Great review on Hostelworld…well done, Butterfly!
Hi everyone,
Just to say a huge thanks and well done to Adrian, Diane & Jim on Butterfly who have received a 100% positive review from one of our Hostelworld clients online!
Happy Camp Lake Garda is fantastic value for money! For a very reasonable price you get a clean mobile home with it’s own kitchen and bathroom. This means you can cook for yourself, which keeps costs down even more. Furthermore, the camp is only a short walk from the station and town centre, AND is on the banks of the stunning lake. The staff were very welcoming and helpful…we could not fault this place.
First post of the 2011 season – and it’s from Norcenni
Welcome back everyone! Hope you all had a lovely winter break and are settling into campsite life. For those of you working with Happy Camp for the first time, welcome to the blog!
I’m happy to say I have lots of photos for the first post of the season. These were sent by Mick and Mary, who are our Park Managers on Norcenni Girasole in Tuscany this season. Mick has taken some great pictures of the mobiles on site following montage. Thanks very much and keep the pictures coming!
End Of Season Party
Just a quick post from me to say that I had a fantastic time last night at the end of season party and I hope you all did too. It was lovely to meet so many of you after speaking to you all many times on the phone throughout the season. A lot of people told me I’m a lot shorter than I sound on the phone!
I’ll be around for a little while yet, so if you have any more great stories feel free to send them over. For those of you I didn’t get to speak to and for those who didn’t make it, I hope you all had a fantastic season and I look forward to speaking to many of you next year!
Take care, huge hugs and lots of giggles from Laura 😉 xx
Norcenni: A customer find, a Flintstones tribute act and another game of ‘guess the Happy Camp person’
Fiona, Penny and Jess (the lovely ladies at Norcenni who sent me a picture of their feet a couple of months ago), have just emailed me some more great pictures for the blog. Fiona has been trying to send these to me for about a week, I think – they got here in the end, one by one! 🙂
First up, I am told this was a fantastic customer find, but I’m afraid I can’t actually see what it is! It looks a bit like a bottle of olive oil, but as all couriers in Italy end up with at least ten of those in their live by the end of the season I wouldn’t have thought it was that exciting! Maybe something a bit stronger? Grappa? Limoncello? Another new cleaning product for 2011? Answers on a tacky Italian postcard, please.
Secondly, a Wilma Flintstone tribute act appear to have (Bed)rocked up on Norcenni (see what I did there? If you didn’t, don’t worry, it’s probably for the best) and taken over the Happy Camp reception for the day. Looking fabulous, by the way!
Yabbadabbadooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Yabbadabbadoooooooooooooooo!!
Next up, having a bit of a Playschool moment here (yes, I AM old, thanks for noticing) Let’s have a look through the round window. I think there’s a bit of a Happy Camp theme going on here too. Can you guess which sunglasses belong to which courier?
I’m going to move on to the next picture before I start sounding like Floella Benjamin.
Finally, the caption the girls sent me for this one was “You ain’t seen me, right?”
Match the glasses to the feet!
And with this, I think the mystery of the feet has been revealed!! Have a look at the picture in the right-hand column of this blog (under “A ‘step’ too far?”) and see if you can decide…
Rais Gerbi have been airing their dirty laundry in public…
…but only due to adverse weather conditions! Here’s the latest update from Pat & Eric:
This is my Brad returns (yes dirty linen – no not dirty women) hanging out to dry after our reception tent was waterlogged for four consecutive days following continual torrential rain and horrendous thunder and lightening storms. Our paradise isle turned into a nightmare. It was not a pretty sight I can assure you. Hey ho the joys of being a Happy Camp Park Manager.

J’adore les vaches a’ l’exterieur de votre reception!! xx

Don’t worry, Gordon & Suzi – you just managed to send these in before the competition closed!

This is an updated post, with pictures that were sent on the 31st of July – sorry Andy & Loretta, no-one told me you’d sent another email with a further 9 pictures in it!
How's your season going?
