The Ultimate Eurocamp Holiday Guide - and money saving tips!

Table of Contents

This is the Ultimate Eurocamp Holiday Guide, including a review of our experiences, and my all important money saving tips! Whilst I’d not intended to become a Eurocamp expert, we’ve visited quite a few Eurocamp sites over the last few years (20 to be exact 😂) so I seem to have become one! I’ve included answers questions like: Where is Eurocamp? How does Eurocamp work and how do I book? What’s the accommodation like? How can I save money on my Eurocamp family holiday? Which Eurocamp is best? (I’ve included links to every Eurocamp holiday guide and campsite review that I’ve written to help you decide where to visit!) Can I take my dog on a Eurocamp holiday? How do I book a Eurocamp package holiday? And lots more! So, here’s my Eurocamp holiday guide with a review of our personal experiences too.

Where is Eurocamp?

Eurocamp have lots of different locations across Europe, and for us hopping around their campsites gives us a cheap way to explore with the kids. We often use Eurocamp for our family holidays because they’re usually well located, so we’re able to have a mixture of city visits, trips to local attractions and chilling by the beach or pool – which is our favourite holiday blend! Eurocamp currently have accommodation available in: France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Portugal and Slovenia.

How does Eurocamp work – how do I book a holiday?

If you’re wondering ‘Are Eurocamp holidays any good?’ then I can confirm that all of the campsites that we’ve visited, although not run by Eurocamp themselves (except Marvilla Parks – recently renamed Homair Parcs – which they own), have been fantastic. They place their accommodation on campsites all over Europe – where you can enjoy the swimming pools and the other on-site activities that those particular holiday parks have to offer. As well as my review, I thought I’d guide you through how book your Eurocamp holiday too.

To book directly:

Head to the Eurocamp website
Pick the destination you fancy
Choose your dates
Select your accommodation type
Add travel / Channel crossings if required

There are loads of campsites available – so check out reviews, look at their photos, see what’s on offer, and research the locations. The information on the Eurocamp website will tell you how close the sites are to attractions, cities, airports, beaches etc so that you can design your perfect holiday. If you’re not sure where you want to go, leave the destination empty and see what appears for your dates. With Eurocamp, there are no set dates and you can choose the length of stay – this makes it easy to tailor your holiday around time off work and cheap flights etc. Either pay for your Eurocamp holiday upfront when you make your booking – or you can choose to pay it off in instalments instead, with a small deposit and the final balance due 10 weeks before you travel.

To book a Eurocamp package holiday:

If you prefer package holidays, then you’ll be excited to hear that Eurocamp have teamed up with Jet2 to offer some bundled all-in-one getaways. From Summer 2026, Jet2 have partnered with Eurocamp to launch the first ever Eurocamp package holidays, giving families the option to book flights, accommodation and transport together as one protected package. They won’t be for everyone, as there are currently only around 30 resorts on offer in France, Italy and Croatia, but it could be a good option if you’d prefer to book everything in one place. Jet2 Eurocamp package holidays include:

• Return flights from Jet2holidays
• 22kg checked baggage per person plus 10kg hand luggage
• Eurocamp accommodation at selected parks
• Car hire included as part of the package
• Bed linen and towels included
• ATOL protection

For more information, check out my article: Eurocamp with Jet2 – the complete package holiday guide!

What’s the Eurocamp accommodation like?

We’ve only had one bad experience with the quality of the accommodation, across all of our Eurocamp visits, so it’s not something that I worry too much about. The main factor seems to not be the level of the accommodation but how new it is. The lower range Classic mobile homes are small and basic, but perfectly functional as a cheap and cheerful base to explore from – we had a good experience with one at Camping Cisano San Vito in Lake Garda. However, we’ve noticed that the Comfort XL, Premium and Ultimate holiday homes seem to be newer and therefore less likely to have wear and tear. So, if possible, we try to book Eurocamp’s Comfort XL / Premium accommodation because they’re often fairly new and offer a good balance between quality and budget.

