Start with the children's needs, then check the actual campsite layout. A playground listing is a useful question to follow up, not evidence that a campsite is safe for every family.
Campsites qualify when their detail facts contain a sourced, recorded playground note, including limitations. This is not a family-safety assessment. Missing playground information does not mean there is no playground.
All 648 published campsite records, 1589 walking-track records and 26 trip plans are considered against the relevant criteria. Campsites with a closed notice are excluded. Seasonal and access notices remain visible; inclusion does not confirm that a place is open.
