Here are some of the reasons why fitness enthusiasts often stay at holiday parks when they travel.

They can easily combine multiple physical activities into one workout

Staying in holiday parks can allow fitness fanatics to easily do several types of fun physical activities during a single workout and incorporate a mixture of challenging and gentle activities into these workouts, according to how energetic they feel on any given day of their trip.

For example, because many holiday parks are near the coast (or by lakes or rivers) and tend to be close to many hiking trails, those who stay in them usually have the option of going on a long hike or for a cycle on one of the trails and then finishing off their workout with some wild swimming to cool off and refresh themselves. Similarly, because many holiday parks have their own squash and tennis courts, fitness enthusiasts who stay in them can have a quick match, before heading off for some kayaking or windsurfing in the park's lake (or in the ocean, if it's located near the coast).

For anyone who loves exercise and wants their holidays to be as active as possible, having access to such a wide array of physical activities, each of which challenges their body in different ways and comes with its own unique, fun experiences, is one of the best reasons to choose a holiday park over a hotel or a holiday rental property.

There are lots of opportunities for exercise-based group activities

Another reason why holiday parks are so beloved by fitness enthusiasts is that they provide ample opportunities for visitors to partake in group exercise. This is important, as there are plenty of people for whom exercise is only enjoyable when it's done with others.

For example, because visitors often do things like barbecuing their food and sunbathing outside their motorhomes or cabins, they tend to chat with their fellow holidaymakers more than they might than if they were in a hotel. As such, the numerous fitness enthusiasts who visit these parks can often end up organically finding fitness friends with whom they can, for instance, have a game of tennis, or go rowing.

In addition to this, some holiday parks have organized exercise-based group activities, such as group hikes, rowing sessions and bowling parties; as such, even if a visitor isn't confident enough to befriend and exercise with other people on their own, they can still enjoy fitness-focused group activities at the holiday park.
