When it comes to camping and caravanning, the options are endless. The UK is home to a wide range of stunning locations, such as the Ribble Valley, which are perfect whether you choose to pitch up in a caravan park or a campsite.
Whether you’re looking for a secluded spot in nature or an action-packed family holiday, there is something out there that can suit everyone’s needs.
However, one concern that many would-be campers have, particularly those with families, is how best to stay entertained (or keep their children entertained) in the great outdoors.
While Holgates’ camping pitches near the Lake District are some of the most beautiful and well-equipped in the country, it can still be a slight cause of worry to wonder whether there’ll be enough going on to keep your family entertained.
Fortunately, Holgates’ Silverdale location offers an array of activities for all types of visitors – from leisurely days spent exploring the countryside to swimming at our leisure complex, or even taking in a few games of bowling in the evening!
Typical Holiday Park Activities
Most campsites in or near the Lake District come with very few on-site activities. While they’re typically located in beautiful areas, you may find that you need to travel some distance to find a place for your family to have any fun which doesn’t involve nature.
If you enjoy walking in the great outdoors, wild swimming or birdwatching, then most caravan parks will be able to offer some activities to keep you entertained. However, if you have children who are more accustomed to playing on their iPads than the great outdoors, then you may struggle to find the entertainment they are looking for.
Typical Caravan Park Activities
Similarly, most caravan parks in the Lake District or the surrounding areas won’t have too much in terms of on-site activities. Depending on where the park itself is located, you may be able to hire watersports equipment, take a scenic boat ride, or even go hiking in the surrounding area.
Finding a caravan or holiday park with a selection of on-site activities is likely to be slightly easier than with campsites, though you may still have to travel some distance for family-friendly entertainment.
