Even the trend for "staycation" holidays has failed to improve business at the
company. All five Pontin's resorts would continue to trade for the time being,
said a spokesman for KPMG, the administrator.
Around 850 staff are employed at the camps, in locations including Camber
Sands in Sussex and Prestatyn Sands in Wales.
