If you’re planning a family holiday with your caravan, camper or motorhome, you’ll be pleased to hear that the UK offers plenty of family friendly campsites to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a site with on-site activities for the kids, family friendly facilities, or a safe location that little ones can explore on their bikes, there’s a campsite to suit your family. And there are great options in Europe as well if you’ve got the travel bug to go further afield. Here are just a few ideas to help you plan a family adventure you’ll never forget.
The UK has a fantastic array of festivals and events from April to September, with many being family friendly, or specifically geared towards children. From yoga and spa activities for the adults, to archery, circus skills and crafting for kids, you’ll find plenty on offer as well as live music and a camping adventure for your whole gang. What better way to introduce your little ones to the world of festivals than taking your very own home on wheels to relax in after a long day of fun!
If you like nothing better than sampling the local delicacies on offer when you go on holiday, food festivals are also a great way of supporting business in the area (and a tasty alternative to cooking at camp!).
For those who prefer a quieter experience, why not plan your touring trip around visiting a pick your own farm and come away with a delicious haul of summer fruits! Or if you’re heading out in late Summer or Autumn then hit the pumpkin patch to get your vehicle looking suitably spooky. Not only is this a great day out for the whole family, you’ll have all the ingredients for a delicious crumble or pie to take home with you.
The UK boasts an incredible variety of beaches, from the wild North coast of Scotland to pretty Welsh villages in Pembrokeshire, sand dunes in Norfolk and fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast. Whether you’re after a day with the buckets and spades, a quiet spot for nature watching or exploring the coastline by bike or on foot, there are literally hundreds of campsites to choose from for your caravan or motorhome holiday. And the best news is an ice cream is never far away!
