We’re planning our first outside of the U.K. holiday next year with our then 3 and 5yo DDs. This style of holiday is not something we’ve experienced before: DH didn’t have holidays as a child, and my family mainly skiied/used villas or AIs.
We’re tied to school summer holidays as I’m a teacher and DD will be in school as of September, and would be looking for something relatively close (3 hour drive max) from Calais since we live in the South East.
We’d be staying in one of those static caravans rather than actual camping. We’d love a toddler/small child friendly site for the daytime that isn’t too busy or noisy in the evenings, as in without loud entertainment, if possible. Noise from people talking/children playing is obviously expected!
Can anyone recommend a good parc that fits these criteria? There are so many options that I’m lost in trying to book anything! I’d be eternally grateful to anyone who could point us in the right direction…

Best Eurocamp?

La Croix de Vieux Pont outside of Paris or La Vallee in Houlgate, Normandy.
Both have great facilities and lots to do in the local area.
If you’re willing to drive into Holland (super easy), Camping de Schatberg in Sevenum (near German border) is stunning. Not sure if still bookable through Eurocamp but you can book direct of via other camping companies.

Wherever you find campsite wise, I’d strongly recommend booking direct with the campsite own accommodation or someone other than eurocamp. They are expensive and not always the most modern, although they do have English speaking clubs for little ones. I can recommend Kelair Campotel, which is an Irish company and I think offers better value. Or like I mentioned, just book direct.

We’re going to TerSpegelt in the Netherlands this week. There’s a big indoor pool for the kids if the weather’s not great, which it hasn’t been for the last few weeks! We’re incorporating an overnight stay at Efteling too. So excited!
