Kids love their imaginary play, adventures and of course, holidays! We’ve all had our fair share of constructing pretend play scenarios-such as turning bed sheets into makeshift tents for mini campsite scenarios. Let’s swap the blanket fort play for a real camping excursion instead, and head out to the great outdoors for a real adventure! Whether you enjoy pitching your own tents, or prefer a more luxe escape- we’ve done the work for you, and listed down some family-friendly camping (and glamping) sites to suit your personal preferences and needs.
