Travelling to European Holiday Parks
Decided to try out some holiday park fun where the sun is a little more guaranteed?
Trying out camping in Europe is increasingly becoming a popular option as families seek to sample the outdoor life in France, Spain, Italy, and other great European family holiday locations. Many families are choosing to drive to their holiday destinations as a cheaper and more relaxing alternative to joining the throngs of tourists at airports during school holidays.
Although the logistics are a little more complex what with having to drive on the right hand side of the road and get yourself over to the continent via ferry – it’s actually very simple to take the self drive option which has the double bonus of saving on car hire costs and letting you drive a car that you are more familiar with to the camp site or holiday complex you have chosen for your vacation.
There are several ports in the UK from which you can depart, most of which are located in the Southern parts of England. France is one of the most popular arrival points with ferries departing from Dover, Calais, Portsmouth Bilbao, Folkstone, Poole, Newhaven, and Plymouth. Our first suggestion for planning a family holiday park trip to Europe is to investigate which ports are closest to you and if any of your desired destinations are sailed to from there. If convienience is high up on your list of holiday selection criteria this might make selecting your destination much easier!
