George Horrobin's film begins with his two children loading up the family's Renault 4 with camping equipment. On arrival at the campsite the tents go up while Mum cooks sausages for the kid's tea. We see the family on the beach at Bognor, changing into flip-flops and, with embarrassment, into swimwear. After swimming they visit local beauty spots, feed the ducks and then they visit Butlins. After their visit the family goes to Pagham Nature Reserve and Portsmouth Harbour.
