You can spend hours on the 2p slots and pushers for less than a fiver. The shops are decent for a wallk round. The sandcastle is fun and not too dear, there is fleetwood freeport down the road for shopping, just playing with Siobhan on the site, or in the splash zone or on the playground or feeding the ducks/geese. There is the Martin Mere wildlife centre not far away and the windmill farm and activity centre pretty much next door. iMHO it just takes imagination.

Even if you go abroad you still have to spend money and or travel to the local attractions.

Have you seen the price to pitch a tent at Marton ( if you mean the haven one) over £400.00 for the week... I would sooner sleep in the field, not to mention all the lovely ( ouch) if not noisey kids school holidays and all that...

I have been to that camp, but in a caravan would not pay that just to camp:
