Camping with children is a guaranteed recipe for a fun holiday. Fresh air, endless play and making new friends, what more could you want? And honestly, if the children are having fun, it’s a win-win situation for everyone. Still in doubt? This is why camping is so good for children.
Camping is an adventure in itself
For children, the fun starts on the way. Getting something out of the car or caravan, eating a sandwich on the trailer tent, it’s all exciting. Once at the campsite, it only gets better. Helping to set up the tent, discovering the campsite and exploring new places, it’s one big adventure. Would you rather have a little more luxury and enjoy the freedom of nature and the luxury of a hotel in the sun? Then choose one of the many beautiful glamping destinations in Spain , where you can enjoy the sun, the sea and the beach in a luxury safari tent or lodge.
New friends
Children make new friends very quickly at the campsite. They run to the playground, jump on the trampoline or join a game of football. And whether they speak the same language or not, it doesn’t matter. Playing together comes naturally and they often learn a few new words too.
Sleeping in a tent is cool
Children love sleeping in a tent, especially when they are old enough to have their own sleeping space. At first they giggle and chat, but before you know it, they are fast asleep. Even brothers and sisters who are normally anything but best friends suddenly find it cozy together. And that means the parents also have a quiet evening.
There is always something to do at the campsite
A hotel or apartment can be beautiful, but if there is little to do for children, you will be out and about every day. At the campsite it is different. There is always something to do, even at a simple nature campsite. Whether it is a stream, a playing field or just a piece of grass, children will enjoy themselves everywhere.
Camping doesn’t have to be expensive
A camping holiday is as expensive as you want it to be. Luxury chalet or a basic tent spot, it’s all possible. Putting up a simple tent saves a lot of money and children don’t need much to enjoy themselves. And once they get used to a campsite with a swimming pool and playground, there’s a good chance they won’t want to go anywhere else.
Outside all day
Camping means living outdoors. Breakfast in the fresh air, roasting marshmallows by a campfire in the evening and playing endlessly in nature in between . Even when it is a bit chilly, children simply put on a sweater and continue their adventures. The feeling of freedom is nowhere as great as on a campsite.
No hassle with nice clothes
At a campsite, no one cares if a child walks around with grass stains and muddy hands. Clothes don’t have to stay perfectly clean and in many cases they walk around in their swimwear all day anyway. That saves a lot of washing. And for that one evening out for dinner? One neat outfit is enough.
Also time for yourself
Of course, a holiday is all about quality time with the family , but sometimes some time for yourself is also nice. While the kids are having fun with their camping friends, there is finally time to read that book or just do nothing. Feet up, a drink and relax.
