Just came across campsites in Wales that seem to be within Pembrey County Park where there's skiing, toboggan run, horse riding, Segway, golf etc
Does anyone know any other sites that are next to activities that keep older kids happy please?

We have looked at Far Peak, Near Northleach in the Cotswolds it has a indoor climbing centre on site and low ropes course.
interested to know if there are many others around suitable for older children.

Rothiemurchus near Aviemore. More atctivities in and around the site than you could shake a stick at. And a cycle track that runs directly from the site that goes for miles. And as much walking amongst beautiful scenery as you would want. A wonderful area.

Have to agree with camp chaos and feeblecat. Loads to do in that area.

That's the one, feeblecat. I was replying on my phone and couldn't check!
We didn't actually make it there in the end but it looked really good and, in hindsight, wish we had!

We only "discovered" the Cairngorms about 5 years ago and couldnt believe we'd never been before once we tried it. Been about 5 times for 8 days per time since. A truly lovely area with loads to do. I think we've only used the car a handful of times when there as the walking and cycling direct from site is fab. From Rothiemurchus it is only a half hour walk into Aviemore - and 2 dog-friendly pubs. Great.

I noticed the other day that Troutbeck Head CC site in North Lakes has an activity centre right next door with karting, archery, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting etc. I've not been myself but made a mental note as mother of a teen myself.

Agree with Brighouse Bay, near Kirkcudbright. Don't need to leave the site, but if you bring mountain bikes there is the chain of "Seven Stanes" sites in the Forestry Commission woods nearby inland.
