Top tips for a budget-friendly Eurocamp holiday near Barcelona, Spain:

Travel off-peak: When you head to the city, visit the main attractions early in the morning or later in the day to avoid crowds and save on entrance fees. The shoulder seasons will also be much less busy than the main summer months.
Bring your food and drink: Supermarkets and local bakeries offer affordable options for picnics, saving you money on meals out even if you don’t fancy making sandwiches. Invest in a good cool bag rucksack and refillable water bottles – we don’t go anywhere without ours and it saves us a fortune!
Use public transport: The trains and buses in Spain are family-friendly and cost-effective, so avoid private transfers and use public transport (or your feet!) to get around where possible. All of these Eurocamp resorts near Barcelona are close to the airports too, so you can avoid car hire costs for your trip to Spain.
Plan your route: Use my Barcelona itinerary guide to plan your route in advance to avoid wearing little legs out and wasted time travelling between the attractions.

Pack carefully: Comfortable shoes and lightweight strollers are essential for city visits – you can hire a travel stroller from Baboodle if need be.
Look for Eurocamp deals: Eurocamp often has fantastic discounts and early booking deals, so be sure to book early or keep an eye out for special offers to save on your accommodation too. Check out my full Eurocamp guide for loads of tips on how to save money on your Eurocamp holiday.
Buy a combo ticket: If you want to visit multiple attractions in the city, use a website like Tiqets to purchase a combination ticket for the most popular things to see and do in Barcelona – you can get some ‘skip the line‘ options too which is so handy if you’re visiting with kids over the peak summer months.

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

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.
