Going away with toddlers or pre-schoolers this summer? Eurocamp's family-friendly parcs and expert teams are on hand to help holidaymakers enjoy a hassle-free holiday, and to keep little ones happy and amused.

With more than 180 well-equipped European parcs to choose from, including a range of 17 Mini Paradise Parcs, parents and carers will be spoilt for choice.

Each Mini Paradise Parc features a Mini Fun Station, free Learn to Ride and most offer Learn to Swim lessons as well as a range of pre-bookable extras to make trips away easier and to keep luggage to a minimum – this includes free travel cots and highchairs, all-terrain buggies, play tents and toddler trucks.

Eurocamp's Top Tips for a Great Toddler Trip Away

• Pack light – most places stock and sell nappies, wipes and other essentials so there is no need to carry too much
• Take the pain out of long car journeys with a homemade 'activity box' – filled with cheap treats and games that can be pulled out during the trip. Crayons, bubbles, stickers and toy cars will all work wonders
• Or for a flight let the child pack their own backpack (within reason), so they can choose what toys will keep them most entertained
• Build in plenty of stopping time to give the kids breaks during the journey
• Pack plenty of snacks for the trip nobody wants a hungry child on a long journey
• Take a change of clothes and a towel for each child in a day bag or carry on – to cope with spills or accidents
• Pack plenty of Factor 50+ sun cream for children – many European resorts do not sell higher factor creams
