Camping in Europe
Adventure, Convenience & Comfort
If you're craving a bit more adventure without sacrificing comfort, consider a European camping holiday. Driving and catching a ferry to France or the Netherlands allows you to bring your own car, reducing travel costs and giving you more flexibility to explore. Instead of traditional tents, many modern campsites offer air-conditioned lodges or safari tents with kitchens, private bathrooms, and access to pools and kids’ clubs — making it a perfect blend of adventure and convenience.
Brittany in France is a fantastic first stop, with its beaches, fishing villages, and easy ferry access from the UK. The Netherlands offers a flat, bike-friendly landscape with attractions like Efteling theme park and beautiful canal towns. For those willing to travel a little further, Lake Garda in Italy provides breathtaking lake views, swimming, and nearby historic cities like Verona. Costa Brava in Spain offers sunny seaside resorts and charming coastal towns. Family-focused providers like Eurocamp, Canvas Holidays, and Siblu Villages offer packages that include entertainment, pools, and on-site dining — all in safe, welcoming environments for families.
With a beautiful pool complex, direct beach access and plenty of activities for the whole family, we’ve selected Le Sérignan Plage as our second holiday pick. Hop on the DFDS ferry from Dover to Calais and then drive down to the Eurocamp resort in the Languedoc region.
