I am already planning our summer holiday of 2020. I know its early but because of the financial outlay its best to plan ahead.
For those of you with kids school age that need to go during the summer holidays, have you ever tried a euro camp? If so, are there any you recommend?
My kids will be 7 and 3, we love a pool and to visit a beach. Other than that we're flexible. Will drive there so France is the obvious choice i guess. Many thanks.0 -
Have never used Eurocamp for our summer holiday but have often used them for late May and October. Always been really good.ChiAddick said:I am already planning our summer holiday of 2020. I know its early but because of the financial outlay its best to plan ahead.

In recent years we have used Alfresco Holidays, as their prices always seem better.
How far are you looking to go in France, as we've been to parks in Brittany, one North of Paris, the Cote d'Azur and down near Perpignan?0 -
Belek is very niceMrOneLung said:
Lovely sandy beach and some stunning hotels and complexes if you like that sort of thing
Bit to big and ott for me though0 -
St. Stephen's Basilica is worth a visit too.IdleHans said:Solidgone said:@IdleHans thanks for your comments as it’s on my list of city breaks. I’ve not looked into it yet but is there a city tour bus in operated in Budepest and if so would you recommend it?There are specific city bus tours, but we just used public transport so I cant really comment. Might be a very good way to start your break though.For public transport, buy 10 tickets for HUF 3000 (about £9) from the plentiful machines and just punch a ticket when you get on each tram/bus/tube.There's also a scenic chairlift, at about treetop height, that runs up to a lookout point and the Cogwheel, a rack railway, both (I think) included in the normal range of public transport services.Things I'd recommend are the castle, the parliament building, and on a sunny day Margaret Island park is lovely - shady, peaceful, with fountains, a water park, statuary and bars aplenty. Good views of both banks of the river from there. Look out for ruin bars too - shabby but trendyish drinking places set up in industrial type buildings and crappy courtyards.I imagine you can do a shortish scenic boat trip up and down the Danube too. I was there four days, though one was too hot even to move so we found a pub garden and stayed put all day. There is plenty more for me to see next time I go back, I reckon you could fill a week comfortably.

Thanks for your reply. I was looking in the Vendee region. Only because i've read about the fantastic beaches it has. I've not been to France much, so don't have any major preference on region. With the 2 kids, driving to the South West may be worth considering if breaking the journey up. I'll have a look at Alfresco Holidays.superclive98 said:

Went on a few Eurocamp holidays when the boys were little. Always good value and the sites are well situated. One particular one in Brittany is worthy of mention - La Pointe St- Gilles just outside Benodet.superclive98 said:

I've never stayed in any campsites in the Vendée but have had several holidays in the region and they have always been good.ChiAddick said:

It's a lovely area and generally has a great climate.
Wherever you end up I hope that you and your family have a great time.0 -
Depends on the park but mostly not. In France they tend to cater, not surprisingly, for the French and whichever country the park is most popular with, normally the Germans.MrOneLung said:At eurocamp and similar is the entertainment multilingual?0 - Sponsored links:

We stayed at The Liberty Lara Beach a couple of years ago. Nice hotel but wasn't over impressed with Turkey if I'm honest.0 -
Just back from 3 weeks in Majorca. Stayed just outside Pollenca Old Town. Lovely part of the world.

I’ve had a lovely family holiday to Sayalonga in Spain. The mountainous drive is a bit hairy but well worth it as it is a lovely quiet place.
In August, off to Ibiza for three nights with @Chris_from_Sidcup and a few others to celebrate our 40ths. Not looking forward to that much.....0 -
I wouldn’t say it’s early, people are definitely booking holidays further in advance these days. Just spent the afternoon arranging a clients trip to Borneo in October 2020.ChiAddick said:I am already planning our summer holiday of 2020.

Off to North Cornwall Saturday for 8 nights for our annual trip to the West country. 7 nights in a cottage and then 1 night in a Spa hotel for a bit of relaxation.2

Not a Euro camp but we did the south of France last summer, carcasonne (sp) the site was a Yelloh Village site and their website is really good and they have sites all over France. We are already looking at a different one for next year. Brilliant sites with plenty to do for the kids and great swimming poolsChiAddick said:I am already planning our summer holiday of 2020.

Fantastic beaches in the South West, particularly south of Arcachon....a word of warning....the sea can be really rough down there, great for surfers but not good for kids or those that aren't strong swimmers, I certainly found it a bit of a struggle on one particular occasion while swimming at Moliets....and I'm a fairly strong swimmer.ChiAddick said:

The sea can be pretty rough further up the coast too. Years ago we went to a really good beach at La Terriere, near La Tranche-sur-Mer and the waves were as big as I've seen anywhere. It was great for surfers and older kids on body boards. I think that my son was about 6 or 7 and he loved it, but he really couldn't go too far from the shore even with me next to him.Hastingsaddick said:

If @ChiAddick is considering going as far as Arcachon then I would suggest going to the Med instead. For the last 6 years we have taken our summer holiday at a place called Marseillan, which is on the coast between Montpellier and Beziers. The beaches are brilliant and the sea is very shallow and safe.
We always rent a house but there are loads of campsites situated right on the beach.1 -
And the sea should be calmer down there...that's pretty close to Cape d'Agde...where we camped in 2013.superclive98 said:

Szimpla kert bar was a brilliant atmosphere and really enjoyed the ‘pop up’ bars that were in the courtyards in the Jewish quarter.
only downside was when we went to Margrit Island, there were the equivalent of community payback people painting lamp posts. One of them had a dog. The dog decided we were fair game to become it’s new owners and followed us. 2 effing hours it took us to lose that mutt.1 -
That's right, just a couple of miles along the coast.Hastingsaddick said:
