Child-friendly holiday destinations; top 5

With the summer holidays approaching, many parents are still looking for the perfect holiday destination for their family. And then it is useful to know which child-friendly holiday destinations are recommended by other people, right? People like you and me. So now I have not seen all these campsites, but in my opinion the Safari Resort Beekse Bergen should not be missing on the list of the most child-friendly holiday destinations. I recently went here myself with my family, what a party dude!

What's so funny to see is that the majority of the most child-friendly holiday destinations are located in the Netherlands! How do you find it? Only number one is a holiday destination in France, which takes the cake with a score of 9.9! The score of the accommodation in all European countries in the field of 'child-friendliness' was examined. Dutch campsites and holiday homes De Watermolen, Het Boshuisje, De Moesberg and De Paal complete the top five.

1. The French holiday park 'Le Silence du Midi'

The ideal place where both young and old can enjoy themselves and relax, according to one of the reviewers.

This holiday park in Languedoc-Roussillon excels in terms of hospitality, delicious food and all kinds of entertainment for the children. Ellen &Gunther make sure you feel right at home.

<3 The score? A 9.9! More information can be found here 

2. Camping de watermill in Groningen

In 2016 and 2017, this campsite was even rated as the best campsite in the Netherlands. This campsite has already received many reviews and the excellent hospitality is at the top. Small downside turns out to be the wifi. There is… but not so fast and WiFi on vacation is a must for many these days 😉 . Furthermore, this is one of the extremely child-friendly holiday destinations due to the many playing fields and especially the clean sanitary facilities.

<3 Score? Also a 9.9 but rounded just a little less than the number 1

3. Holiday home 'het Boshuisje' in Gelderland

This holiday home is mainly aimed at nature lovers. So also a very child-friendly holiday destination, but for children who like to play in nature (which child doesn't actually). The website is very dated, that gives me the creeps myself.

<3 Score? A 9.8 

4. Campsite de Moesberg in Drenthe

At this campsite you can rent a chalet or just camp. A nice heated outdoor pool and many play activities make this campsite one of the child-friendly holiday destinations in this list. More information can be found here.

<3 The campsite also gets a 9.8 as a score

4. Camping de Paal in Bergeijk

This is the only campsite that I can say from my own experience that this is a fantastic campsite and in my opinion this should certainly not be missing from the list of child-friendly holiday destinations. A wooded campsite (watch out for signs), a nice indoor swimming pool, which makes this campsite a must, even when the weather is bad.

<3 Achieved score is a solid 9.7. You can read more about this campsite here.

What do 'we' think is important for a child-friendly holiday destination?

It is preferable to choose a camping, holiday home or holiday park to go to with the children. The motto:as long as the children are having a good time, then so are we, applies to many parents. Holiday parks and campsites often offer a lot of playing and swimming opportunities for children, which makes them extremely child-friendly holiday destinations.
