Have you just booked the campervan or motorhome for your camping holiday? Then you can really start planning your holiday. If you have your own camping vehicle, there are several options. You can use simple campervan pitches and in some countries, you can even stay free-standing. But sooner or later you’re bound to spend the night at a campsite. Here you can find out how to find and book a suitable campsite.
Where do you want to camp?
Every camping destination has its advantages and disadvantages. If you’re travelling in summer, the south can be very hot and many places can be crowded. In the low season, however, these countries offer a pleasant climate for camping. Heading north, in Scandinavia or the Baltic States, you may not have a guarantee of good weather, but you do have the opportunity to go wild camping.
This type of holiday is becoming very fashionable. Camping in Germany is becoming increasingly popular. You can take a road trip along a holiday route, spend your holiday on the North Sea or Baltic Sea coast or book a campsite in Bavaria for a hiking holiday.
No matter where you want to camp in Europe, on eurocampings.co.uk you will find a large selection of campsites in 30 European countries that you can easily book online.
When should you book the campsite?
Camping has become more popular in recent years. This is especially noticeable in the occupancy rate of campsites. If you are travelling in the high season or on public holidays, some campsites are likely to be fully booked early. That’s why it’s worth booking well in advance. If you still want to go on a spontaneous road trip, you should take this into account when choosing your destination and avoid touristy regions.
In the low season you can often find a campsite with availability at short notice. With the ACSI Camping Europa app, you can search for campsites and pitches on the road and book a campsite spontaneously. You can also get a discount on many campsites in the low season with the CampingCard ACSI.
What do you need at the campsite?
Campsites come in all shapes and sizes. Would you rather stay at a small campsite in the countryside, at a city campsite or at a holiday park with all the trimmings? You can decide for yourself what is important to you on a campsite.
The practical filter function on eurocampings.co.uk helps you to find a campsite that meets your expectations. Would you like to camp by the sea or perhaps by a lake, in the mountains or by a river?
You can filter not only the location of the campsite but also the facilities of the campsite. Whether you want a swimming pool on the campsite or special facilities for dogs. With the advanced search on eurocampings.co.uk you can search even more specifically. Do you want to rent a surfboard or an e-bike at the campsite? You can also filter on that.
What do you need at the campsite for your campstar camper?
Pay attention not only to the facilities at the campsite but also to the pitch. Check beforehand whether your campstar campervan complies with the permitted dimensions at the campsite. It can also be helpful to read reviews to find out if the campsite has enough space for manoeuvring and if the pitch is level. There are often special campervan pitches that meet this requirement and offer campervans of all sizes enough space to manoeuvre.
It is practical if there are electricity and water connections for your campervan on the pitch. This is the case at many, but certainly not all campsites. If your campervan does not have sanitary facilities, you can book private sanitary facilities at some campsites. These can be located in an enclosed part of the sanitary facilities or directly at the pitch.
It’s especially nice if you can choose your own pitch at the campsite. Then you can choose whether you prefer to stand near the pool or the bar, on a sandy surface or concrete, and whether you need shade or want to enjoy the full sun all day.
Conclusion
There is a campsite to suit every campervan. Think about what is important to you on the campsite, set the right filters and you can book your perfect campsite directly on eurocampings.co.uk!
