Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions for a holiday, where two teenage girls (13 &14) may be kept entertained/occupied for the day? Looking at August.
TIA
------------- Ahh peace at last!
Don't forget to leave a review of the campsites you have visited this year or last!

Times have changed, I went camping with my parents, always to out of the way places in Wales. They thought that Tenby was tacky!
and back then Mrs B as teenagers we went to where our parents booked and then found our own entertainment! not once did our parents think of where we might want to be
Day trip (“occupied for the day”) or a longer trip with things to do for a long weekend? or even a week?
Come up to Mortonhall site (booking essential though) & do the Edinburgh Festival. Bus into town (get a day ticket). Wandering round costs nothing & there are all sorts of free things going on in the streets relating to the Fringe Festival. A bus trip would take you to the zoo, the Castle is huge, the Tattoo is on daily.
But it might be way too far for you.
When we were teenagers many years ago we found our own entertainment which was free. All we had to do was tell our guardians where we would be playing. No such thing as Internet and games in those good old days when you had to think for yourself. We didn't even had telly back then.

Without a lot more info on budget, potential destination I'm not sure much meaningful can be provided.
If I asked my teenage daughter where she would like to go for holiday in August and she can choose a day out she might say a baseball game in New York, but she could equally say a day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach!
Marg6, where my parents chose there was no entertainment! A holiday cottage near Newport in North Pembrokeshire, tent camping, they never booked as the sites were like CLs only without any facilities except water, then another cottage on the Lleyn Peninsula. This last had no bathroom and certainly no TV. Nothing to do if the weather was poor.
Mobile phones are brilliant - set up a tracker so you know where they are, give em some cash for lunch, and drop em in a town somewhere for the day. By the time she'd got to 14 our daughter was pretty "anti" entertainments aimed specifically at teenagers, preferring to organise her own stuff and think for herself (which a lot of older people assume kids cant do nowadays).

Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
