For families, child-friendly entertainment is a decisive factor when choosing a campsite—the swimming pool and, of course… the playground! Many campsites have a single central play area, but having multiple scattered play areas offers significant advantages: reduced crowding, better accessibility, more diverse play experience and optimal use of space.
1. Less Crowding, More Fun
A campsite is the perfect place for children to make new friends, but not all kids enjoy the hustle and bustle of one large play area. Additionally, when there is a limited number of play elements (such as only one slide for all children), frustration can arise—especially when half the kids want to slide down while the other half wants to climb up! By creating several smaller play areas with essential play elements like climbing, swinging, sliding, and sand play, you distribute the play activity, giving children the freedom to choose a different play area. This reduces stress, increases fun, and encourages more adventure and exploration on the campsite!
2. Better Accessibility for Everyone
On larger campsites, it can be challenging—especially for families with young children—to walk all the way from one side of the campsite to the central play area. Multiple smaller play areas ensure that there is always one nearby, allowing children to play conveniently. This also helps parents gradually teach their children to explore independently, knowing the play area is close by. A reassuring thought!
3. More Variety in Play Experiences
Creating different play areas also makes the play experience more diverse. You can have different themes per play area, and cater to different age groups, for example an area for older children should offer more sporty and challenging play opportunities. This way, children of different ages can explore and enjoy the campsite in a way that suits them best.
4. Optimal Use of Space
Creating multiple play areas on your campsite doesn’t mean you need a lot of extra space! Installing a play area can be as simple as setting up one multifunctional play structure. Modern compact play equipment takes up very little space while still offering all the essential play features children love—climbing, swinging, sliding, and sand play. Wickey provides a variety of these solutions at a great price! By creating several smaller play zones instead of one large central playground, you’ll make much more efficient use of the available space at your campsite. Plus, these smaller areas can be perfectly integrated into the natural landscape of your campsite, creating charming play spots that enhance your overall campsite atmosphere!
Practical Tips for Multiple Play Areas
- Place play areas near central facilities as well as in quieter zones of the campsite.
- Ensure each play area has adequate shade and comfortable seating for parents.
- Vary play areas by age group, with themed spaces for young children and sporty elements for older kids.
- Choose multifunctional play structures that take up little space but provide great play value.
