Scotlands House Campsite

The kids will probably be clamouring for day trips to Leogland Windsor Resort (15 minutes’ drive) for splash parks and 4D shows, but this site is also handily close to the thrill rides and water slides at Thorpe Park Resort (half an hour). If you haven’t had your fill of theme parks by then, try Warner Bros. Studio Tour London (50 minutes) for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or hit up Chessington World of Adventures Resort (an hour) and its zoo and aquarium. After all those action-filled days out, you might well appreciate the peace of a leisurely dog walk in Swinley Forest (15 minutes); if the kids are still needing more action, let them loose on the challenging mountain-bike trails and treetop zip wires. For more grown-up days out, book tickets to tour the renovated apartments at Windsor Castle (20 minutes), or coincide with Royal Ascot race week at Ascot Racecourse (15 minutes) to hobnob with royalty and perhaps back a few winners. Golfers can also play rounds on the hallowed 18-hole championship golf courses at Wentworth or Sunningdale golf clubs (both 20 minutes).
