Why Camping is a Great Holiday For Kids

By Kikini Hen


When it comes to choosing holiday destinations for you and your kids, it can be quite hard to find somewhere that ticks all the right boxes. The balance between finding somewhere nice that you will enjoy, yet still having plenty to keep the kids entertained can be a tough one to get right.

Camping is an ideal holiday for children as they tend to love being outdoors and the sense of adventure that camping brings. If you've never been camping before, you'd be amazed at the quality of facilities some campsites offer, and how many campsites there are out there.

Many people are originally attracted to camping because it's such a cheap holiday option. A traditional family holiday can run into thousands of dollars, whereas you could easily have a short camping holiday for a could of hundred dollars. Even if you have no camping gear, this can also be purchased relatively cheaply. Another option is to ask around, as many people have tents that are not used regularly. If you are budgeting for a camping trip you'll need to find out how much campsites charge to pitch a tent for the night, and then it's really just down to food and entertainment such as days out.

Children always tend to have a lot of fun on a camping holiday. Most campsites are very family orientated which makes it very easy to meet and play with other kids of a similar age. If you're camping near a tourist area, then the chances are there'll be a good choice of activities to do in the local area. You could also take a load of your own games and entertainment with you. Popular camping activities include huge games of football, cycling, volleyball and more. In short, the more imaginative you can be, the more fun you will have!

We'd highly recommend going camping if you have the choice. If you don't think you can hack a full weekend in a tent, why not go for a weekend break? Give it a go, we bet you'll love it!
