You will hear two friends choosing a campsite together for their holiday with their families.
Shall we have a look at this information about campsites, and then perhaps we can choose where to go on holiday?
Yes, my children are very excited about our two families going away together again this year.
Shall we look at Westerley campsite first?
Yes, it says it’s most suitable for children under 12 years old, so that should be fine for us.
Your daughter’s just 11, isn’t she?
Mmm, yes, that’s right.
Now where is the Westerley campsite?
Is it the one next to a lake?
That’s another one.
This one’s by the sea.
Perfect.
Yes, that’s a good place to go in the summer when the weather’s hot.
This brochure says that most children who go to Westerley campsite love the animals they can see there.
There’s a special area where they can go and feed them.
We might see some interesting birds too.
Oh, and look, it says a farmer comes every day and you can buy eggs from him.
Great for breakfast.
I wonder if he sells other things like cheese, but it’s not mentioned.
Hmm, I don’t know.
I think they grow a lot of fruit in that area, so he might sell that.
Another thing I like about this campsite is that they let you make a fire.
We could cook some sausages and sing songs around it in the evenings.
And perhaps it would be a good way to meet other families there too.
Great!
And it isn’t too expensive, £6 per adult per night, £3 per child.
But wait, families of four can get it for £15.75 a night.
That works out even cheaper.
Let’s look at a couple of other campsites before we decide.
Yes.
Let’s look at Sneton Forest campsite.
It’s even cheaper.
Five pounds per adult and children under 10 are free.
They say it’s a very good place if you’re keen on fishing.
And they even give you tips on where to go to have the best chance of catching some.
I prefer walking or hiking, and so do the rest of my family, so I’m not sure that will attract us that much.
Oh look, it says you can rent a bike to go around a forest.
I’d do that.
And your children would like that too, wouldn’t they?
Absolutely.
We could all go somewhere and have a picnic.
Look, this is interesting too.
At Snetton, they get all the children together to play football.
Your children would love that.
And your husband Mike plays too, doesn’t he?
Yes, that sounds good.
Mike’s more into tennis actually, but I’m sure he’d be happy to be a referee if they needed one.
Here’s some information about Trent Valley campsite.
I’ve heard about this one.
There’s a festival near the campsite in June and it’s really busy, so they say for families it’s better in July when it’s a bit quieter.
Well, that would be just right for us, because we have to go in the school’s summer holidays.
Let’s look at what it says about it.
Oh look, it’s quite a long way to the nearest village.
Eight kilometres.
It’s too far to walk.
But this one has got an open air pool, which we’d all love in the summer.
And they have a little shop where you can buy basic things like bread and milk.
That’s really useful, and there’s lots to do there, I think, on Saturday night.
