What are the best campsites for kids? What criteria should you use to select a family-friendly campsite?
Over the years, family camping has become increasingly popular, emerging as a top choice for holiday-goers. Affordable and convenient, it offers an ideal solution for vacations packed with a variety of activities. If you’re considering a camping trip, it’s essential to keep a few criteria in mind before booking:
Location: Choose a seaside campsite for easy access to water activities and the beach. Whether it’s a beach day or trying coastal sports, being close to the water ensures entertainment for both kids and adults.
Type of campsite and accommodation: You can choose from traditional, luxury, or eco-friendly campsites depending on your preferences and budget. Also, note that some campsites may not offer mobile homes, which are generally more comfortable for families.
Facilities and amenities: Pools, sports fields, and playgrounds are essential for keeping the whole family happy. Look out for kids’ clubs and entertainment services, which add a unique touch to the experience.
Price: Costs vary depending on the campsite’s rating and accommodation type.
Considering these factors, places like Bon Tempo Village are ideal for family vacations.
What are the best destinations for family camping?
For a family camping trip, choose destinations that offer outdoor activities and child-friendly facilities. Regions like Brittany, for instance, are ideal with their beaches, nature reserves, and numerous family attractions. Ensure that your chosen campsite is close to family-friendly tourist sites.
Brittany offers a versatile natural setting, from long countryside walks to stretches of coastline and extensive forests, providing endless opportunities for memorable family outings.

Practical tips for a successful vacation
Setting up a “vacation budget” is essential for a stress-free holiday. While some expenses, like food, may remain constant, others like accommodation and transportation often represent the largest vacation costs. Creating a specific budget will give you a clear idea of your expected expenses, helping you better manage finances and prioritize. Remember to consider regular expenses, such as rent and subscriptions, that continue to accumulate during your absence.
In 2024, the average vacation budget is around €2,450, a 7% decrease, underscoring the importance of careful planning. To prepare, create a detailed expense list by category, including transportation costs (train, plane, car rental), accommodation (camping, hotel), visits or activities, and personal expenses. Be sure to set aside a budget for unexpected costs to avoid last-minute stress.
By taking the time to plan your budget and choose the right campsite, you can ensure a successful holiday and the happiness of the entire family. Enjoy this opportunity to explore new regions and experience the fun of family camping! Book your stay at Bon Tempo Village today.
