Euro Camps

Hi,

Has anyone ever been to a Euro camp for their family holiday? Would you recommend it?

Can anyone suggest a site that is on or near to the beach and accessible by public transport.

Thanks

    Eurocamp...yes you are correct. Didn't pay enough attention to the name on the website.

    Yes I am aware of the basics with bedding but need to take sheets, pillow cases etc. However, the sites I have looked at allow you to hire all of it. I just assumed it was the same for all sites? I will check it out in more detail if we decide to go.

    Just trying to find a site we can reach without driving or car hire etc. might not be feasible though.
  • Get their brochure, it describes every site in sufficient detail - some are adjacent to beaches and not so difficult to get to from local airports.

    They are also very helpful on the 'phone.

    Yes you can rent your own, we always took our own which meant we had extra weight in the car so more petrol used.

    Yes hiring the linen could be standard over all sites.

    Brother went somewhere in the Netherlands with 2 sons. . Doesn't drive but found public transport fine for getting there and getting around.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I don't know whether you've atempted to do any research yourself before coming on here but I would have thought if you've even just looked at their website you would have seen:-


    https://www.eurocamp.co.uk/travel-and-extras/travelling-by-plane/car-free-holidays
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
  • Thanks everyone. I will check the website a bit more to see if any of the sites fit our needs. We are looking at a number of different options at present.

    We have used euro camp, keycamp and siblu. All very similar.

    I guess it depends what region you are interested in, but if I remember rightly you can select using the map, and adjust the map so you are looking at Coastal locations. We love Languedoc and the Vendee, we have used static caravans in both, although for the last Sven years we have hired villas instead.

    I hadn't seen that no, I was looking on a phone and have used the online chat service with a eurocamp agent. The agent I was speaking to stated that they couldn't identify camps that do not require cars but stated that the parks along the Adriatic would be my best option. That is the reason I asked on here.
