BRITS wanting a family holiday with everything you need in one place should head to the Duinrell Eurocamp.
This holiday camp in the Netherlands is budget-friendly, two hours away from the UK, and has its own theme park with over 40 attractions.

The Duinrell Eurocamp is one of the biggest in Europe and the star of the site is their huge amusement park that is included with the price.
Rides include roller coasters, drop towers, a monorail, bumper cars, an outdoor trampoline park, and a carousel.
The family-friendly amusement park’s biggest ride is The Falcon which reaches speeds of 43mph and a height of 22 metres.
One reviewer called the amusement park a “hidden gem” and loved the fact that even in September there were “no queues” during the week.
Another said their trip was “worth every penny” for everything they did on their holiday from the theme park, to waterpark, bike hire and other entertainment on the site.
On-site at the Duinrell Eurocamp, there is also one of the best waterparks in northern Europe.
The Tiki waterpark has flumes and slides including one with a trapdoor, as well as a lazy river, wave machine, hot tub and steam room.
There’s also a heated play pool suitable for children up to three years old.
Eurocamp customers also get a discounted rate for the Tiki waterpark: €15 (£12.42) per person for the indoor pool and €5 (£4.14) per person for the outdoor pool.
Other activities around the park include football, volleyball, cycling, padel tennis, there’s even a games room with over 80 arcade games and a bowling alley.

In the evenings, expect even more entertainment from discos to live acts, karaoke and talent shows.
The Duinrell Eurocamp also has four restaurants including a creperie, an Italian restaurant, there’s also a bar, and place to grab takeaways too.
And for anyone wanting to venture out of the park, the city of Amsterdam is half an hour away – and a great way to explore the city is on a canal cruise.
For any Brits travelling from the UK, Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is the closest terminal.
There are 40 non-stop flights a day from London, 10 from Manchester, and seven from Birmingham.
There are six from both Edinburgh and Bristol, and none of the flights take longer than an hour and a half.
For anyone wanting a day trip, the nearest beach is Wassenaarse Slag[/caption]
Once you touch down, Duinrell Eurocamp is less than 30-minutes away by car.
The nearest beach to the Eurocamp is Wassenaarse Slag, a four-minute drive away, it’s perfect for children with a long sandy stretch and dedicated cycle paths.
Prices at Duinrell vary but the cheapest we found is from £67 per night (based on a 7 night stay for a family of four), which of course includes full use of the theme park.
For anyone returning to Eurocamp, you can save five per cent with their loyalty scheme – and watch out for other offers throughout the year.
We also asked A Place in the Sun presenter Laura Hamilton about her favourite Eurocamp destination.
And some of these Eurocamp holidays cost less than UK holiday breaks.
Here are three of the newest Eurocamp in France
One of them has a waterpark with slides, bouncy obstacles, and trampolines…
Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, The Alps
One of the new Eurocamp additions is set in the French Alps countryside. Château de Galaure is a four-star facility with a swimming pool complex containing three pools. There’s also a lagoon-style pool with a sandy beach, and plenty of slides too. Other activities on the site include cycling, river fishing and horse riding.
Locunolé, Brittany
Another new addition for this summer is Le Ty Nadan in Brittany. Situated in the north west of France, the region is famous for its cider, seafood and beaches. The five star site is set within an ancient woodland. Because of its location, there’s plenty to do for anyone who loves the outdoors including river canoeing, woodland horse rides and a treetop adventure park.
Saint-Amans-des-Côts, Aveyron, France
Eurocamp’s other new addition, Domaine des Tours, is set right on a lake. The four star holiday park has a large swimming pool as well as a children’s pool with plenty of slides. There’s also an inflatable water park complete with slides, bouncy obstacles, and trampolines. Other activities include beach volleyball, sailing, kayaking, fishing, and paddle boarding. On-site there’s also a games room, restaurant, pizzeria, and a bar.
