It's best to check before you book, that the campsite you want really does like taking children.
The best campsites for kids are those that have plenty of large open spaces for children to have fun.
One of the campsites listed on my website will not entertain a child of any age at all, not even a babe
in arms, because they specifically want to appeal to older clients who like to read the paper and doze
off in the afternoon, but families who like making friends on holiday and prefer to be able to stay on
the campsite all day should first check out the websites thoroughly to see exactly what facilities
are on offer. These photos above are ones I took at the River Dart Country Park this year. It is absolutely full of things for children to be doing all day long. Find it in the list below and read my review if you have a minute.
