Travelling by motorhome with children is one of the best ways to enjoy a family holiday. For the children, every stop is an adventure. For parents, it offers a comfortable and flexible way to travel without having to rely on timetables, hotels or constantly packing and unpacking suitcases.
More and more families are discovering that a motorhome is not just a means of transport. It’s a different way of travelling, where the journey itself becomes part of the experience.
If you’re thinking of planning your first getaway, here are a few tips to help you make the most of travelling in a motorhome with children.
🚐 Why travel by motorhome with children?
Families usually quickly discover the benefits of this type of holiday.
Whilst a traditional holiday is often full of fixed timetables, travelling and rushing about, a motorhome allows you to tailor your trip to the pace of the little ones.
Some of the advantages are:
- More freedom to organise your day
- Greater comfort when travelling
- Option to stop whenever necessary
- Everything you need, always to hand
- A much more fun experience for children
What’s more, children often see a motorhome as a real adventure.
🎒 What to pack when travelling by motorhome with children
It’s important to plan your trip properly, though there’s no need to pack half your house.
Essentials:
- Comfortable clothing
- Sunscreen
- Travel games
- Books or stories
- Reusable bottles
- Snacks for the journey
- Swimsuit and towel
One of the advantages of motorhomes is that they come with a kitchen, a fridge and plenty of storage space for everything you need.
🧸 How to keep children entertained during the journey
One of the most common fears before travelling by motorhome with children is that they will get bored.
The reality is often quite the opposite.
Travelling by motorhome means you’re constantly discovering new places, making every day a different experience.
A few ideas:
- Board games
- Drawings and colouring books
- Audio stories
- Music
- Children’s cameras for taking photos
Often, what they enjoy most is simply looking out of the window and discovering new scenery.

They talk about that hidden beach.
From the village where they bought an ice cream.
A night spent stargazing.
