s they seemed like decent little holiday camps now they're going to be literal prison cells
My thoughts too. It's ideal for what they're looking for.
It’ll be knocked down and developed into a housing estate for the new arrivals given time ? 🤬
My thoughts exactly ✌️ Well said.
@@banksyc473 It’ll stay as it is. A basic roof over the head with living facilities. Very little else is required to be honest
It's a hole by any stretch... I particular like the bug infested swamp in the middle. However, put some razor wire fences and guard towers up and it would make a good migrant holding camp. And it's near the sea which they all seem to like so much.
spot on
I thought that's what it would be used for.
Well done on getting some culture war bollocks on a bus about a holiday camp.
So so very special.
And most of the refugees are used to this type of slum anyway
How cruel, sending them to pontings
So sad to watch. I remember staying there when I was 9 years. Back in 1976 I had toothache throughout the holiday. But in them days we just had to put up with it hoping it will go. Went to the dentist the following Monday. Didn't have to make long awaiting appointments back then . Best of times.

Memories will always stay….hopefully it has a future
I hope so too. All of it can be made good and provide holidays for years to come.
If people would holiday in this country instead of flying abroad at every opportunity, places like this might survive.

"Welcome to Bibby Pontins. Hi-De-Hi!"
You get a better view from 2000 feet above it. It’s not one circle but concentric circles.

Great comment.., I bet it was so different back then?
The land is probably worth more than what the holiday park makes!
Considerably more! The other two pontins that closed recently have had housing suggested as uses for them
That would be an amazing site for haven
I used to deliver there. Was a dump years ago!
Was dump in the 90s when I used to go to music weekenders there
I can 100% see why they closed they have put no investment into upkeep or refurbishment. good vid though the buildings have a unique layout
Easy access from the sea
Have some great memories at Southport weekender there.

The thumbnail, and again at 4:40 reminded me of an aerial shot of a high-security prison...... I'm sure that's not a coincidence.
I bet it was amazing for the kids when it 1st opened
Probably the place to be seen back then
If you know what your doing you could try do a photogrammetry scan of the area then it could be constructed into a 3D model.
Asylum seekers paradise.
Ideal housing complex for BRITISH homeless or needy.
I think if britania hotels didn't own it I think it would have improved as britania hotels neglected maintenance on their properties
It looks like a prison or part of Chernobyl
Fabulous drone footage!!. I stayed there once for an 80's weekend and lasted one night. The entertainment was great, the accommodation was disgusting 😢
Looks like a high security prison from above.
Can we have a Monthly update to see whats going on if anything please
If it’s useful to people then yes. Might be more bi-monthly though if I’m honest
Can you do a drone view over Pontins Pakefield mate?
I’m not from that area I’m afraid, bit too far for me.
Was it ever renovated? I don’t want to see the inside of those lodges after seeing the outside.

wouldnt wish pontins on anyone the homeless have enough problems with out putting them in this s*** hole
No let the rubber men have it.
that would be nice,shame rubber dingy men will have it.
Its impressive no matter how you look at it , but a dated concept since package hols became a thing ,,,
how many migrants would it house though ??
Worst part about this is the locals losing their jobs. It’s not their fault they didn’t invest
What will they use it for now then, an immigration centre ? I’m sure this country’s homeless need it more.
I bet the security is high
It is being guarded currently…same as I’ve heard the other closed pontine are
Only Pontins could make a lake feature out of a flooded patch of grass and label it as a refurbishment 😂
When the camp was built, the flooded area was originally a boating lake, it was only later filled in to make a grassed area. There is a drain which leads out into the sand dunes which sometimes needs clearing, i'm not sure how many of the 'new' people even know that drain exists.

Shame that from the air it really does resemble a low security prison (if you ignore the go kart track and other amusements).
It doesn't look any different close up, even the barbed wire and concrete wall is shaped to keep people inside
The go kart track is for people that think GTA is educational.
Remember them building that fro scratch 🤔
Good memory you’ve got
