I was taken to this camp by my parents in 1960. I well remember the hike up and down the steps to get to Plemont Bay (arguably the best beach on Jersey). Nice to come across this video, for sentimental reasons, but sad to see the camp in such a state.....
Great video.I worked for Pontins as a musician in many of the camps around Britain and lived in Jersey for a few years where I met my wife.She worked there before we met.
I went there about 1990 with my mum and it was a brilliant place, the food was gorgeous, jersey royal spuds everyday with meals and gorgeous channel island milk which I have had a weakness for ever since. So sad to see holiday centres left to rot like that.
Fantastic video! Haunting & very moving of a place that has so many happy memories to people who holidayed there! I visted it back in 2008, and it was very spooky! I all ways felt as if some one was looking over my shoulder? Took many photo's of the place, and it still haunts me when I look at them! Thanks for getting this back up again!
excellent film , how did you get so much access - as a child who grew up in 70's 80's pontins and butlins for a week in school summer hols were the highlight of my year, ive seen similar film from the morcambe park.... a bit creepy and sad
Glad i followed the link from .... Love the video but alas a shame that another place left to rot. I am glad through the group I can see what has become of the Family camps that have been closed and abandoned. Keep up the reports
Went there today on my own, i'm 15 and like i was so desperate to go i cycled from The south to north plemont or whatever but seriously there's like still paints on the walls beds, washing machines, begs, mirrors (unsmashed) and like its so worth going but the pool has gone !! just go as soon as possible will u can!
Very creepy vid that. I worked there for one summer (1980) and remember Pontins as a lively and fun place to be then. All turns to to dust so they say.
That's so creepy and sad I never been to pontoons my mum did but I go to Butlins an if that ever happened to Butlins I would cry it's very creepy and sad but I bet like homeless people helper there and stuff so it has some use lol

I always find it very sad to see buildings that have fallen into disrepair, and see it as a reminder of the fact that everything dies.

I worked for a summer there in 1980. I feel sad for the poor, forlorn piano, that will never play again.
