Anyone snuck three dogs into center parcs

Has anyone snuck an extra dog into center parcs? Really want to book one lodge for myself, husband, daughter and parents but we have three dogs between us.

Two of the dogs are same breed so could pass as one, but I’m working out how to you get past the entrance? Do they record number of dogs in each car?

I would hide the smallest one but she’s noisy 😆 so it would be our largest one who would need hiding as she’d keep quiet.

It’s two labradors and Jack Russell. Just seems expensive to pay for a whole extra lodge just to accommodate a dog!

If you haven’t booked already, the chances of getting a dog-friendly lodge for the dates you want are pretty slim let alone if you end up deciding you want two lodges! Elveden used to be impossible unless you booked about two years in advance.

When I searched the dates there were some options but I didn’t go to checkout so not sure if they were just illustrative

Can you disguise one as a cat 🐈 or a hamster? 🐹

Tbf the smallest one is cat sized 😆

Another reason not to waste money on going to Centre Parc

Its sold as a pretty exclusive holiday and now we have those that think the rules arent for them

Exclusive? Really? Have you never been 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

personally I wish they’d bang the prices right up and keep the riff raff out 👍

I think I will send an email, been looking up other posters alternative suggestions and like the look of Sandy Balls so far, so debating if that could work instead

Sandy Balls is great! There’s a pool on site, great walks on-site and obviously the New Forest on the doorstep. Plus there’s an aqua park in Poole (about 30 mins away) which has loads of slides, rapids etc.

Irrelevant you’ve got a lifetime ban anyway! 🤷‍♀️

You’re a fool and you’ve blown your cover, you aren’t fit to own a dog (or three!), the dogs will likely be ceased.

Poor dogs. Maybe OP should just cease and desist her plans. 😁

I think if I got a lifetime ban from CP I’d want that read out at my eulogy. Maybe even put on my tombstone. 😁

TheWeekOnTheDalymountSeat · 10/07/2026 23:33

I would definitely have a go. We went for my sisters hen weekend - despite their strict ‘No same sex groups’ policy. We’ve been going for years & never had cars checked x

I’m going to have to change this thread into “how do I sneak 3 dogs, 4 adults and a child into center parcs when I’ve be banned from booking”

Edited

Book under one of the dog's names and wear a hat and sunglasses to go through reception.

I’ve just remembered Dd and her bf went to CP unaccompanied when they were both under 21yo and lied a by their age and got away with it! Bloody rule breakers.

do they really have a no single sex groups policy? I went with 15 women once and nobody pretended to be a man……wasn’t a hen do though. Must have been a birthday.

Here's an idea. As (a) most people staying there will not be dog owners (b) people who aren't dog owners generally don't want dogs running all around the place, intimidating and / or annoying people or shitting, and (c) !there are rules limiting the number of dogs per each party, why not do
the decent thing and leave your bloody dogs in a kennel?

pastadish · 10/07/2026 23:43

Once they asked us to move coats on the am seat to see that we didn’t have another dog snuggled under there but they don’t usually check. However pretty poor behaviour to try to do that. Don’t go or pay for another lodge

Alternatively, the miserable sods who don't want a dog within 3 feet of them can book a non-dog-friendly holiday. All of the Center Parcs I've been to are in forests or by the beach and surrounded by miles and miles of walking routes/tracks, which is a stupid place to go if you hate dogs.

Unless, of course, you actually don't mind dogs and just enjoy having something to whine about, in which case, crack on.

Why do folk have to be so mean, sneaky and dishonest. I despair sometimes. I really do.

What 😭🤣🤣

Why are you being so obtuse to all the people coming on here to tell you that you should be honest and that what you’re thinking of doing isn’t right? Your replies are really odd.

This.

Cherrytree86 · 10/07/2026 23:48

Just do it, OP! No need for secrecy. I’m sure they’ll love your fur baby

Happyjoe · 10/07/2026 23:50

Disguise?

Anyone snuck three dogs into center parcs

😆 😆 because I’ve not asked people for opinions on this I’ve asked anyone has snuck a dog in.

I know it’s breaking the rules but that’s on me and my risk to take.

Hi, I haven’t read every reply that you have received, although I have seen some of the harsher ones. My in-laws once took an extra dog with them to Center Parcs (although this was more than 10 years ago). Nobody noticed or checked that they had three rather than the two dogs they had paid for. However, I remember them saying afterwards that it wasn’t great for the dogs as they aren’t welcome in most areas. I think there will definitely be other sites more suitable for families with dogs,

Teenagerantruns · 11/07/2026 00:19

So l would check in, leave one adult on local pub with a dog, drive out get some shopping pick up adult and dog..if they query where extra adult is say they getting train and meeting you later and you picking them up..
Make sure you leave dog that looks same at lodge just take the other they wont check you on way out..honestly its a non event whats the difference between 2 or 3 dogs no one will care.