The Eurocamp holiday homes are brilliant for family holidays – unlike a hotel room, you’re able to spread out, have your own bedtime (always a challenge if you’re sharing a hotel room with the kids!) and there’s plenty of room for preparing meals too. We stayed in a Eurocamp Ultimate Plus Accommodation for the first time this year and absolutely loved it. These can be pretty pricey though, particularly at peak times, but they are awesome if you have the budget! However, if you’re travelling outside of peak times, you can often book one of the posh ones without spending a small fortune – and it’s well worth the upgrade if so. Not all sites have the Ultimate Plus range so it’s also a case of seeing what’s available too. Eurocamp have started to do some hot tub accommodation options now as well – you can find out which sites offer this by clicking here.

The best thing to do is to research the site that you’re staying at to see what other people have mentioned in their reviews. And, if there’s not too much price difference, try to book a slightly higher level accommodation if you’re able to as they seem to be updated more often. If you prefer camping, or are looking to holiday on a tight budget, then check out Eurocamp’s tent options – they’ve recently added quite a few different tent / glamping options that look pretty cool – and some even come with kitchens and bathrooms! For a detailed review and holiday home photos, check out my guide of the different Eurocamp accommodation options available: Eurocamp Holidays: Which accommodation should I choose? What’s included?

Is Eurocamp cheap / expensive?

We’re fortunate to be able to travel term-time as our children are home-schooled so we generally like to travel in June and September when prices are cheaper, and the campsites are quieter, but the weather is still nice. We’ve also benefitted from great savings during Eurocamp’s sales, as well as other discounts that have been available at the time. We’ve typically paid £25-£100 per night for accommodation on our trips, and the amazing pools, flumes and facilities on the campsites that we’ve visited have made our Eurocamp holidays fantastic value for money.

Having said that, I completely appreciate that if you’re travelling during the school holidays, your stay might be significantly more expensive – so keep reading for tips on how to save money on your Eurocamp holiday. And, if you’re restricted to school holiday dates then May half-term getaways are often very budget-friendly! For the school summer holidays in July and August, I’ve noticed that the last week of August is usually the cheapest – and I’ve even found 7 night breaks from around £200! Eurocamp holidays, in my opinion, are often the most affordable way for families to travel in the school holidays. Check out my article: 50 Eurocamp school summer holiday deals: August 2026 from £272!

How can I save money on my Eurocamp family holiday?

Life is expensive, so we’re now more than ever looking at reducing costs and finding ways to have cheap and cheerful family holidays with the kids. So let me guide you through 10 ways that you can save money on your Eurocamp holiday:

1. Look out for the Eurocamp sales:

Eurocamp often have sales on their website – so keep your eyes peeled! Their own discounts will come off automatically, so any savings will be clear when you’re doing your booking. In previous years, I’ve noticed good sales around January time, then again around Easter, and when the dates for the following year are released – so check regularly.

2: Compare travel dates:

Sometimes moving your holiday by a day or two can offer a vastly difference price, so use their calendar to check for cheaper dates before you book. You can choose to start and end your holiday on any given day (there are no fixed arrival dates) so you can literally plan your trip around the cheapest dates available near the time you’re hoping to travel. The Eurocamp calendar feature disappeared for a while but now it’s back! So make the most of it to see which travel dates are most affordable. You can see with this example for a resort in Spain just how much the prices can vary. This can also be useful if you’re working around cheap flights.

3. Use their suggestions:

When you’re viewing a particular holiday, you can also scroll down the page to view their suggestions for alternative dates / campsites and see what’s cheapest there too. Being open-minded and flexible is probably one of the best ways to save money.

