Camping in Europe – The Ultimate Freedom
Executive summary about Camping Europe by Patricia Delto
Camp Europe
The word “camping” derives from the latin “campus” and meaning “field”. Today camping is a way of spending your free time, or vacations, rather, in or very close to mother nature, because this is where camping takes place.
Almost all over Europe you’ll find a well supported network of camping sites providing all sorts of comfort and convenience. Any visitor, if with tent or trailer or mobile home, finds spaces, comfortable convenience and sanitary facilities as well as power outlets and TV receptacles.
Everybody who ever went camping appreciates its upsides. You are getting a lot of fresh air; you are independent from hotels and other kinds of accommodations. There is no dress code to watch out for and there are no fixed dinner or breakfast schedules to keep. Most sites are located right at points of interest like rivers or lakes, on vineyard or at the seaside.
Another pro is the kind of comradeship within the camping community. Nowhere else do you find friends as fast as on a camping site while barbecuing, having a glass of wine or simply just talking.
Camping in Europe is a Matter of Style
Executive summary about Camping Europe by Gareth Powell
In Europe, hotel charges bite far deeper into budgets than you would sometimes expect. In Britain there is the inexpensive alternative of bed and breakfast. This does not exist to such an extent in the rest of Europe.
One way of getting around this, particularly for friends planning to travel together around the Continent, is hiring a car and, in summer, staying at camp sites.
Europeans are fond of the outdoors and there are camps sites wherever people holiday. There are, perhaps, three types of camping: luxury, pretty snazzy and bring your own tent. Which you select is up to your budget and style.
The campsites come with a variety of amenities — most have restaurants, bars and either a swimming pool, lake or beach. All campsites have running hot and cold water, modern washing facilities and fresh water taps close to the tents. For some this will be paradise and for others, perhaps a form of hell.
Many of the sites are in France, in the Loire Valley, Dordogne, Riviera, Provence, Pyrenees, Brittany, Normandy and Picardy. Free child care is provided at about half the camp sites.
