Holidays for 17 year olds without an adult

When I was 17 I went abroad to spain with friends in the summer of lower 6th, we also had a couple of UK caravan park stays.

Is this a thing anymore? I've had a quick look and internet seems to suggest there needs to be at least one adult to make a booking.

Does anyone have any recommendations of companies, campsites etc as my DD and her friend are looking for a break this summer?

Thanks

I think most hotels will require an accompanying 18 year old on the booking?

Some kids do the festivals after exams - camping ticket for weekend or whatever - but imo they'd have to be very responsible and savvy - drink/drugs issues are well reported every year.

You could look into youth hostelling as an option maybe?
