If you are looking for a fun-filled holiday for all the family at a reasonable price, then trying one of the myriad holiday parks across Britain would be right up your street.

Holiday parks come in all shapes and sizes – and are suitable for all ages. They can be found in all sorts of locations – beside the sea, close to the mountains, or set in some the idyllic countryside we have in Britain, so whatever type of holiday you are looking for, there will be a park out there just for you.

You could go for a ‘big name’ like Haven or pick one of the smaller parks dotted around – a simple search on the interet will bring up a whole host of ideas – and whatever your taste, there will be something out there for you.

So, what should you expect from your stay at a holiday park?

Well, first and foremost is the accommodation.

Mobile homes are now luxurious – even the basic models are great as a homeaway- from-home for your two-week escape.

They are usually very well equipped with practically everything you could need – you may need to bring along your own linen and towels, or you can often hire these when you book to save you the hassle and extra luggage.

Some sites offer a range of accommodation include differing standards of mobile home, tents, even wigwams and chalets – again, a search on the internet will help you decide which is right for your choice of holiday.

Sites are packed with lots of things to do – from playareas for the youngsters, to bars for the grown-ups and everything in between – swimming pools, crazy golf, summer clubs for the children and evening entertainment for all the family. Some offer archery and tree-top adventures.

Most parks have small supermarkets on site and often they have restaurants and bars. Other facilities include laundries and takeaways – everything is geared up to the guests enjoying a hassle-free time.

If you don’t want to endulge in all the park has to offer, you can relax in the peaceful surroundings of your mobile home enjoying a barbecue in the evening while the children make the most of being in the outdoors on bikes or scooters, or just playing with a ball.

And most sites also offer short-breaks so you can pop along for a long-weekend if the mood takes you.

Because you tend to drive to the park, you have transport with which to explore the countryside in the area. You can discover all sorts of hidden gems – and stock up on the barbecue goodies and souvenirs.

So for a holiday where you can sit back, slow down and relax and let the children get outside and active, a holiday park is a great bet.
