I think I could have , but for the sanity of the girls we had to venture away for a while.

Done a fair bit of both(on site all day) and off sight seeing..Especially when the kids were younger....Visited a wee site in Yorkshire for 4yrs running...1st two visits the only time we (my son and I) left the site was for provisions in the village shop...Rest of the time was spent fishing..or in the small onsite pub...No radio...no tv..Hardly read a newspaper...Remember thinking as we were packing up one time...The world could have come to an end round about us..and neither of us would have known about it...Do like to get off somewhwere (sometimes though) depends on the mood Im in...

Jelboy.

we've only managed one trip this year  and we spent one day of the week on site , had breakfast , a leasuerly tidy up  and get everything together , make a packed lunch and then head off to the beach . back to the site bewteen 3 and 5 to get dinner ready and let the kids spend the rest of the evening at the play area .

next year we hope to do a few more and if i get my own way ( which I am sure I will) they will all be in locations where we want to go to the beach - I ave prommised ds and dd proper surfing lessons next year !

If we are going for a week or so we tend to do a mix.. First couple of days chilling at base camp with a good book and a game or two of badminton, then build up to a couple of afternoons out and home in time for tea, then a full day trip, then a final relaxing day.

If it's just a weekend then mainly on site with a few walks thrown in - not having to use the car - to stop me getting stir crazy. I'm not a great relaxer!

Nope, in the English Riviera you cannot have a leisurely morning because after 11 you can't get parked anywhere!  So we are usually out by 9 until late afternoon.  Shame really but the entire area is a gigantic car park and anybody who has travelled the Torquay road will know what I mean.  We won't talk about parking in Brixham later in the day either lol.
