Eurocamp help

Hi,

I am going to Ca'Savio campsite in Italy next week with Eurocamp with my husband and kids.

My friend will be in Italy at the same time and is thinking of staying with us for about 4 nights.

What I want to know is can she just bunk in with us, or do Eurocamp supply wristbands or cards or something to prove that you are supposed to be on the site?

Thanks!

    Hiya - we've never had to wear wristbands, or in fact show any kind of ID other than just on arrival, although they do pop in to see you occasionally throughout the holiday. We've only been a couple of times though, and to France, not Italy.

    If you get caught, you will most likely have to pay for the extra guests though.

    I have stayed in a friend's Eurocamp mobile home when we visited them in France. Myself, DH and 2 children all stayed overnight, it was just for one night though. The reps even joined us for a drink. Some parks do make you wear wristbands - last year we stayed at a Yelloh Village campsite in France and we were given wristbands, but no-one seemed to be checking them.

    Been with Eurocamp several times, all in France. You wont be issued a wrist band but, as the sites are privately owned, Eurocamp, Keycamp etc, only rent the pitches, you might find that you are issued with some form of i.d for your car, a window sticker perhaps. We have been to one site, Rougemont, that does that. The camp site did check cars but only at the entrance and usually only later in the day close to locking up time. So if your friend parks their car away from your pitch, there`ll be a place to park nearby, you shouldn`t have any problems. Eurocamp reps generally dont bother checking up on you, maybe just a courtesy call at first to see if your settled in that`s all. However if you do decide to pay for your friend, you`ll find it`s not too expensive to do so anyway.

    We've been to Ca Savio and did not get given wristbands and just walked in and out of the site at will. It's an enormous site holding several thousand so I can't see how they could really police a site that big. It might be a bit different by car but we fley to Venice and took the bus to the site so arrived on foot. A car is virtually useless at Ca Savio.
