Family-Friendly Motorhome Stopovers

Stops that make daily life easy with children: safe space to play, shops and a café within walking distance, and other vans around.

The best stop for a family is rarely the most spectacular one. It is the one where the kids can play away from traffic, you can fill the water tank, and there is a shop and somewhere to eat close enough to walk to. Those are exactly the details a star rating doesn’t capture, so travelling families tag them on Campercation as they go.

A place is marked Family friendly only when somebody who has stayed says so, and its page lists the specifics behind that: a safe play space, a playground, shops or a café within walking distance, a beach or water nearby, and for pubs, whether children are welcome inside.
