I know that many of you will be too young to remember, but what comes to my mind is 50's and 60's Butlins 'oliday camps!
I am sorry if some people think that Butlins was/is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I only have one instance where we went to one very close to Blackpool in the early 60's we had booked and paid, we didn't even get out of the car. Dad said words to the effect of I'm not staying here and we turned around!
