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! Prices are per accommodation, not per person, so they can be a really great value for families. Eurocamp currently have accommodation available in: France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Portugal, Slovenia and Belgium.

How does Eurocamp work and how do you book?

If you’re wondering “Are Eurocamp holidays any good?”, I can honestly say yes – we’ve absolutely loved the holiday parks we’ve visited. Lots of Eurocamp sites aren’t actually run by Eurocamp themselves. Instead, they place their accommodation on holiday parks across Europe, so you get access to all the on-site facilities like swimming pools, entertainment and activities. However, the Homair Parcs (previously Marvilla Parks) in France and Alannia Resorts in Spain are both owned directly by Eurocamp. Here’s how to book a Eurocamp holiday:

To book directly:

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

There are loads of campsites to choose from, so it’s worth checking reviews, browsing photos and comparing what each one has to offer – the Eurocamp website shows how close each site is to attractions, cities, airports and beaches. If you’re not sure where to go, you can even leave the destination blank and see what’s available for your dates. One of the best things about Eurocamp is the flexibility. There are no set arrival dates, and you can choose the length of your stay, making it easy to fit around school holidays, time off work and cheap flights. You can either pay for your holiday in full when you book, or spread the cost with a small deposit and instalments, with the final balance due 10 weeks before you travel.

To book a Eurocamp package holiday:

If you prefer package holidays, you’ll be pleased to hear that Eurocamp has teamed up with Jet2 to offer all-in-one getaways – giving families the option to book flights, accommodation and car hire together as one protected package. You can find out more in more Eurocamp package holiday guide. They won’t suit everyone, as not all resorts and destinations are available, but they’re a great option if you’d rather 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
• Bed linen and towels
• ATOL protection

What’s the Eurocamp accommodation like?

Across all of our Eurocamp trips, we’ve only had one poor experience with the accommodation, so it’s not something I worry about too much. From what we’ve found, it’s less about the type of accommodation and more about how new it is. The Classic holiday homes are smaller and more basic, but they work well as a budget-friendly base – we had a good stay in one at Camping Cisano San Vito on Lake Garda. That said, the Comfort, Premium and Ultimate options tend to be newer, so they’re usually in better condition. If the price difference isn’t huge, we try to book Comfort or Premium as they offer a really good balance between quality and cost. If you have a large family, Eurocamp have holiday homes that sleep 8-12 people at selected resorts – my large family accommodation guide has some great options.

Eurocamp accommodation is ideal for families. You get much more space than a hotel room, your own separate sleeping areas (which makes bedtime a lot easier), and proper facilities for cooking and relaxing. We stayed in an Ultimate Plus Accommodation for the first time last year and loved it. They can be pricey, especially in peak season, but if you’re travelling outside school holidays, you can sometimes get a great deal and it’s well worth the upgrade. Not all sites offer this range though, so it depends what’s available.

Eurocamp has also started offering some hot tub accommodation, which is a nice bonus if you’re after something a bit more special – my Eurocamp hot tub holiday guide has all the details. If you’re on a tighter budget, or prefer a more traditional experience, there are also tent and glamping options available, some of which even include kitchens and bathrooms. My best advice is to check reviews for your chosen site and, if you can, go for a slightly higher-spec accommodation, as these tend to be updated more regularly. For more info, take a look at my Eurocamp Accommodation Full Comparison Guide.

Is Eurocamp cheap / expensive?

Eurocamp holidays can be excellent value for money. We’re lucky that we can travel term-time (home-schoolers), so we usually go in June or September when prices are lower and campsites are quieter. We’ve also taken advantage of Eurocamp sales and discounts, and typically paid between £25-£100 per night. Considering the quality of the pools, slides and on-site facilities, it’s been fantastic value for our family. For school holiday travel, prices can be higher but there are still ways to save. (Keep reading for my money-saving tips.) May half-term is usually the most affordable, and the last week of August tends to be cheaper than the rest of the summer holidays. (I’ve found 7 night breaks under £300!) Eurocamp is often one of the most affordable ways for families to travel – check out my 50 Eurocamp School Summer Holiday Deals: August 2026 from £272!

12 ways to save money on Eurocamp holidays:

✔️ Look out for the Eurocamp sales: Eurocamp advertise their sales on their own website – so keep your eyes peeled and check for additional discount codes (at the top of the site). Plus, you can benefit from an additional 5% loyalty discount if you’ve stayed before (it’ll come off automatically at checkout) and, for those travelling alone with children, they also offer a single parent discount.

✔️ Compare travel dates: Sometimes moving your holiday by just a day or two can make a big difference, so use the calendar to compare prices before you book. Eurocamp don’t have fixed arrival days, which means you can start and end your trip whenever you like. This makes it easy to plan around the cheapest dates or even match up with low-cost flights.

✔️ Use their suggestions: When you’re viewing a particular holiday, you can scroll down the page to view their suggestions for alternative dates / campsites – being flexible is probably one of the best ways to save money.

✔️ Combine discounts: Some external discounts can be combined with those on the Eurocamp website. Check loyalty schemes and memberships like: NHS Blue Light Card, Perkbox and Kids Pass. Eurocamp also give me exclusive discount codes so follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok to stay in the loop!

