Are Eurocamp sites open over October half-term?
While not all Eurocamp sites are open over the October half-term break, there are still plenty that are. It's worth checking which facilities are open before you book though because a lot of the outdoor pool complexes and some of the on-site shops close after the summer season.
What’s the easiest Eurocamp site to get to for October half-term?
If you’re happy to drive then La Croix de Vieux Pont is the easiest site to get to for the October half-term break as it's only a three-hour drive from Calais.
Prefer to fly? Then Vilanova Park in Spain is a great choice as it's just a 30-minute drive from Barcelona airport.
Which destinations are still warm for October half-term?
You can never guarantee the weather you'll get in Europe in October but the destinations that are most likely to still be warm for the half-term holiday are those in Spain. Our top pick is Playa Montroig on the Costa Dorada.
What’s included in the price of a Eurocamp stay?
The price of a Eurocamp stay includes your accommodation, use of the kids’ clubs, and use of the on-site facilities including swimming pools, activities, and entertainment. Meals aren’t included so you’ll need to make your own food or head to the on-site restaurants. Duvets and pillows are generally provided but you’ll need to bring your own linens, or reserve them in advance for an extra fee.
How we chose our recommendations
Because we know that there's nothing like a real recommendation from a fellow parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which Eurocamp sites were being recommended for families.
We then did some research looking at which Eurocamp destinations were open for the October half-term break and what customers said about them. We looked at on-site amenities, accommodation options and location. Having collated all that information, we then narrowed our list down to collate the best Eurocamp sites for the October half-term holiday.
