EuroCamp or similar?

[AleRob]

Any recommendations for a EuroCamp/CenterParcs style holiday, either within the UK or Europe that’s reasonably priced? Or something similar!

There’s also Huttopia, Yelloh! and Odalys operating in Europe.
There’s plenty of Odalys sites in France, the two we’ve stayed at were brick and mortar rather than the static caravan look of Eurocamp and Yelloh or the cabin look of Huttopia.
We’ve stayed at a Europarc in Belgium , so there’s another chain.

Be helpful if you say what facilities you’re looking for and how you’re getting there.

We have found Yelloh to be cheaper and better quality than Eurocamp. You can get a 4 star or premium cabin for the same price as a mid range at Eurocamp. We have stayed at Yelloh village Lascaux Vacances in the Dordogne, France, and had a very wonderful time. We stayed in a 4 star, it was great but had no air con, so for that reason I would recommend going up to a premium, which does have air con!

we have also stayed at Weekend Glamping in Lake Garda, also very much recommend this site. We booked direct.

edit - excuse the random bold, can’t get rid!

Sandaya are worth considering too, we stayed in a gorgeous cabin with them last year in France. It was very French, with Spanish as the second language spoken which suited us, but the kids struggled to make friends or take part in the organised activities so it depends how much you want these as part of your holiday.

There is hundreds of Eurocamp sites across Europe, it helps to know how you plan on travelling (fly/ferry/train) and what sort of site you want (campsite/village/resort) then narrow down where you can travel (flight routes from local airport or how many hours/days you want to drive if getting ferry).
We have stayed in many, some good ones have been Sanguli, La Sirene, Praires De La Mer

I'd second Sandaya , good facilities though English was spoken enough to get buy if you spoke no french at all at the site we went to.
You could look at Landal parks they are mostly in Netherlands and Belgium.

Also look at Landal.com and roompot.com for Belgium and NL. The school holidays are different times so often a bargain to be had. European CPs are definitely cheaper than the UK.

Travelling from Northern Ireland. As cost effective as possible, the budget isn’t endless. Kids are all young, ages 2-5
edited to say, preferably English speaking

Netherlands might be a good idea, most people speak English really well.

Lots of Eurocamp alternatives eg:

• Roan
• Sandaya

-Siblu (thibk they are still going!)

• Huttopia
• Yelloh
• canvas (owned by eurocamp now i think so not as cheap)

For less camping more center parcs style there are

• Center parcs in Holland, France and Belgium
• Landal sites

Lots of sites do their own accommodation.

I would recommend finding a site that you can get to easily ( just guessing but with two little ones you may prefer ferry rather than flying so you can take more of your own stuff?) then looking at that site to see who the operators are.

I can recommend La Croix de Vieyx Pont in France (near Paris) for those ages, we went every year when DS was little.

If you decide to look at Holland or Belgium look at Little Clogs Facebook page they offer amazing advice and don't charge anything they just get a small commission if you book through their site but they are very laid back theres no pressure.
