If you’re looking for activities and entertainment the big campsites have most to offer. On the beaches you’ll find pedaloes, water slides, bananas, jet skis and more. There are tennis courts, volleyball courts, five-a-side football pitches and table tennis tables. You can rent bikes, mopeds and small boats. And for families with small children, there are usually beaches suitable for kids, as well as hosts and hostesses who will keep the little ones entertained while you take a well-earned break.
