holiday camp
Family getaway destination
A holiday camp is a resort, typically British, offering organized accommodation and entertainment for vacationers.
These facilities provide lodging, meals, and scheduled activities—swimming pools, games, live shows—in an all-inclusive package.
The concept peaked in mid-twentieth-century Britain with chains like Butlin's and Pontins: We spent a week at a holiday camp in Skegness.
The term sometimes carries connotations of cheerful kitsch or enforced jollity.
