  2. Take a trip into the local town to do a bit of shopping, the perfect place to pick up some souvenirs for your loved ones back home.
  3. Sample the local cuisine at a restaurant, take a break from cooking round the campfire and enjoy some local food and drinks.
  4. Spend the day at the campsite, play some games, have a campfire, and relax in the great outdoors, perfect after a jam packed few days of exploring.
  5. Take a day trip out or participate in local activities. Whether it renting a boat out on the lake, taking in some history at a stately home, or seeking thrills at a theme park. Explore the internet or ask at your campsite for some inspiration!
