What to look out for when choosing
- Toddler water: look for shallow water and a paddling pool; at Camping Siesta the shallow swimming pond suits first-time swimmers.
- Heated water: a heated pool means longer swims, as at the 1,000m² heated aquatic park of Camping Le Palace.
- Opening dates: match the pool season to your travel dates; at Camping Village L'Ecrin du Lac the pool runs from 15 June to 15 September.
- Kids club ages: check the age bands for your children; Camping hu Birkelt village runs kids clubs for ages 4-16.
- Pool, lake or river: pick the water that suits your family; Camping Taiga Lake Caspe offers a lake beach, a marina and water sports.
- Booking activities: ask which adventure activities can be arranged at the campsite and from what age, so everyone gets a turn.
Our tip: match the adventure to the age and appetite of your crew. For families who like their action served with plenty of splashing, we love Camping Senia Cala Gogo Internacional, where ten pools and nine slides keep everyone busy between activities. Couples and families with older children who would rather do than watch should look at Camping Montana Parc Oasis Village - Coeur de l'Estérel, with its water park with wave pool, padel and mini-golf, plus free shows. If your family prefers a relaxed pace with a dash of adventure, Camping Bedura Park is a lovely choice, with a heated outdoor swimming pool, family activities and real Pyrenean nature all around. Whichever you pick, we always tell families to leave one day free to simply wander around the campsite, try the things the kids spotted on arrival and have a second go at the favourites. The best adventure holidays leave room for repeats.

Frequently asked questions
What is an action and adventure camping holiday?
It is a camping holiday where activity is part of the daily rhythm: watersports on a lake or river, bikes, skate parks, pedal karts, laser tag and kids clubs, all on the campsite or arranged through it. After the action, a pool, beach or paddling pool is close by. Our selection covers campsites across Europe, so you can choose the setting that fits your family.
Which action and adventure campsites have a pool with a water slide?
Flower Camping La Rivière has an outdoor pool with a water slide and direct access to Le Largue, so children can swap between slide and river within one afternoon. Slides, flowing water and plenty of space make it an easy first adventure holiday for families with school-age children who love to splash and explore.
Can we try watersports on an action and adventure camping holiday?
Yes. Homair - Camping Domaine des Tours offers lakeside adventures such as paddleboarding and fishing, with a heated pool, waterslides and lake views for the rest of the day. Tell us your children's ages and experience, and we will help you choose the campsite that gives everyone a go.
Which action and adventure campsites combine mountains with a water park?
Camping Club Del Sole Due Laghi Levico Family Collection is a mountain adventure base with a 4,000m² water park with 4 pools and a private lakeside beach. Families can spend the day on active adventures and finish with a swim, slide or lazy lakeside hour without leaving the campsite.
Is an action and adventure camping holiday suitable for toddlers?
Absolutely. Many campsites have paddling pools, shallow water and playgrounds, so toddlers have adventures of their own while older siblings try the bigger activities. Camping Le Palace has a heated aquatic park of 1,000m² with water fun for the whole family, which keeps everyone happy and together.
