Oct half term - Sandyballs full!

[MelonOfTroy]

I'd like to take my 9, 7 and 2 yr old to a park type place within 2 hrs of Portsmouth in the 1/2 term.

I like the look of Sandyballs in the New Forest but it's all booked up so if anyone knows of anywhere similar that would be fab.

An indoor pool is a must and it would be great if there were activities the older ones could do too.

its a real struggle this year to find something in school hols thanks to Michael Goves rule change. we cant find anything for Oct half term so looking at doing a city break abroad if we can (flight+ airbandb). just wait til school summer hols. places we stay in are already full for May half term and 3/4 full for the summer.

We went to Ladram Bay caravan park in Devon this summer and it was great if you don't mind caravans. Maybe not quite as posh as Sandy Balls but the facilities were all new (apart from the swimming pool which they are due to replace) and there was loads of instructor lead activities and free stuff for the little ones. We got a private hire but the caravans owned by the site looked nice.

We have stayed at Bunn Leisure park near Chichester and it was a great park, indoor swimming pool, loads of activities for the kids, near to the beach and only 30 mins from Portsmouth

Oakdene forest. Very similar to sandy balls
