A family campsite done properly is a small holiday town where everyone gets exactly what they came for. Children head straight for the water, teenagers find their crowd and parents discover that a sunbed beside a splash zone is a very fine place to be. Every campsite on this page is a great family park, and the water is never far away.

Water is the headline act. At Camping La Torre del Sol in Cambrils, two big lagoon-shaped outdoor pools, a tropical river, a whirlpool and a paddling pool with water games keep everyone busy. Camping Senia Cala Gogo Internacional counts nine slides and a heated toddlers' pool of 245 m² for ages 1 to 3, so the smallest swimmers get their own splash zone. Camping hu Norcenni Girasole Village goes one better with two water parks, four slides, a lazy river and a lagoon pool, plus a little train that carries you up to the upper lagoon pool.

Prefer your fun in two flavours? Camping Terme Catez has a 12,000 m² thermal waterpark with an outdoor Summer Riviera and an indoor Winter Riviera, plus a funnel-shaped Superbowl slide, wave pools and a lazy river. Valamar Camping Lanterna in Istria adds the Aquamar water park with ten pools and a pirate ship, alongside more than 4,000 m² of children's facilities, from Maro Club to a Soft Play Room and Ropeland.

Grown-ups are not an afterthought. Delta Open Air Resort, a brand-new 5-star resort, unveils a 4,350 m² water park and sun deck, with tennis, padel, basketball and five-a-side football on site. Whatever your family looks like, you pitch up once and everything else is already on site. Choose your park, book with us and let the holiday begin.

We love a family park that matches the family, so here is how we would choose. Travelling with a mixed crew of toddlers and teens? Our tip is Camping Bella Italia, a 5-star waterpark paradise on the Lake Garda shoreline where everybody finds a corner of their own. If you want pool time and sea in one go, we love Camping Bi Village: three pools plus a sea aquapark, and even a private beach for the dog. Families who like a beachfront aquapark with five pools, a private sandy beach and a round of golf for the grown-ups will feel right at home at Camping Pra' Delle Torri. And for a tropical splash, our tip is Homair - Camping Domaine La Yole with its giant slides and heated pools. Whatever you pick, tell us your children's ages and we will match the park to the family.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a family campsite with young children?

Look for a shallow, separate splash zone, a paddling pool and a water playground, so toddlers can play safely away from the big slides. Flower Camping Cap Finistère is a lovely example, with heated pools, waterslides and a water playground, so every age group has its own corner of the water.

Which family campsites have a water park on site?

Many of our family campsites have a full water park on site, with slides, lagoon pools and play areas for all ages. Camping hu Fabulous Village is a good example, combining a lagoon pool, water fun and family entertainment, so the day is planned without leaving the park.

Are family campsites suitable for teenagers?

Yes. Teenagers enjoy slides, sports and a social scene, and the best family parks bring all three together. Camping Cisano San Vito features lakeside waterparks with slides, plus a private sandy beach area, so older children can swim, slide and meet other holidaymakers at their own pace.

Are family campsites also good for couples?

Definitely. Many parks have spa and wellness corners, saunas and adults-only pools, so parents can switch off while the children are in the splash zone. Camping Baia Holiday Cavallino combines an aquapark with a wellness area, a neat balance of family fun and a little pampering for two.

What entertainment do family campsites offer for children?

Expect kids clubs, mini discos, sports and daily entertainment, often with clubs for different age groups. Club del Sole - Vigna sul Mar Family Collection runs a free kids club for ages 4-12, so children make friends quickly while parents enjoy a coffee.
