How do I travel from the UK to my Eurocamp holiday in the South of France?

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 around £100 and the ‘Le Shuttle’ Channel Crossing was around £250 the last time we used it. The prices don’t really change during peak school holiday times either which is awesome!

Other ferry routes: If you’re looking for affordable ferry options to/from a different location then the Direct Ferries website is the best place to look. It’s a comparison website so you can easily compare prices and providers, see which route options are available and view any current deals.

For Eurocamp holidays with flights: Eurocamp offer some package holiday deals through Jet2holidays which include flights and car hire (click to check out). Not all resorts and destinations are available so many families book flights separately – use the Skyscanner website to hunt out the cheapest flights. You can sort car hire easily on websites like Expedia, or book your transfers to and from the airport through Suntransfers.

Is the South of France a good place to visit with kids?

Absolutely! The South of France is a brilliant destination for family holidays – here’s why it ticks all the boxes (without blowing the budget):

🏖️ Beaches galore for free days out: From the golden sands of Cannes to the calm, shallow waters of Île de Porquerolles, the coastline is packed with family-friendly beaches. Pack a picnic (local boulangeries sell amazing sandwiches and pastries!) for a cheap day out.

🏕️ Amazing family holiday parks: There are an insane amount of fabulous Eurocamp holidays in the South of France with waterparks, gorgeous beachside locations and tons for the kids to do. It’s family holiday heaven and can get some amazing deals slightly outside of peak season.

🍦 Ice cream, crêpes and pastries… everywhere: We all know one of the best parts of any family holiday is the food – and here it’s blissfully child-friendly. You’ll find artisan ice cream stalls, bakeries and crêperies in most towns.

🚂 Trains, boats & mini adventures: Public transport in the region is reliable and inexpensive, with scenic trains linking towns like Nice, Antibes and Monaco. Ferries from the mainland to little islands like Îles de Lérins are an easy day out. Port Grimaud is a brilliant place to visit too – the ‘little Venice’ of the South of France with its canals – and you can catch a boat to St Tropez.

🏰 History without the yawn factor: The South of France has some beautiful castles. Try Carcassonne, a real-life fairytale walled city – entrance fees are reasonable and under 18s go free. If you’re exploring by car, medieval villages like Èze and Les Baux-de-Provence are also worth a wander.

☀️ Sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine: The weather is gorgeous in the South of France over the summer months, so it’s the perfect family road trip destination. Driving can be a great way to save money too, and the motorways in France are easy to navigate.

When’s the best time to visit the South of France?

The best time for families to visit the South of France is definitely over the summer months or shoulder seasons. We’ve had a few trips down South, typically in June or early September, and these months offer the sweet spot between weather and budget. If you’re sticking to school holidays, May half-term can be a great option with warm temperatures and cheaper deals than the summer. Though June – September will offer warmer seas and pools for swimming.

To give you an idea of what the temperature might be like, here are the average daily highs and lows for the French Riviera across the year. Though in the peak summer months, the South of France regularly experiences heatwaves – with temperatures in the mid to high 30s especially in July and August. Temperatures also vary by location, with areas like the Landes (on the Atlantic coast) not quite as hot as places along the Mediterranean coastline.

January: High 11°C, Low 3°C
February: High 11°C, Low 4°C
March: High 13°C, Low 6°C
April: High 15°C, Low 8°C
May: High 19°C, Low 12°C
June: High 22°C, Low 15°C
July: High 26°C, Low 18°C
August: High 26°C, Low 18°C
September: High 23°C, Low 16°C
October: High 19°C, Low 12°C
November: High 14°C, Low 7°C