4: Add extra discounts:

If you’re lucky, some external discounts can be combined with those on the Eurocamp website too. Through work you may be able to access big savings through the NHS Blue Light Card, with companies like Perkbox, or through other loyalty schemes. Kids Pass have great early booking reductions too. You may also be able to get good discount and cashback offers through cashback websites – and once you’ve stayed with Eurocamp in the past they’ll give you an additional loyalty discount when you book again! And, for those travelling alone with children, they also offer a single parent discount of up to £75. Eurocamp also give me discount codes (such as £50 off) exclusively for Frugal Mum followers – which work on top of any sales they’re running – so follow me on Instagram to stay in the loop!

5: Include your travel:

We’ve found that booking the Channel Tunnel Crossing (Le Shuttle) through Eurocamp is generally cheaper than booking directly – they have a set amount of discounted spots – so make sure that you book it as a package if you’re driving. In previous years, we paid around £120 for a return crossing. For our 2024 trip, the cost rose to around £250 – a significant increase but still cheaper than booking directly. The ferry is a less expensive option if you’re happy to add on the additional travel time – Dover to Calais is around 90 minutes – our return this year was around £95 booked through Eurocamp. If you need cheap flights – check out my Skyscanner guide or look at the Jet2 Eurocamp package holiday deals.

6: Book out of season:

If you’re able to avoid the school holidays and peak dates, you’ll save a ridiculous amount of money on your Eurocamp holiday – we find September really affordable and quiet. If you do need to book around the school holidays, as I mentioned above, May half-term is a lot more affordable than the summer holidays – and they usually offer discounts for holidays around that time too, directly on the Eurocamp website.

7: Think about the little things:

If you’re driving, just little things like taking your own bed linen and towels will save you a bit of money. You can also pack the car with food and other essentials, so you’ll have a lot of what you need already when you arrive. Be smart with things like toiletries, washing up liquid and laundry detergent too – decant a little into small bottles so that you don’t need to purchase larger amounts that would otherwise get wasted.

8. Check the ‘special offers’ section:

If you can’t see any obvious site-wide discounts on the Eurocamp website – then the ‘Special Offers‘ tab is great place to find a trip that suits your summer holiday budget. When you click through, you’ll see offers for particular dates / campsites – plan your trip around the cheapest ones, or pick your destination based on dates which would work with the kids and annual leave etc. As you can see, just from these few May half-term options below, prices vary wildly – so it’s a great section of the website to scroll through to find a deal that suits your budget.

9. Make a plan:

Making a rough itinerary for your trip is a great way to ensure that you can do all of the things that you’d love to do while you’re away without breaking the bank. The Eurocamp website offers loads of info to show you what’s near each campsite, and if you do a little extra digging you could save some money. For instance – if you’re in Rome you can visit The Colosseum on the first Sunday of the month for free. Or, if you wanted to visit Harder Kulm and Jungfraujoch whilst in Switzerland, with a little prior research, you’d see that if you buy tickets to Jungfraujoch and visit there first, you can then visit Harder Kulm for free. The Tiqets website is also a brilliant place to find discounted tickets for city sightseeing and attractions all over Europe.

Also, lots of zoos, theme parks and children’s activities will have cheaper weekday prices, so a little bit of pre-planning can vastly lower your expenditure while you’re away. You might even want to book a resort with lots of activities included to avoid lots of day out costs too. For instance, a stay at Lake Resort Beeke Bergen comes with free Speelland attraction park access – whilst a Duinrell holiday comes with free access to the theme park – or book somewhere like Union Lido for the most incredible on-site aqua park. I have a family holiday itinerary / guide for most of the destinations on the blog, to accompany your Eurocamp getaways, (I always include nearby days out in each review too) so take a look to see what’s available near where you’re heading.

10: Book a cheaper accommodation option:

All of the Eurocamp sites offer a wide range of mobile home, tent and apartment options. Whilst it’s nice to book a higher standard of accommodation if the price isn’t wildly different, it’s also important to remember that it’s just a base for eating and sleeping. We book what we can afford – getting to travel and make memories with the kids is too important, so I would always recommend reducing accommodation costs if need be – better that than not going at all / getting into debt for it. For more info, check out my post: Eurocamp Holidays: Which accommodation should I choose? What’s included?

