Eurocamp family holidays

...wanted a holiday abroad, and Eurocamp seemed to fit the bill. We were so impressed that we have been at least every other year since - although we have now progressed to mobile homes rather than tents. So how does it work? Booking This is dead easy, although when you first look in the brochure it might seem a bit daunting. Basically you get a price for a basic holiday and then you add amounts for days, increased spec of accomodation, travel routes ...
...I think I would recommend Eurocamp to just about anyone. My tips for potential new Eurocampers? 1. Take a small box of provisions to save you having to shop when you get there 2. Take sleeping bags to save having to make beds. you can get the kids to sit on the m in the car to save space 3. Make friends with the couriers - they are a mine of useful information 4. Make friends with your neighbours - its good to sit and drink wine with people on ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...==WHAT IS IT?== Eurocamp basically hire out tents and mobiles homes all set up ready for use for you on a variety of camp sites across France, Spain, Germany, Italy and possible a few other places. They provide not just the tent or mobile but also all the basic equipment you need - a fridge (fridge/freezer in a mobile home), cooking facilities, barbeque where sites permit, plates and cutlery, pots and pans, blankets and you can hire sheets and ...
...April. ==GOOD THINGS== Eurocamp have a range of games and toys you can borrow at no charge like boules, scrabble, monopoly etc, should you need someithng to wihle away an evening. Mobile homes give you the chance to self cater which is so much cheaper and nicer with small children than being in hotels and you can sit outside on your decking in the evening and have a quiet drink once the kids are in bed, which is perfect. Animation does give you ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...in a static caravan through Eurocamp or Keycamp. However once we had bought our own touring caravan we felt that we would like to try taking that abroad instead. I felt a little daunted at the idea of taking the car on the ferry and negotiating my pitches in France with my exceedingly rusty O-level (fail!) French. I then recalled someone mentioning Eurocamp Independent to me once. I looked them up on the internet and ordered their brochure. I had ...
...of weeks. Eurocamp Independent focuses on holidays for people with their own tent, trailer tent, caravan or motor home. Their website is very informative and gives lots of information about the campsites they offer. However although it is possible to book through the website I preferred to read the small-print in the brochure (my husband thinks I am so sad!) and to study it at my leisure. You are still part of Eurocamp on site so you are able to ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...have been on three more Eurocamp holidays and all i can say is they have been even better, I will update on those ones shortly. Sorry a bit long this one but so much to say on it.. I discovered Eurocamp by accident last year while searching on the internet trying to find a good family holiday but at a low affordable price. We are quite a large family comprising of myself, my husband and 4 young very active sons of 10yrs, 8yrs, 7yrs and an 18 month ...
...I then came across the Eurocamp site and just thought i would have a quick browse. I found out that Eurocamp has been going for over 20yrs now and specialise in family camping self drive holidays in Europe, they have 167 different parks to choose from in and around France, Spain, Italy, Adriatic, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Holland. Belgium and Luxembourg and they have two types of accommodation to choose from. Under canvas which is a ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

After completing the tiresome first year of my course at university and spending the same length of time in a mundane part time job behind a student bar I decided it was time for a change. This change being spending three and a half months living in a tent with four other people that I had never met before in a foreign country with only a very basic understanding of the language. Over the summer of 2001 I worked as a Campsite Courier for Eurocamp. ...
...ideal camping experience. There is fixed accommodation on campsites all over Europe, mainly in France, so all the customer has to do is show up. Their customers are mainly British, German, Swiss, Dutch and Polish. The communication thing is easily combated by using broken languages, sign or with the help of some form of translator. The campsite I was allocated to was absolutely gorgeous. It was peaceful and tranquil. Just what I had wanted. Things ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

Eurocamp has been around for nearly 20 years now and it has transformed the idea of a camping holiday into what you would expect from a hotel holiday. You can take a Eurocamp holiday in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Holland or Denmark. You can even do four different countries, one year we camped in France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany all in the same holiday. The holidays tend to be self-drive although we have met people who have flown to their ...
...come across bad service let Eurocamp know. A vital part for us has been the children’s couriers, they are not available at every site but the brochure tells you which ones have them. They will do activities with the children for two hours every morning and two hours in the afternoon. Again they can be varied but in our experience are usually good and it gives you a bit free time and allows them to meet other children. Not all the people who ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

