If you are thinking about an extended holiday somewhere in Europe, think about taking a campervan trip — instead of going somewhere, you could go everywhere! Here are five destinations that may interest you and if you’d like more suggestions, there are also five regions that can be considered. Before you plan anything, make sure your campervan insurance policy covers you outside of the UK.
Munich, Germany: One campsite known as Oberstdorf is only around 15 minutes away from the centre of town. This provides easy access to all sorts of amenities and sights.
Hanover, Germany: Their premier campsite is called Prahljust and is in the centre of the Harz Mountains. This area is famous for its forest and mountain lakes. Clausthall-Zellerfield, with its wooden church and street market and the beautiful village of Buntenbock are attractions near to Prahljust.
Antwerp, Belgium: Hidden inside a nature preserve is the Baalse Hei, also known as the Green Caravanpark. This huge park will be sure to make you feel closer to nature.
Catalonia, Spain: Las Palmeras, a favourite European attraction, is just a short distance from Tarragona. This is an outstanding camping site for families or groups.
Buzancy, France. La Samaritaine is the name of the campsite in this quaint village. There are lots of areas to explore nature and hike around. Here you will find a lake (with a man-made beach), mobile homes and chalets to let and campervan pitches.
If none of these specific locations catch your fancy, why not head to a region and travel around within it. Here are a few suggestions:
The Fjords, Norway: One of Europe’s greatest wonders — the mountain scenery will leave you breathless.
The Masurian Lake District, Poland: This region has more than 2,000 lakes to keep the motor camper happy. At around 52,000 square kilometers it’s a wonder this isn’t a better known region.
The Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland: Switzerland’s awe inspiring peaks are an excellent destination. There are many camp sites in the valleys, and regular trains up to Zermatt will get you within a glance of the peaks.
Mont Blanc, France: Europes highest peak at 4810m is set in the centre of the French Alps near to the Italian border. When in a campervan though, this area is best if visited between the months of April to September. Camping areas are abundant in the area of Chamonix, which is near to the peak.
The Danube River. A great natural wonder of Europe — this trip could conceivably start at the Black Forest in Germany, and then wind through 10 different countries. You would see 4 European capitals before ending the tour at the Black Sea. This one is a personal favourite.
