Euro camp recommendations for teenagers

9 replies

lucy6058 · 21/12/2024 18:19

I am looking for a eurocamp that will satisfy 3 boys aged 13, 11 and 9. They LOVE water slides. Last year we went to La Pinede which was great, but the boys moaned about the car journey alot. So would prefer to fly somewhere that has easy transfers. I have tried to look at the website, but feel overwhelmed with the options and have found some good places, but there's no direct flight, or they are miles away from the airport
I wondered if anyone had any good recommendations. We like the idea of going to Italy, but open to anywhere

People usually suggest Marina di Venezia, but there are also others on the same peninsular. You fly to Venice and get a transfer coach (or a taxi) which takes about an hour. I've done it with younger kids, it's easy. There's a waterpark on that camp site, or if you go for one of the others, a water park not far away by bus. Obviously the beach, and Venice within easy reach by bus/boat.

You can fly to Bordeaux or La Rochelle to get to La Pinede. We went there last year & hired a car.

Sorry that doesn't actually answer your question!

Marina Di venetia looks brilliant, exactly the sort of thing we are looking for. I really appreciate both of you taking the time to reply.
Merry Christmas

We went to grand union in Italy a few years ago with a 14 and 10 year old…was brilliant, like a town in itself and you can do a day trip to Venice

Union Lido near Venice isn’t too far from the airport, it has great slides, and there’s a great water park not far away too.

There are some near Barcelona that might meet what you’re looking for, possibly also near Salou. I know a friend of mine did flights to Barcelona and public transport to one of the Eurocamp sites last summer. I bet teens would also love Barcelona!

Sanguli marketed as one of Europe's top campsites it's in salou. The WORST holiday we ever had.

Pool watery blimey
Entertainment so bad
Slides so tame
Overcrowded. Dangerous with the volume of camper vans e scooters and bikes on the thoroughfare.

I posted on the lake garda thread. Just now. Camping lido lazise. Slides. Right on the lake with restaurants .
Bang in the middle between gardaland and movie land. Both brill
Lots of danish. Has a restaurant and bar but outside the site better restaurants we got the bus right outside Veronica airport to the entrance to the site. Got the bus to lazise. Reminded me of venice
Down at the lake ( from the site ) pedalos for hire with slides. Lake garda so beautiful
We all had such a great time. All loved the lake so went pedalo ing every second day
Brilliant holiday there are 2 camping lidos at LG. The one we went to has a photo of the slide and it's woeful . The sites owners need to change it ASAP !!!; we all loved it
