Best campsites with pools and splash

Nothing settles the are-we-nearly-there question like the promise of water at the far end. These are the sites in our patch where swimming is part of the holiday itself: proper pools, lakeside beaches and splash parks within a bucket's throw of your pitch.

A note on seasons: outdoor pools in this corner of the UK generally run late May to early September, while Lincoln Farm Park and Hoburne Cotswold keep the water warm indoors all season. Always check pool session times when you book.
