The purpose of this paper is to explore what ‘children having a good time’ means in the context of a mundane type of holidaying, namely caravanning. Focusing on families, this paper draws on 210 qualitative in situ interviews with 437 people spending the holidays at 5 different Danish caravan sites.The study points to ‘family time’ and children's ‘own time’ as interdependent entities that allow for the balancing of social identities (pursued through family time) and more individual interests (pursued through own time). Compared to extant theory, caravanning seems to allow for more ‘own time’ and ‘spouse time’ for adults, because children have extraordinary opportunities to engage in ‘own time’. Furthermore, the study suggests that ‘real, quality family time’ is best achieved insofar one ‘has not seen the kids for hours’ in between the precious moments of thick sociality and family togetherness that involve all family members.
