Where to go for a few days away with my teenage son?

[adam cool dude]

That’s why I go camping.
Got a few canvas bell tents.

Me too £30 odd pound a night to camp right next to Ullswater in the lake district. Nothing quite like it

Camping is horrendous.

Not too far. Good for teenager.

Camping is horrendous.

Need the right gear.
Canvas bell tent is great, I’ve even got the wood stove.

Sign him up to ocuk so he can spend all that time (and more) arguing about how other people define their own gender. Much cheaper than all of the other options.

only if you don't know what you're doing. camping (especially wild camping) is so much fun.

Lakes, plenty of places to go for great walks, adventure style stuff like caving etc.

I'm looking at spending about 4 days away with my 15 year old son, he's your typical teenager into theme parks and other action activities.
We're looking at getting away around the end of August and just looking for ideas.
I'm possibly thinking Disneyland Paris but not sure if he's a bit too old for that or enough to do. Maybe get the train to Paris for a day as well and see the sights. Also is there anything else to do in that area?
Any other ideas or advice on Disneyland would be much appreciated.
Thanks

tbh i would do this

double the fun!! even on wet cold days, the sense of satisfaction setting camp up, making yourself warm and comfortable etc is just amazing. i've done the fancy hotels and the likes and they are fine for more 'sedate' holidays but there's something so great about camping when done properly (sat in a lidl 19.99 tent freezing your nads off wearing the rain coat that was bought in the pound shop is definitely not fun!)

He's 15, does he really want to spend a few days with his mammy? Fine if he said he wants to but just seems odd for a teenager (almost)

Also you are never too old for Disney!
