'With the promise of an outdoor splash park, paddle areas for my pup, a zipline, climbing and plenty of other activities on land and in the water, even a novice camper like me felt inclined to spend a night'
I have a few friends with children and dogs to call on when I want a fun-filled impromptu adventure, so off three mums, three tents, four daughters and just two of our dogs went to the water park which is just a 20-30 minute drive from Scarborough’s seafront.
As a dog-lover, I spotted straight away all the dog-friendly touches from doggy ice-creams on offer, to free treats and doggy splash areas. Plus with a noisy young puppy and children in tow and me who is equally as loud, I felt at home with so many other dogs around. We hit the water around golden hour so it was a beautiful way to end a long car journey and it was fun checking out how well we could balance without falling in.The children loved the freedom and pace of it and after the fog horn sounded when our hour was up, they were begging to return to the boards which for four city-living girls who love their screens was pretty impressive.
There’s three compact sites to pitch tents in and one with electric ports. Plus, much to my delight as the sites are small, there are plenty of toilets and showers just a stone's throw away. Staff did offer our fair weather children a paddle board ride to the inflatable but with the three mums swimming ahead they eventually followed.