Are Eurocamp activities free?

Our favourite thing about Eurocamp holidays are the amazing campsites, with lots on offer to entertain the kids. Make sure that you take a look at the individual details for the campsite that you’re visiting to see exactly what they have on offer. Sites will vary but usually things like pools, flumes and entertainment etc is included in the cost. Some will also come with extra perks – such as tickets to adjoining attractions or the use of a neighbouring site’s facilities. However, a few places do have additional charges, for example: Duinrell’s waterpark complex (though the theme park is free) or water-sports / beach inflatables at sites in Croatia. As the campsites are often run independently, and not by Eurocamp themselves, don’t assume that all activities are included without checking first.

Is Eurocamp all inclusive?

Eurocamp holidays are almost all self-catering – though that’s what makes them more budget-friendly (especially during peak school holiday times) than lots of other providers. However, they do have some full / half board dining options at a couple of their sites for 2025. At the moment, the resorts offering this are Le Castellas (South of France), Port de Plaisance (Brittany) and Domaine des Naiades (South of France) – click here to find out more about Eurocamp dining packages. As a general guide, full board seems to be about £50 per day for adults and £25 for children – obviously it’s so new that I don’t think you’ll be able to find a review for it at this stage – but if you want to avoid cooking, and you’re staying at one of those sites, it’s nice to know that it’s an option for your Eurocamp holiday if you want it.

You also might find that some of the resorts that are not actually run by Eurocamp offer food packages too – but this would need to be booked directly through the resort. However, we’ve never visited a Eurocamp site that didn’t have it’s own restaurant, so if you don’t fancy cooking don’t panic as they usually have restaurants and take-aways on the campsites.

What if I need to makes changes to my Eurocamp booking?

I’ve found the Eurocamp team to be incredibly patient and helpful on the multiple occasions that I’ve amended our holidays. We had to completely change our holiday plans in 2020 during the pandemic. We’d booked a 3 week trip around several campsites in France and, 3 weeks before we were due to leave, France was still off-limits to the UK. I contacted Eurocamp via their Live Chat with a new plan – a 3 week trip around Italy instead – and they changed the entire itinerary for us with one conversation. Something that I thought would be a headache (given that we needed new crossing times, and a change in dates etc for an entirely new trip) was actually really simple.

I also used Eurocamp Live Chat to book our 2023 holiday to the Netherlands as I had a discount voucher that I couldn’t get to work alongside the discounts already on their website. The lady on Live Chat booked the holiday for me, made all of the codes work and secured our crossing days/times with the Channel Tunnel. I also later added a few extra days to the holiday too (yes I am that annoying indecisive person! 😂) and the efficiency of the Eurocamp Live Chat team gets them major brownie points from me, and is another reason we like to book through them.

Complaints: What is Eurocamp’s customer service like?

You’re probably wondering what Eurocamp’s customer service is like – in the event that you have a problem to resolve or a complaint – and the good news is that we’ve only needed to complain a couple of times and I was really impressed by how quickly and easily it was dealt with. We had a dirty and mouldy holiday home in Tuscany, and the oven didn’t work. When we reported it to the rep he informed us that they were replacing all the holiday homes but it had been delayed due to the pandemic. I’m not sure all reps would have been so great, but he was an older gent who’d been doing it for years and he was straight on the phone to the boss. We were given €100 for a meal out and moved into better accommodation when it became available 2 days later – a brand new Azure (now Premium) holiday home!

Our second complaint was following our holiday in the South of France – our accommodation was directly next to the entertainment stage and the noise was horrendous, continuing until near midnight most nights. Unfortunately, there was nowhere for us to be moved to so we tried to make the best of it and I emailed a proper complaint when we returned. Instantly, and without any fuss, Eurocamp offered us a £200 holiday voucher, or a 50% refund, which we put towards our next holiday.

Should I book my travel through Eurocamp?

