Hi,

I am looking for ideas for a caravan park to suit a 3 and 7 year old and most important keeping them entertained.

I have trolled through the searches and to be honest I get blinded by them all. I have a week booked off in August and I am just going to hook up and go hence I am looking for ideas. I am willing to travel anywhere in Scotland and perhaps the lake district. So far I have looked at Tummel Valley seems like a lot to keep the kids entertained, something along this lines with swimming, play parks, restaurants etc......

Appreciate any advice or suggestions, we are new to caravaning and have only been to a few parks.

Thanks in advance

Not sure how far you're prepared to travel but we can recommend the Camping & Caravanning Club site at Culzean Castle near Ayr on the west coast.

Hi, our kids have loved Grantown on Spey since they were wee. Great playarea, top notch facilities, nice area. Their favourite is now Nairn Lochloy, for the entertainment, pool , playarea etc, but we hate it as the touring area and loos are not good. Alex.

we have been to Tummell Valley, its a long windy road to get there, also the actual caravan site is across the main road from the actual reception, entertainment area etc. apart from that it has loads to do . another is Faskally in Pitlochry

The Gart caravan park at Callander has a children's play area and is a very nice camp site.

Have a wee look at Thurston Manor near Dunbar http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=3544 . It has entertainment and a swimming pool. It can get busy because of this though

Folks the OP was asking about this as he was going in August for a week.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
