The 20 best Eurocamp family holidays for a city break in Europe

I’ve been hunting for the 20 best Eurocamp family holidays near cities – for a city break in Europe with the kids that will give you the best of both worlds. I’ve found great campsites close to: Paris, Barcelona, Luxembourg City, Rome, Florence, Verona, Amsterdam, Split, Venice, Bern, Trier, Salzburg and Zadar. We’ve been to most of these cities ourselves too, so check out my itineraries dotted throughout the article – we love a city break in Europe! Planning a city break that combines sightseeing with family-friendly accommodation can be a challenge, especially when you want to keep costs down, but that’s where Eurocamp holidays come in! With well-placed campsites near some of Europe’s most popular cities, Eurocamp offers the perfect blend of urban adventures with the kids, family facilities and relaxation.

We find using Eurocamp holiday accommodation a low budget way to enjoy a city adventure with the kids, and we love that it also offers us a family-friendly holiday too with pools, beaches, activities and spacious holiday homes so that we can self-cater (to save even more money) and each have our own bedrooms. So whether you fancy soaking in the history of Rome, strolling through the streets of Paris, or exploring the canals of Venice, these campsites offer the perfect base for a memorable family adventure. Here are my top 20 picks for the best Eurocamp family holidays for a city break in Europe:

Vitinia train station is 5 minutes away – and from there you can reach Rome city centre in 30 minutes – read more about it in my Camping Fabulous Village Review. Spend your days sightseeing and then unwind back at the campsite which boasts swimming pools, sports facilities and evening entertainment – plus it’s not far from the beach either!

How do I travel from the UK to my Eurocamp holiday?

For ferry and channel crossings to/from Calais – 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 – You can’t book your flights through Eurocamp as a package deal, 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.
