We spent years having great holidays at Harcourt Sands. From 1990 until 2004.. fantastic memories...food, accomodation, entertainment, & our chalets were always by the beach. Sitting on the wall, looking across the Solent. Anybody that stayed there, will know how very sad 😥 it is,. Ryde looks run down, and needs the camp to be revived for tourism. Wish I had a magic wand ...

I know exactly how you feel, I grew up on the Isle of Wight and my mum worked at puckpool holiday camp in the 1970s ,this was back when there were two camps next door to each other , the next door one being st Claire , I spent every summer holiday there joining in the activities and in 2005 after many years off the island I came back and I got a job there too, it was so much fun ,the layout had changed a lot by then of course but I was only there about 18 months before it closed it's doors forever , I can still see it in my mind's eye how it was back in the 70s and it's so sad what has become of it.
I worked there as a greencoat in 1976 and 77. I loved it. Flipper

Yes but I'm not going to post it here , just wondering that's all , I used to go there in the summer holidays, I remember Gus and a green coat called Dino ? And I think a woman green coat called Gina maybe had very green eyes and I wanted to look like her ha ha , it's all very hazy ,I was only about 11 in 76. I went on to work there in 2005 until it closed , absolutely loved it. I did a couple of Christmases there too, I was still very young but I helped out washing up behind the snack bar , Christmas of 1979 and 80.

@@alisonmike2912 i remember a tina who worked behind the bar but not in the photo booth. But yes, gus was my great mate, we had many beers together. He died sometime in the late 80s i think. I spoke to him weeks before he died. Thank you for replying to me as those memories of puckpool stay with me. A great place to work and iam still singing in pubs n clubs today!!. God bless you.

Thank you for replying too, no my mum never worked anywhere else except for the photo kiosk that I remember anyway, I'll ask her though as I said I was fairly young, she went on to work at Woodside bay but that was in the early 80s . What name did you go by when you were there ?
it's soo sad to see it like that then know how it looks now cuz ive been to see it last year and it's like a ghost town now!!!
used to work at at Clare's in the 80s happy times
Revive it as a Haven park again! It's still derelict since the park closed down......
It should have never shutdown:(((((((( it should have kept evolving:(
wow...what happened to it? It looked like such a fun place for the summer months. I looked at some of the videos after it was abandoned. What do citizens do for holiday now?
who did the theme music,?? sounds good
