Thinking Outside the Box: Family Vacations at Carefree Communities

3/5/2015

0 Comments

 
One of the challenges of family travel is being cooped up in a hotel room with energetic kids.  One creative solution to this problem is to forgo the big box hotel and stay at a family-friendly campsite, RV park, or vacation rental community.  If you have toddlers or small children, trading the usual hotel bar and room service for ground level accommodations with a kitchen, playground and splash pool makes a lot of sense.

Family-friendly Carefree Resort locations be found in Florida, Texas, New Jersey, North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Ontario and include favorite vacation destinations such as the Tropical Palms RV Resort in Kissimmee, Florida (just a shuttle ride away from Disney), Long Beach RV Resort on the Jersey shore, and Campers Haven on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  Amenities at each location vary and select resorts feature the Carefree Kids Summer Program with themed weekends, special cookouts,  organized crafts and lively activities.

Since I'm always looking for a casual beachfront vacation that won't break the bank, my pick would be Campers Haven, the only campground with its own private swimming beach on the Nantucket Sound.  Visitors can rent a tent campsite, rent one of two houses, or park an RV in one of the 275 hook-up sites.   The private beach has an ocean-front picnic gazebo, boating area, and fishing jetty.   When not playing at the beach, there are games like Bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball, on-site mini-golf, a game room and a playground.  Other facilities include private picnic tables and charcoal grills, hook-up for cable TV, a market and a snack bar serving breakfast, lunch, and ice-cream.  Plus, the park is near the pristine Cape Cod National Seashore, Kennedy Museum, whale watching excursions and iconic Cape Cod towns which offer great entertainment, dining and attractions.

When I was twelve years old, our family of six took an RV to Cape Cod and it was one of the most memorable vacations of my childhood.  Whether in a tent, RV, or cottage, kids will love the the camp-feel of a casual vacation the whole family can enjoy.  Carefree special offers include discounts for AAA Members (10%), U.S. Military (50%), and Good Sam Members (10%).

Carefree is currently running a special called “Start Your Journey with a Passport to Savings!” For RV sites, this includes a Stay 3, get 1 free offer. This gives guests the opportunity to sample a few Carefree RV Resorts. This offer is based on the number of parks a guest visits, not the length of stay.

Through fun activities and shared experiences, Carefree Resorts are the perfect place to bond with your family and create memories that last a lifetime. Visit the Carefree landing page to learn more about Carefree Resorts, locate an ideal resort and request a free quote and brochure.  Happy Travels!
