Great Toddler Holiday Ideas Please

[Spoo]

My DSs will be 3 and 4 this summer. We went camping with some friends last year and enjoyed it. We were thinking of going camping in Denmark but the price of flights is putting us off.

We are open to any suggestions of relatively adventurous holidays with older toddlers. We have done Centre Parcs and Spain so far with them but were hoping to do something a bit more different this year. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Camping in the Vendee and Brittany in france is fantastic with young children - been for years so can recommend if you wwant to self drive. last year we went here in Italy which was the best holiday ever - so god I booked up for this year the day we came back!!! Flights shouldbe cheap to Venice if you can go outside popular times. So much to do onsite we even found it hard to leave for the day tov isit Venice!!! Beach is SO child friendly as is pool!

Wow that looks fabulous Leslaki. How do you fly there with everything you need to take? Or did you stay in a bungalow/caravan?

laslaki - was it very group activity orientated?
it looks like a fab place but having group aerobics in the pool and on the beach - was it intrusive?

I have just worked out how much it'll be to camp for a week in July - about 350 Euros for 4 of us? Is that right?

Cor - just looked at toddlerholiday.com Again looks lovely but everything seems so expensive. Is that right?

It is expensive in school holidays yes. Would highly recommend tho. We went in March so it was fairly cheap.

You could do group activities of you wanted but could just as easily ignore!!! Helps if you don't speak german and don't want to thrown ping pong balls into a plastic cup while shouting "wunderbar" round an obscure area of the pool!! We chose not to get involved - the German did the opposite!!!! Didn't disturb us. We did watch the night the dcs appeared on stage doing Disney dances!
We ignored evening entertainment and ate in restaurant or chilled out with BBQ at caravan. Surprising how little you need to take!! Can thoroughly recommend it and I used to like quiet littel French sites - now appreciate sites with enough to entertain dcs while rewmaining true to their roots - ie the home made pesto sauce in the deli was amazing!! And it was Italian not Blackpool/Skeggie abroad!

sounds perfect laslaki - and I speak quite good German so could get the best of both worlds

Yeah you could ja ja to the xcited cries of "spielen!!" diected at us - my Scottish accent became very broad then as I decided I couldn't undrstand and lay down to read my book/watch kids throw ping pong balls into paper cups!