I went to Eurocamp in August/September 2004, just after my 18th birthday. Sadly, I went with my now ex b/f but it was sheer bliss. Eurocamp is based all over Europe but I chose to stay in the south of France (Frejus near St. Tropez/Cannes/Nice etc.) and it was amazing. The south of France itself can be quite expensive, especially with food and Eurocamp provided cheap but still great food so the budget wasn't completely blown. The only disadvantage ...
...and about £1 by bus. Eurocamp also offer bike hire so you just cycle around the south of France and enjoy the views if you like. Eurocamp is well sign posted and I would assume that the campsites are well known in the local area. When I arrived in the town of Frejus, I asked locals how to get there and every local knew of the site. So Eurocamp is easy, very easy, to find. Eurocamp also offer excursions. I'm not sure if these are free or not, I assume ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...UK. We had used Eurocamp and Keycamp on previous occasions, the sites are generally very well kept clean and with all the usual facilities, the couriers are always on hand for any info required. The cost for the hire of a Eurocamp tent in peak season is in the region of £800 - £900 for 12 nights but that includes ferry and tent, which is a reasonable price for a family holiday (up to 5 people). Last year we worked out that if we did it independently ...
...stumbled across an advert for Eurocamp Independent. They have independent pitches on most of the sites featured in their regular brochure. So I phoned and booked straight away the whole holiday (excluding petrol) cost £450 for 2 weeks, including ferry. For this price you get to use the Eurocamp courier as well, we also booked a couple of nights in one of their tents on the way down and back up for convenience. The site was, as expected very well ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...as number three for all eurocamp sites - quite an acheivement, as there's over 100 sites with kids clubs. The kids club service which is operated on most sites, is run by two or more childrens couriers. They all have high experience in working with children - and for most, it is their first time working for eurocamp. The service is run six days a week for five hours a day. This tends to be split into 2 1/2 hours in the morning and 2 1/2 hours in ...
...is provided free to all Eurocamp customers. The main nationalites of children are dutch, german, english and polish. Although the couriers are unable to speak all languages - they try their best to communicate with the children - by either basic word use, sign language or through the use of a willing parent as translator. All in all, the kids clubs tend to be wel run - and who knows i may see some of you net year, when you holiday with eurocamp, ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

Eurocamp - carnac les menhirs - great facilities indoor and outdoor pool Didnt see anyone supervising outdoor pool but indorr pool lifeguard constantly there and stopped the older ones dive bombing which was also great as it gave a chance for families with small babies time to swim also without being hassled. The only negative i would say is if you want a lounger around the pool inside or out get there early as they go like hotcakes on a good weather ...
...and when you can. Eurocamp reps were not in there little hut for most of the time and you had to phone them on a mobile if you had to reach them or leave a message on a notepad. So you do have the added expense of trying to contact them yourself if you cant find them on site and trust me its so big you do not want to be walking around it! All being said though that when you do find them they are very helpful and when you leave a message they are ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

...long back from a great Eurocamp holiday with a baby and 3 year old. Campsite was lovely, our pitch had shade and sun all day, so great for the kids. Campsite was a bit hilly, so not great for cycling round with a child on the bike, but good fun. Campsite was nearly full, but didn't feel crowded. Able to hire bikes and ponies to ride round site for reasonable price. Restaurant was OK - good for kids, with some small toys provided. Whole of France ...
...one. Also, Keycamp and Eurocamp couriers work together -- kids club is same one and couriers boss was same person for both companies. Worth checking out both brochures and pricing up before booking. With toddlers, you can often get discounts for KEycamp through Bounty packs etc. Eurocamphave a loyalty discount for those who have been before. Overall, good holiday and good campsite - lots to do in surrounding area and only an hour by motorway from ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

We have been on Eurocamp holidays for a number years and have three children under 12. What attracted us was the flexibility of booking ie you can start your holiday on a Wednesday, so if you have a budget you can travel cheaper on a weekday ferry or Eurostar. So far we have stayed in campsites in Normandy, the Vendee, twice in Germany and Switzerland using their mobile homes. Whats really nice is that after a hard days travel, there is someone on ...
...staying in a new area. Eurocamp can be a little more expensive, however the sites they choose are excellent-believe me we got lost once and visited a few others in France and locations are always top grade.The standard of the mobile homes are also excellant. If you have young children I would thoughly reccomend a try as you have plenty of site space for the children to ride their bikes and explore. If you have never tried, Germany was a real eye ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

We have twice stayed at the Key Camp site by the side of Lake Garda in Italy and all I can say is it was superb! The onsite staff are extremely helpful and the facilities are better than you would expect from a campsite. The mobile home we stayed in was a real home from home - complete with stereo, microwave and wine glasses. The caravan was spotless when we arrived and the (optional) bedding was crisp and white There's a nice walk along the boardwalk ...
...priced restaurants - we particularly like the Tex-Mex in the main square! Cannot comment on kids facilities but all the little 'uns we saw were having fun! We are getting ready for our 3rd trip to this Key Camp site and hopefully it will be as enjoyable as the previous two. They now have wi-fi on site at a very reasonable charge so we we will be able to sort out our day trips the night before whilst sitting in the bar with a cold drink! ...

Review of Eurocamp family holidays

We used Eurocamp 2 years ago in France and the experience was good. That was the first time we go with Eurocamp and the first time staying in a luxury tent. We have no complaint about Eurocamp from the begining to the end. Here's why - After we make our booking online, we received a confirmation immediately. Few days later, we received a well presented package consisting of travel tickets, accommodation vouchers, tourist guidebook of area, Michelin ...
...the facilities. - Most Eurocamp sites are very picturesque location. One first camp was in Jura. Our tent faces the lagoon and it was quiet and very scenic. Our second campsite was in Mersault, a wine region in Burgundy. We were surrounded by rows and rows of grape vine, it was a lovely experience. - The couriers at the Eurocamp make checking out easy too. They will visit us the night before departure so that we can leave without any hassle the ...
