Is caravanning the ultimate child-friendly holiday?

In today's economy affordability is key, with more people than ever looking into self catering options

Caravanning could be a great way for families to enjoy child-friendly breaks away, especially of they pitch up at a well-equipped site.

Conrad Doyle, co-founder of reviews and recommendations website childfriendly.co.uk, said it can be hard for parents to find suitable holiday options for themselves and their kids.

He pointed out that for many families, affordability is key, with more people now looking into self catering options.

Of course caravanning fits the bill in this respect, as site fees for motorhomes can be inexpensive and there’s no need to visit a restaurant every evening.

Amenities are another important factor for families during their holidays, said Mr Doyle. Parents are looking for kiddie clubs and play parks to keep the little ones entertained. Many caravan parks offer such facilities.

“A lot of the research that we have seen tends to indicate that what parents want most is just for their children to have a good time in a welcoming environment,” he remarked.
