Eurocamp stands out as a premier choice for family vacations, offering comfortable accommodations and parks brimming with activities. However, with over 400 parks across Europe, selecting the ideal destination can be daunting. Recently, Eurocamp unveiled its 'Best in Class' awards for 2026, highlighting one park as the 'Ultimate All-Rounder' for families seeking half-term adventures.
Domaine des Ormes: The Ultimate Family Destination
Located in Brittany, France, near the historic town of Dol-de-Bretagne, Domaine des Ormes is nestled amidst expansive countryside. Jono, a contracting manager at Eurocamp, praised the park for its high-energy offerings, stating it is unbeatable for action-packed fun. He noted, "With world-class slides and fantastic beaches nearby, it’s the ultimate ‘Best Action’ winner for families who can’t sit still."
Activities and Amenities Galore
The park boasts five pools, including indoor and outdoor options, alongside thrilling waterslides and a splash playground for sunny days. On-site facilities feature an 18-hole golf course and a horse riding school, catering to both children and adults. Kids' clubs are available for various age groups, with activities ranging from football and boules to aqua aerobics, tennis, and cycle hire.
Accommodation Options for Every Family
Families can choose from diverse lodging styles. Safari Lodge Tents provide a glamping experience with separate bedrooms and shower-equipped bathrooms. Additionally, Classic, Ultimate, and Premium holiday homes offer amenities like dishwashers, decking areas, and BBQs. For example, a Premium three-bedroom lodge sleeping up to six costs £1,339.52 for a week during May half-term, bookable via the Eurocamp website.

The iconic Mont Saint-Michel, France's most visited tourist attraction outside Paris, is also nearby. To avoid crowds, plan visits early in the morning or late afternoon. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for the hour-long trek across the causeway and up to the abbey, where charming souvenir shops, crêperies, and restaurants await.
