Eurocamp Holidays

Eurocamp Holidays offer a wide variety of parcs to cater for different tastes. Some are huge with 2000+ pitches; vast aquaparcs and an array of facilities and on-site entertainment whilst others are small, quieter and with fewer facilities. Both the brochure and the website make this really clear to help you choose a parc that is right for you and your family, whilst the person that I spoke to when booking was really knowledgeable, having visited both parcs that I wanted to stay at herself.

I opted to drive to the South of France but fly-drive options are also available. Eurocamp Holidays offer great flexibility with arrivals on any day and holidays for any period of time. Channel crossings and flights can also be arranged through Eurocamp Holidays, along with stopovers en route to make booking your trip as quick and simple as possible.

We stayed in three bedroom mobile homes which suited our needs (as a family of five) perfectly and gave my 15 year-old daughter the privacy she needs and a break from younger siblings at bedtime! All Eurocamp Holidays accommodation is really well equipped, with all those essential kitchen items inside and tables, chairs and sun loungers outside. We were provided with a Welcome Pack (consisting of tea, coffee, water, juice, wine, toilet rolls, washing-up liquid, tea towels and other cleaning essentials) which is a great idea if you are getting a late flight or always seem to end up with your essentials packed in the most inaccessible part of your car boot! The towel and linen hire was also really convenient and cut down on some washing back home.

Another great thing about a Eurocamp holiday is that it gives many children the opportunity to experience a far greater degree of freedom than they do at home. My eight and ten year-old would regularly take themselves off to play table tennis or mini-golf together, or go to the playground, leaving me free to relax with a book. The parcs tend to be so safe that young children cycle around freely or run errands by popping to the parc shop. My children have always enjoyed going to collect a takeaway pizza or buy croissants each morning which is something that they just are not able to do at home in London. The fact that they are armed with Euros rather than sterling and that I expect them to try to speak a little French also seems to add to the sense of adventure! We, along with many other parents, seem to relax and give the children more independence on a Eurocamp Holiday which could well explain why such a great time is had by all!

Eurocamp Holidays has also introduced some new additions in 2009 including new parcs in France and Italy; an increased choice of parcs in the USA and Canada with the option of staying in kabins, lodges or in a classic Airstream and also an enhanced range of accommodation options in Europe with safari tents and the new Sunlight mobile home available at selected sites. In addition, Eurocamp Holidays now offers the option of taking to the road in a motorhome with 14 pick up and drop off points in the US and 11 across Europe.
