Anyone who thinks camping with a tent, caravan, or motorhome is the same as a “budget holiday” is (unfortunately) not entirely correct. Especially in popular vacation spots and during peak travel times, camping can sometimes require a bit more of a budget. But don’t worry: There are still some campsites in Europe where you can camp affordably – or get tempting discounts with the camping.info FANCLUB.
Here you'll find affordable, highly-rated campsites with great value for money, as well as great tips for an inexpensive camping holiday.
Anyone who wants to camp “properly” will of course need a vehicle: Primarily, a motorhome or a caravan can make camping quite expensive, but over the long term, the initial costs tend to pay off.
The cost for a night at a campsite varies depending on the destination, travel time, and facilities. According to the camping.info price comparison, the price range for a night is between 13 to 38 euros for two people in the high season, including the pitch, caravan, electricity, and local taxes. To help you assess the price level when planning your holiday, camping.info also provides a comparison price for both high and low season for each campsite. If you choose an affordable site and cook your own meals in your camping kitchen, your holiday will definitely be cheaper (and of course always better and more beautiful!) than in a hotel. You should also consider any additional costs, such as for shower tokens, activities on-site, and fuel, in your holiday budget.
How much you ultimately need to spend on your camping holiday depends on several factors and is difficult to generalize. The fact is – you’re the one in control of your wallet. With our tips and tricks and tested campsite recommendations for affordable camping, you can still grab some real holiday bargains.
Discover affordable FANCLUB Campsites in popular travel destinations with real camper reviews. Additionally, the provided comparison price for the high and low season will help you get an initial idea of the overnight costs at your chosen campsite.
