When considering children’s holidays in France, Italy and Spain, what comes immediately to mind are camping holidays in the countryside or a beach location that will give all the family as much freedom as possible without overly denting the holiday budget. Camping resorts these days also provide much in the way of sophisticated mobile home holiday living which is far removed from the uncompromising family tent.

Facilities on camping sites are well set up for family holidays and parents will probably not see their older children for most of the holiday. Campsites are often placed near to the beach which gives an added dimension to the holiday fun. Both parents and children have the freedom to enjoy the thrills and spills of the beach, water sports and the open sea, but the campsite with its endless facilities is also on tap. So when a long hot day of swimming and beach fun is over, the nightly discos provide entertainment for parents and children alike. Campsites also provide for younger children too where there are designated play areas, plus swimming pools for more contained family enjoyment.

Camping sites will always provide the ultimate in kids’ holidays purely by fact that they cater so beautifully for all the family. It is the informality of the camping site where both children and adults are free to do exactly what they want. Adults can relax round the pool, enjoy the beach, and the local bars at night firm in the knowledge that their children are safe, also having fun and making new friends.
