 Take her to a campsite near a beach ,forest or hill walks .

Let her and her friends see what they like . Without all the entertainment .

Otherwise I suggest you camp near Pwllheli ,Criccieth or Abersoch . North Wales .Haven Holiday park is there In the area . If all else fails fails .

There are lots of quite sites also. You should find on the site finder .

How to take a teenager on a family camping holiday A teenager's perspective hopefully stop boredom, and help every parent survive

Excellent - very informative, if only there was a teenager kennel we could leave them at, to get fed, watered and exercised (or do I mean exorcised), until we come back from a trip.

Only kidding kids, you are a joy  to take camping now.

That list misses out straighteners if it's girls which means access to mains either in the toilet block or EHU. Last time I took Shaune before I got EHU she sulked until she found out she could use hers in the ladies. Oh and they need to be able to recharge their phones.

I must admit I don't think my two have ever complained at being bored while camping and they are now 14 and (nearly) 18.  My lad never goes on holiday without his rugby ball, if he doesn't find anyone else to play with he's happy to just practice his kicking.  He also reads when we're camping which he doesn't do at home! My daughter is almost an adult now, but she likes to read too and they both play cards alot when on holiday.

We always have EHU and we take iPods and laptops, usually find that buying a dongle is a cheaper option than sites wifi, unless it's free of course!  If we go for a fortnight we take a telly, but that's usually just for late evenings or rainy afternoons.

This summer my daughter is holidaying with friends before joining us camping so i've said our lad can have a mate up for a few nights.

I suppose it all depends how your kids adapt and how much they need occupying - we took a group of boys from our rugby team to Butlins last weekend, one of the boys complained to his mum when he got home he was bored, well with the amount of stuff to do there, I would say he wasn't the type to take camping!!!
