German publication familie.de published a column in which the author explains why she refuses to vacation at five-star campsites with her children. She spent the summer in the south of France and observed how such resorts offer an excess of entertainment: water parks, animation, go-karting and other attractions.

The author emphasizes that she does not judge other families' choices, but for herself she prefers a more relaxed holiday.
