As the summer school holidays get underway in England and Wales, families across the country will be packing up their caravans and heading off on staycations.
With this in mind, GO Outdoors did some research into which caravan parks were the most family friendly.
The experts then compiled a list of the top ten, helping you narrow down the options and decide on the best site for your brood.
A spokesperson for GO Outdoors said: “Caravan holidays are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
“They are also an ideal way to explore nature and create priceless memories with family, including learning how to fish, birdwatch and cycle. A caravan holiday is the perfect setting for bonding with friends or family while enjoying scenic landscapes.”
We take a more detailed look at the three holiday parks that were deemed the creme de la creme for families, with options in Scotland, Somerset and Cornwall.
Auchenlarie Holiday Park, Scotland
Located on the coast of Dumfries and Galloway, Auchenlarie Holiday Park is one of Scotland’s most idyllic caravan parks.
It boasts a games room, swimming pool and on-site entertainment to keep the kids happy, while the park’s own shop means parents can pick up any necessities they need.
This pet-friendly site is just a five-minute walk to Auchenlarie Beach and only a short drive away from the stunning Galloway Hills.
Bucklegrove Holiday Park, Somerset
The memorable views of the Somerset Levels and Brent Knoll are what set this caravan park between Cheddar and Wells apart.
An indoor pool and on-site bar and restaurant mean there’s no need to rely on the British weather to come through to have a good time.
The children’s play area and warm welcome for four-legged friends make Bucklegrove Holiday Park a great option for families.
Tencreek Holiday Park, Cornwall
Close to picturesque coastal destinations of Looe and Polperro, Tencreek Holiday Park is a convenient base for exploring Cornwall.
On-site facilities include a games room, swimming pool and shop, while the park also hosts a packed schedule of entertainment.
It’s pet friendly and situated just a ten-minute drive from the closest beach, meaning it has everything most families could want.
