Camping
Camping can be lots of fun for you and your family, giving you lots of freedom to explore and go where you want to.

You can be close to nature and enjoy an active holiday while enjoying some beautiful scenery and seeing some fantastic wildlife the UK has in abundance.
Glamping
Glamping is similar to camping but posher, and you will often have a large static tent or pod placed in a field where you can stay with your family. It allows you to be close to nature but has the benefit of sleeping in a comfortable bed at night and enjoying a few modern conveniences. It costs more than camping but is more comfortable and can make for an excellent holiday for you and your family.
Rent A Caravan
You can also rent a caravan for your family holiday, or if you already have one take it to a caravan park at your preferred destination. Many camping and glamping sites also take caravans, and they are more comfortable than a tent and can often have luxuries such as satellite TV, a shower, hot water, oven, and heating.

Another excellent option you can consider for your family holiday is hiring a narrow boat and exploring the canals and rivers of the UK. They are simple to operate, and you can enjoy the slow pace of life on your boat as you and your family relax. You will find plenty of places to explore along the way, and it can be lots of fun and excellent exercise opening and closing the locks along your route. It is a popular option in the UK, and you can get narrowboats to suit most sizes of families, and you will usually find plenty of fantastic pubs along your route.