✔️ Include your travel: Booking the Dover to Calais ferry, or the Channel Tunnel Crossing (Le Shuttle), through Eurocamp is usually cheaper than booking directly so book it as a package if you’re driving. The ferry is really cheap – typically around £100 for a return (even at peak times). Le Shuttle was around £250 for our last trip – dearer but still a lot less than booking directly. If you need cheap flights, check out my Skyscanner guide or look at the Jet2 Eurocamp package holiday deals.

✔️ Book out of season: If you’re able to avoid the school holidays, you’ll save a ridiculous amount of money – we find September really affordable and quiet. If it can’t be avoided, May half-term or the last week of August usually offer the best value for money.

✔️ Think about the little things: Not all Eurocamp accommodation types include bed linen and towels so, if not, bring your own to cut costs. If you’re driving, you can also pack the car with food and other essentials.

✔️ Check the ‘special offers’ section: If you can’t see any obvious site-wide sales, the ‘Special Offers‘ tab is great place to find a trip that suits your summer holiday budget.

✔️ Make a plan: Plan a rough itinerary before you go to save money – the Eurocamp website shows what’s near each campsite, and a bit of extra research can really pay off. For example, in Rome you can visit the Colosseum for free on the first Sunday of the month. Plus, many zoos, theme parks and family attractions are cheaper on weekdays, so a little planning can help keep costs down. Websites like Tiqets and GetYourGuide are fab for finding discounted attraction tickets and excursions – there are loads of itineraries on the blog to get you started.

✔️ Choose wisely: Book a resort with lots of activities included to cut costs on entertaining the kids. For instance, a stay at Lake Resort Beeke Bergen comes with free entry to Speelland attraction park – whilst a Duinrell holiday comes with a free theme park – or book somewhere like Union Lido for the most incredible on-site aqua park. You’ll also find some sister sites share facilities – so book the cheaper resort as you’ll still get to enjoy both parks anyway!

✔️ Book a cheaper accommodation: A higher standard of accommodation is nice but 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 reduce accommodation costs if need be. Eurocamp also offer accommodation options for larger parties so you could save money by travelling with others.

✔️ Book early: We’ve booked plenty of trips Eurocamp and I’ve noticed that the cheapest prices typically come from booking a year in advance (when the new dates are released) or in the January sale.

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 but usually things like pools, flumes, kids’ clubs, play areas and entertainment are 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, don’t assume that all activities are included without checking first.

Is Eurocamp all inclusive?

Eurocamp holidays are almost all self-catering – that’s what makes them so budget-friendly and practical for families. However, they have added some new dining packages (with breakfast, half board or full board options) at a few selected sites in France and Spain – check out my Eurocamp Food Guide for all the details. Some resorts may also offer their own food packages or dining deals which you can book on-site. However, we’ve never visited a Eurocamp holiday park without a restaurant so, if you don’t fancy cooking, eating out is always simple.

How do I book a multi-stay Eurocamp holiday?

Eurocamp have finally brought back multi-stay bookings on their website – yay – and this time you have two options. You can select to add another stay (or more) when you go through to book (perfect for road trip holidays!) or you can book one of their new pre-planned multi-stay trips. If you’re planning your own, my guide on How to Road Trip on a Budget Around Europe is a great place to start, or check out my 3 Week Italy Road Trip Itinerary.

What if I need to makes changes to my booking?

I’ve always found the Eurocamp team to be really helpful, especially when it comes to making changes. In 2020, we had to completely rethink our holiday during the pandemic – we’d planned a three-week trip around France but, with just 3 weeks before we were due to leave, it wasn’t possible to travel there. I jumped on Live Chat with a new plan, a three-week road trip around Italy, and they rearranged the whole trip in one conversation. What I’d expected to a total headache was actually really straightforward. I had a similar experience booking our 2023 trip to the Netherlands – I had a discount code that wouldn’t work online but the Live Chat team sorted everything for me. I even added a few extra days later on (yes, I’m that indecisive person! 😂), and it was all very easy. That level of service is a big reason why we keep booking with Eurocamp.

Complaints: What is Eurocamp’s customer service like?

You might be wondering what Eurocamp’s customer service is like if something goes wrong. The good news is we’ve only had to complain a couple of times and both were handled well. The first was in Tuscany, where our holiday home was dirty, a bit mouldy and the oven didn’t work. We reported it to the rep, who explained they were in the process of replacing the accommodation but had been delayed by 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 brilliant. He got straight on the phone to the boss – we were given €100 for a meal out and moved 2 days later when a brand new Azure (now Premium) holiday home became available.

The second issue was in the South of France, where our accommodation was right next to the entertainment stage and the noise went on until nearly midnight most nights. There wasn’t anywhere else to move to, so we raised a complaint when we got home. Eurocamp responded straight away and offered either a £200 holiday voucher or a 50% refund, which we used towards our next trip.

Can I take my dog on a Eurocamp holiday?

If you fancy a dog-friendly Eurocamp holiday, there are loads of Eurocamp campsites that will allow you to take your 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 details on travelling with your dog.

Are Eurocamp pools heated?

A common question I get is whether Eurocamp swimming pools are heated. From our experience, it depends. Some are heated, some aren’t, depending on the campsite, time of year and location. It’s usually listed on the Eurocamp website, so it’s worth checking before you book.

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 – there isn’t one “best” Eurocamp, it really depends on what you’re looking for. If you want amazing scenery, Switzerland is hard to beat. For city trips, Italy is perfect. If your kids love waterslides, the South of France or Venice have some incredible sites. And, for short road trips, the Netherlands resorts are fabulous.
