If your family are itching for a trip, you can't go wrong with the seaside. There's something for everyone with the creamiest ice creams on Bournemouth Pier, lashings of sandy beaches and those all important days out. Ride the Big Wheel high in the sky, dip down to visit the deeps in the Oceanarium and, even if the weather turns, there's plenty of indoor activity centres near these top family campsites in Bournemouth.
