If you want to take your children away but leave the modern time consuming computer devices at home, here are some entertaining activities that they’ll love. Read on to discover our top activities for camping kids to enjoy at the campsite.

 

Get Wet

Many of us parents have the sweet nostalgia of taking a fishing net to a stream as a child. Catching minnows and other water wildlife are all part of growing up and learning about nature.

If you want to take the children swimming, avoid the swimming pool and head to the sea. Some beaches even have tidal swimming pools that fill with sea water. Your kids will love it. Be attentive and cautious at all times.

Sometimes its the simple things that make the best memories! Get some buckets, a water hose and your swimming cozie and enjoy hours of water fun!

 

Rent Bikes

There are biking trails all over the country, with many accessible from camping sites. Take your time to explore and be adventurous as you travel through beautiful scenery. 

Tandems, baby bike seats and cargo bikes are usually available from most rental bike shops so biking around your holiday destination has never been easier for all ages in your party. 

 

 

 
Bird Watching

Buy a book on native birds of the UK and gen up on what you can find during your woodland and forest treks. You can even make a game of it as you look for the feathered species on walks and bike rides.

Bird watching is also a great educational tool for kids. If you have younger members of the family make it fun by teaching bird noises and actions. 

 

 

 

Educational Games

Teach the children about maps and compasses. Navigation when out walking is an important skill and something that you can teach as you go. Show them how to spot significant features in their surroundings and compare that information to the map.

This can easily becoming a game and not feel like school. Getting kids engaged in your campsite map is also fun. Who can find the laundry block, toilets and playpark. 

 

 

 

Create a Campfire

An essential of every camping experience, a campfire is a great place to enjoy toasting marshmallows on the end of a stick. You may also want to play some word games and tell stories and jokes to entertain and captivate.

Put down the devices and enjoy the moments with all the family!
