It’s an ideal environment for young children to enjoy freedom while parents stay relaxed. Many parents tell us our set up is so much more relaxing than a busy campsite where they can't let their toddler play  without constant supervision

Many parents say how enjoyable it is to socialise with other parents and how relaxing it is not to be forced into eating at set times as in a hotel.
