Camping in Europe
Traveling in Western Europe is usually expensive. It doesn’t matter if you live in a European country and want to explore neighboring countries, or if you come from the other side of the world and want to taste the wonders that Europe has to offer, your expenses can exceed all expectations!
Do not deny yourself the pleasure of tasting wine from Tuscany, visiting the Jungfrau mountain peak in Switzerland, indulging yourself in Saint Tropez or fooling around at Euro Disney. So how do you get the most out of your vacation without hurting your budget?
The biggest expense while on vacation is accommodation. You can significantly reduce costs by staying at holiday campsites scattered throughout Europe (known as tourist bases).
These holiday camps are often small villages with 2 and 3 bedroom cabins, fully equipped beds, bathrooms and kitchens. Some of them even have terraces so you can relax outside. The campsites offer a variety of parking and bases, depending on whether you come with a trailer, trailer or tent.
Near many campsites there are small markets and eateries, as well as kiosks and even restaurants. The services and activities offered vary depending on where the campsite is located, but as a rule, there are always swimming pools, tennis courts, playgrounds and football fields and games rooms at your disposal.
You will be amazed at how inexpensive it is. As a rough guide, here you will have to pay 50 euros per night, compared to a minimum of 150 euros per night for a quadruple room in a two or three star hotel. Such savings over a longer camping stay will give you the opportunity to spend money on what is really worth spending money in Europe.
