Please help. Can anyone recommend any campsites that are family orientated but close enought to local attractions for our teenage children. I'm not looking for campsites specifically for teenagers but wondered whether anyone had any recommendations for areas to go where there might be a bit more activity for teenagers. Thanks in anticipation.
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!
It may be helpful if you could provide some indication where you are based and how far you are prepared to travel.

* Ex-tenter
* Treat life events like a dog: if you can't eat it, play with it or hump it, p1$$ on it and walk away!
You will then have easy access to places like: * Scarborough, Filey, Whitby * Flamingo Land theme park * Dalby Forest * Go Ape * North York Moors Railway * Market Towns of Pickering, Malton and Helmsley * Golf Driving Range * Eden Camp War Museum * City of York * Pickering Traction Engine Rally(early August) * Pickering War Weekend (October) * Goathland (Heartbeat Country) * Castle Howard
Should be enough to keep you all busy for a week or two!!

You missed Elvington Air Museum out ! Far better than Eden Camp ; we did both in a day and can't wait to go back to Elvington .
Both dog friendly btw !

Kingsbury Water Park...close to Drayton Manor theme park and Tamworth Snow Dome?
Chertsey CCC Site easy access to Chessington, LegoLand or Thorpe Park as well as Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Our teenagers loved our week there (they were 17 and 15 at the time).

I am really struggling to find acampsite for my 14 & 15 yr (special needs) olds!
We need a swimming pool, club house/ entertaainment, games room, close to beach, idealy we would just love to park up the car onsite and walk to local shops/beach...... reasonably priced £350 max for 2 weeks in August, just can't find anything.

Upgraded from a TT to a caravan.
Loving it!
Roll on summer :-)
Might be worth trying Freshwater Bay at Bridport. My teenagers loved it there. They were 14 and 15 when we last went. ( and it is very Special Needs Friendly for the other post) It has a club and pool plus horseriding, small chippy and shop. It IS cheesy but lovely and very familty orientated.
I second debs398 and suggest Searles in Hunstanton.
Like she said pool/clubhouse/shop on site. Right on beach, easy walk into town or you can use the road train. We do not use our car for days whilst on this site. There is also abus service should you fancy a change, and you can buy family day tickets, not too expensive either. Also Tescos is right outside the camp.
Not sure about the prices as it's not the cheapest site around, but given what you require ( beach club and pool) you're going to pay a premium price.
