At a campsite in a natural environment: Water fun for the whole family

Read on and prepare yourself for a few wonderful days away.

Why choose a wetland campsite?

A campsite near the water offers something extra for every family member. While the children play and swim, parents can relax on the water's edge. Wetland campsites often also offer the opportunity for fishing, canoeing or paddle boarding, allowing you to be active in nature. This not only offers plenty of opportunities for wonderful recreation, but can also be an opportunity to finally do something with those empty 'I'm going to exercise' promises.

The best water activities for children and parents

From building sand castles to swimming and water sports; the possibilities are endless. Even for pregnant mothers there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the holidays. There is always a comfortable one for pregnant mothers maternity bikini – for a day at the water – to choose from.

Preparing for a wetland camping trip

It is important to be well prepared. Think water-resistant sunscreen, swimwear for everyone, and games for the beach or on the shore. It is also wise not to lose sight of safety; provide swimming armbands for the children and a first aid kit just in case. Also take into account allergies and local diseases and/or pests. And don't forget yourself! You too deserve a nice new swimsuit or lounge set from, for example sportbh.nl.

What to do in bad weather?

You can enjoy the campsite even when the weather is bad. Many campsites offer indoor facilities such as a games room or even an indoor pool. In addition, board games or a good book can do wonders on a rainy day. At the campsite it is often more difficult to be bored than to be entertained. There is so much to do.

Indoor activities

Here are additional suggestions for fun activities when it rains during a camping holiday:

1. Playing games: Playing board games or card games together is an excellent way to pass the time. Think of games such as Uno, Monopoly or Scrabble that are suitable for all ages.
2. Reading and reading aloud: Bring a stack of books for the whole family. Reading aloud can be both entertaining and soothing, especially during the sound of rain on the tent canvas.
3. Creative activities: Crafting with materials you have at hand, such as drawing, coloring or simple crafts. This stimulates creativity and keeps the children busy.
4. Visit an indoor playground: If the campsite offers this facility, an indoor playground is a fantastic place for children to burn off energy and have fun, whatever the weather.
5. Movie night: If you have a laptop or tablet with you, you can organize a movie night. Make it cozy inside with blankets and snacks.
6. Educational games: Use apps or board games that are also educational, so that children can learn something new through play.
