We get our son to take his DS and IPOD plus laptop, sad I know but it works wonders, I do a recky on the site too about whats on offer, last year we went to Ladram bay and it had an arcade and family bar with entertainment which is where our son and mate hung round until the cufew time we set. plus stuff for younger kids too.

Was weird because we felt we had a holiday without them as they only came back for food and money (nothing changes there)

ASk them what would keep them happy on holiday?

ty have had a chat and boys not worried about arcardes but has been decided either a pool or the sea close by is a must so now of to go through the sites.

Little 2 are easy somewhere to play  and there happy

like that teenage guide

Try Whitehill just 4 miles from Paignton. Been camping there for years. Our son is now 18 and still wants to go there, bringing his friends.

Outdoor swimming pool, 3 play area's, childrens crafts. Kids disco up to 9pm with older kids disco till 11am. Arcade. Games room.

Lots of space, private woods, bikes and scooters allowed.

Brilliant security officers patrolling the camp all through the night. The children are safe to have a later curfew.

Bus from camp to Goodrington where there is a large aquapark.

Thank you

wedone haven  fair bit in  the static vans ,boys not bothered on discos  but after the advice and reading up have booked our first proper camping holiday next month .Going to  take them to the River Dart site  for 2 weeks  in for  a penny in for a pound .figure least if were having a day on site plenty to do and no arcardes for them to pester the bank of mum for.

My girls are 12 & 13, we don't allow them to take DS, laptop or ipod touches!!  We always pick sites with FREE pools and they are happy. They love Whitehill country park also  Newquay holiday park, We were there last week and they spent 5 hours in the pool on bank holiday monday!!! 

 someone mentioned stowford, if i was you i would avoid as they charge for pool and its indoors.
