Youtuber describes Pontins as 'warzone' and finds hair in fridge

A Youtuber shared his experiences staying in Southport's Pontins holiday camp and branded the site a "warzone".

Tim Lindon, who runs a travel channel called Walk With Me Tim, decided to spend the night in the Southport camp which has over 2,000 'terrible' reviews on Trip Advisor. The 700 chalet home was built in 1970 at the height of the British Holiday Camp Industry.

Although many camps have since closed in the face of stiff competition from cheap package holidays abroad, Southport remains part of the Pontins empire and continues to operate as a holiday camp. The video was posted to Tim's YouTube channel on May 31 and has already racked up over 80,000 views.
