where to go for good value holidays

[burnsy]

Hi , MY FAMILY HAVE JUST ENTERED OUR 2ND YEAR TOURING AND WE LOVE IT , BUT I AM LOOKING FOR IDEAS FROM ANYONE WHO CAN LET ME KNOW OF SITES THAT OFFER VALUE FOR MONEY . KEEPING THE KIDS HAPPY AS YOU MAY KNOW HELPS MAKE A RELAXING HOLIDAY , SO A SITE THAT OFFERS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE BUSY , MAKE FREINDS AND KEEP SAFE ARE A PRIORTY FOR MY WIFE AND I , WE ALSO HAVE A LABRADOODLE WHO TRAVELS WITH US SO SITES THAT WELCOME A FOUR LEGGED COMPANION ARE ALSO REQUIRED .
ANYONE WITH IDEAS , PLEASE LET ME KNOW , AS THIS YEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPAND OUR HORIZONS A BIT . WE REGULARLY HOLIDAY AT AUCENLARIE ON THE SOLWAY COAST BUT SPREAD OUR WINGS TO STANWIX PARK FOR OUR MAIN HOLIDAY LAST YEAR .
CHEERS , AND THANKS FOR ANY INSIGHTS

Hi there.
Have you tried southerness? Family holiday park for mums and dads as well as the wee folk. Can be a bit expensive in peak season though. Or try some of the lake district sites .

Hi. welcome to the forum. Can I suggest that you take Caps Lock off. Typing in capitals is considered shouting. Big holiday Parks like Haven do touring pitches. Lots for the kids to do and probably not too bad value, in low season but not cheap and a bit mad in high season. Try posting in the two sections on touring pitches for more replies.
happy vanning

Hi BunsenBurns, welcome to the Practical Caravan forum.
As Mel suggested, some of the large commercial touring parks offer deals, these can be found online.
Both major clubs can be a bit expensive at times for their main sites but the certified sites are often relatively inexpensive. We often stay on small C&CC certified sites with ehu for less than £10 per night with none of the extras like charges for awnings or dogs (we don't have a dog anyway)
Local C&CC district association rallying is a great way to maximise the use of your caravan on summer weekends, rallies can cost as little as £6 per unit per night .
Rallying may not be everybody's cup of tea but your kids have the chance to form friendships with other kids and they play in a safe environment, dogs are welcome and fellow ralliers are welcoming and friendly so it could tick a few of your boxes.
A post in the UK Parks & Touring section should yield more suggestions.
