Hello! I'm sure you've thought about it but we always pack a wet weather bag with cards a chess set and top trumps. Sometimes we take stickers, paper and pens. We usually take a board game for night times too!
As our two have grown up a bit (8&9 now) they're more interested in finding people to play with. Last weekend they had great fun building dens!
Happy Camping!

Oh and I always do a search for events before we go camping! It's amazing sometimes what you can find without it costing you a fortune.
We've started to get National Trust membership they often run activities for the kids, treasure hunts and crafts etc. And as GarnetLiz has said the 101 things to do!
English Heritage often have re-enactments. Trains are another favorite (altho expensive)holiday treat!

Another vote for geocache, just been with a few kids at home and they loved it. Will be doing a bit more in the future and definitely on our camping trips!

Some ideas we use
- colour book and pencils
- geocaching again
- mini bowls sets
- Swingball
- sticky velcro ball thing again
- look up local activities
- Walks
- cycling
- den building
- help cooking eg pancake making, banana chocolate on bbq
- skipping rope
- painting nails
- cricket/rounders (if open space available)
- nearest cinema on really rainy day
- nearest swimming pool on really rainy day
- pack of cards
- fruit picking
- water guns if again open space allows
- helping collect wood and build fire depending if site allows
- pond dipping/crabbing?
I am sure you have thought of lots of these anyway. Anymore good idea's appreciated!
