Eurocamp - experiences??

[MissyCooper]

Quite fancying this for June 2019 before DD1 starts school in August. We went to a couple of these sites in Italy when I was a child and we had a brilllant but that was like 25 years ago.

My friend says they are great for kids. I have two, they are currently 4 and 18 months

Quite fancy the South of France...

it's been about 9 years since we did this, but we went 4 or 5 times Eurocamping to France. We always had a great time and the children (of various ages) loved it. There are electiric lights, cooker, fridge etc. in the tents, and the sites are generally lovely, well kept and with things to do.
I'd love to do it again!

same here.i cant honestly say some of my best times were in campsite in france.we were in the mobiles and tents.both arucoamp and canvas. also look at the actually site of the campsite the big tents brands are.because the places themselves often do there own mobiles or tents the same price or less for more!

Loved Eurocamp as a child and love it as a parent!

I have friends that drive to the Euro camp, they have a big family and it works out well for them, they love it and go every year.

We have friends that go Eurocamp every year and love it. We’ve been on one in Italy in October it was great. We were in a mobile home but I was admiring some of the tents. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pans, plates, glasses etc. We were out of season so kids clubs weren’t on but it was great to have the shop, a restaurant and pool on site and the dc had plenty people to play with. We are going to try France next too.

Yes do it. It's very easy with kids.

Fab. Can you recommend sites?

Also is it necessary to drive? Would rather avoid this if possible. But I’m wondering about airport transfers.

Love eurocamp. Did a season working for them when I was younger so may be biased. Loved it as a kid & as a parent.
Most sites require a car, you can filter it to find the few that don't. Last one we went to was in Tuscany. We flew & then hired a car. Id think about doing similar for South of France as very long drive otherwise!

We drove to La Baume a couple of years ago. We LOVED the site (kids were 10,4 & 4) and would do again. Nice airport is fairly nearby but the site isn’t close to a beach so you’d need to look into buses.

I’d get a mobile home rather than a tent with young dc as the door can be locked so they don’t wander out in the morning (mine woke around 5!)

We did one last year in Italy and had a brilliant time. Loads of kids clubs, play park, brilliant swimming pools. Our dd loved it and made loads of friends. The staff were wonderful with all the kids, genuinely warm and fun.
The supermarket there was expensive though and the restaurants weren't great so we used the local supermarkets and had picnic lunches by the pool and had a 10 minute drive to eat out.
It was honestly our best holiday yet.
I'd go for the static caravan option as they have air con.

Driving is one of the appeals of that type of holiday - no worries about luggage and what you can can't bring, especially when they're small!

We had amazing family holidays for years, we all loved it. We've stayed in Spain and Italy.

Great for kids.
Def get a nice mobile home (unless you're a weirdo who loves actual camping) on the quietest part of the site so you can sneak off.
Also go somewhere on the coast so you can get off the site and go to the beach (for your sanity).
Be prepared to do Zumba classes to bad French pop music in front of everyone.

Personally would rather stay in a villa in the middle of nowhere but dd would be complaining she's bored. I'm going to get my revenge and drag her on hikes and round museums when she's older.
