How to Do Eurocamp Without a Car: The Ultimate Guide

How to Do Eurocamp Without a Car: The Ultimate Guide

28th November | Sarah

Eurocamp type holidays have become a firm favourite with our family over the last 5 years.

When our children were small, they always loved visiting Center Parcs, but as adults, we preferred a city break and longed for warmer climates.

Eurocamp seemed to throw up the best solution- onsite activities for kids, fantastic pools and all based in a forest-like environment giving them extra freedom to explore. 

For us adults, Eurocamp had the bonus of offering sites near major European Cities and some even having the added plus point of a beach and guaranteed sunshine.

And the best part? 
You absolutely can do Eurocamp without a car.

In fact, as a larger family living in the north of England, we prefer to fly. No long 7-hour slog to Dover. No ferry queues. No motorway meltdowns. Just a quick flight and public transport from the airport to the parc. 

Flying has allowed us to travel door-to-door in around 7 hours to sites in Holland and Italy!

In this guide, we’ll answer all the questions people search for, including: 

Which Eurocamps are near an airport? 

What’s the best Eurocamp without a car? 

Which Eurocamp can you fly to most easily?

Why We Prefer Eurocamp Holidays Without a Car

For us, a holiday starts the moment we step inside the airport. No motorway stress. No breakdown drama. No long ferry crossing. Just a direct, easy journey. 

We often find flights + luggage for all six of us for £500–£600 return which coming from the north, is  far cheaper than fuel + tolls + ferries.
