Camping with entertainment

The children and teenagers take part in a sports camp, an organised barbecue evening on the beach or games in the recreation room. Meanwhile, the adults can use the time for themselves or take part in one or other of the activities themselves: good humour and cheerfulness take centre stage at various workshops, competitions, games, parties and performances such as musicals.

Special features of camping with entertainment

There are great campsites with entertainment all over Europe: from France and Austria to Denmark, Spain, Croatia and many other countries. Bathing fans especially flock to the south of Europe, for example to Croatia. Warm air and water temperatures, wide coastlines and clear water offer ideal conditions for a beach holiday. Campsites with entertainment are often located by the sea in this country, which means that water sports enthusiasts can also enjoy numerous activities. On the island of Pag, for example, there is parasailing and flyboarding as well as surfing and diving. In the Netherlands, the extraordinary Wadden Sea of the North Sea awaits visitors, attracting nature lovers in particular. In the hinterland - for example in the province of Limburg - travellers can expect charming villages and beautiful castles and monasteries surrounded by river terraces, swamp forests and hills. Hikers and cyclists are drawn to this varied landscape, while culture lovers choose campsites with entertainment near towns with important sights. The municipality of Cavallino-Treporti in Italy, for example, is located on a long peninsula with white beaches, dunes and pine forests and is in the immediate vicinity of Venice. The world-famous lagoon city invites you to take a gondola ride on the Grand Canal and visit the Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica.

Destinations

Denmark is a diverse country - the municipality of Faxe alone boasts numerous manor houses and castles as well as fresh forests, the vast sea, picturesque lakes and wide beaches. The leisure programme at the 5-star Feddet Strand Camping & Feriepark is just as varied. This site is located directly on the Baltic Sea with an exciting water trampoline and interesting skill courses. The entertainment for young and old at this campsite includes sports and entertainment programmes: Among other things, fruit can be picked and cooked into jam at the on-site farm. While the children are looked after in the recreation room or on the adventure playground, for example, parents can relax in the wellness area with sauna, whirlpool and solarium. Spain is known for its beaches and sea, but the country is also home to reservoirs, marshlands, vast plains and high mountains. This diversity can be explored from Marjal Costa Blanca Camping & Resort in the province of Valencia, for example. The resort is located in the midst of this beautiful nature and offers organised sports and leisure activities for children and adults. There is also great camping with entertainment in France. Le Floride & l'Embouchure campsite is located near the Mediterranean Sea. This site has many entertainment programmes on offer - including sporting attractions such as archery, and families in particular enjoy the campsite's own entertainment programme for children.

An amusement park with seemingly endless possibilities

In Europe, there are hardly more entertainment programmes than at Disneyland in Paris.

For many visitors, meeting their Disney heroes such as Darth Vader, Spider-Man and Baloo is a highlight at Disneyland.

Survival training for nature enthusiasts

Active campers who enjoy spending time outdoors take part in survival training, where they learn the skills they need to survive. At the Survival Day in Sittendorf near Vienna, for example, you learn how to build a shelter from natural materials, what food you can eat in an emergency, how to find water and how to orientate yourself. If you are interested in the subject of building traps, you can take part in a one-day course in Sankt Pölten. In the same city, you can also attend a seminar on survival weapons and tools, where you can learn more about making emergency knives and fish spears.