For ferry and channel crossings to/from Calais – as I mentioned above, Eurocamp have access to discounted slots which are usually significantly cheaper than booking directly. The prices fluctuate slightly, but a return on the ferry from Dover to Calais is typically £100 (it was £112 for an example holiday on 8-15th Aug and ours was £95 in September) and the Le Shuttle Channel Crossing is around £250 (it was £254 for 8-15th Aug and a similar price for us in June). These costs were based on August dates – the price doesn’t really seem to change during peak school holiday times which is awesome!

Other routes: I’m not certain how many different ferry routes Eurocamp offer, but if you are looking for affordable options to/from a different location then the Direct Ferries website is the best place to look. It’s a comparison website for ferry travel so you can easily see all of the prices from different companies, which route options are available and any current offers running. If it’s not included then Direct Ferries is definitely the next best place to look for cheap ferry options.

For Eurocamp holidays with flights – As I mentioned above, you can now book some Eurocamp holidays with Jet2 as a package deal which includes flights, luggage and car hire. For those booking directly, you can’t book your flights through Eurocamp so you’ll need to book the flights yourself if you’d prefer not to drive. When it comes to the budget airlines, I think the best options are Jet2 and EasyJet – and for price comparison the Skyscanner website can be a great place to start. You can sort car hire easily on websites like Expedia, or book your transfers to and from the airport on the Suntransfers website before you go to make your trip stress free.

Can I take my dog on a Eurocamp holiday?

Loads of people want to know if Eurocamp holidays are dog friendly. The good news is that there are actually over 100 different Eurocamp campsites that will allow you to take your beloved furry friend with you. They have a whole page dedicated to dogs on their website, so you’ll know rules for travel, where you can book and what paperwork you’ll need – click through for everything you need to know about travelling with your dog.

How do I book a multi-stay Eurocamp holiday?

Eurocamp have recently made some changes, and it’s now not possible to book multiple campsites in one easy swoop on the Eurocamp website. However, though this is a bit annoying, you can still book a multi-stay holiday. If you’re road tripping around a country (or more than one) like we do, you can contact Eurocamp to book the trip for you, or alternatively just book each part individually. I just book each part separately online – particularly to benefit from using discount codes etc multiple times! If you’re interested in a European family road trip on a budget, but don’t know where to start, check out my articles:

What’s included / what should I pack?

One thing that I’ve been asked lots of times is, ‘What should I pack for a Eurocamp holiday?’ So I’m hoping my guide of what’s included, and what’ll you need, will be helpful! I’ve popped this into another article – as this blog post was getting a bit long 😂 – so have a read if you’re not sure what you need. There are definitely some things that are specifically handy for Eurocamp holidays that we’ve figured out over the years! Click here to read: What should I pack for my Eurocamp family holiday? for more info. And, if you want more details on what’s included with your Eurocamp accommodation (including details about bedding and towel hire) you can find this in my accommodation guide: Eurocamp: Which accommodation should I choose? What’s included?

Are Eurocamp pools heated?

Another common question people ask me is whether Eurocamp swimming pools are heated. We’ve had a mixture of heated and unheated pools on our travels – it typically depends on the particular campsite or resort that you’re visiting, what time of year you travel and whether or not it’s in a warm location. You can usually find this information on the Eurocamp website, but it will vary depending on where and when you stay.

Which Eurocamp is best?

I hope that my Ultimate Eurocamp holiday guide has been useful but, honestly, we’ve loved all of our travels for very different reasons – luckily I’ve added a review for each below to help you to decide where to stay. In Switzerland the location and scenery was incredible; in Italy the proximity to the cities made for perfect exploring; in the South of France the waterslides were fantastic; and the safari park at Beekse Bergen Lake Resort in the Netherlands was out of this world. So, it’s absolutely impossible to answer this question, it’ll totally depend on what you’re looking for in a holiday, what your family are interested in, how old the kids are and whether you prefer to chill on a beach or explore.

For more information about Eurocamp holidays, check out my article: Why do we use always Eurocamp to travel in Europe with the kids?
