8 and a half years later......
Anyone done a Eurocamp holiday recently? Considering going to The Vendee region in June, getting the ferry or chunnel to Calais and driving to the site. Looks like a 6-7 hour drive from Calais, and with 2 kids will need a couple of stops. Might break it up and stay the night about halfway, so we arent getting to the site to late in the day.
Anyhow, just wondered if anyone had any recent experiences they wanted to share?

When we've been we normally travel to st Malo or roscoff form Portsmouth or Plymouth. Less driving on the other side but Longer ferry journey (we normally get overnight) but would rather have kids running around ferry than screaming in back of car. My kids love eurocamps especially kids clubs8 and a half years later......

The best campsite directory on the net... https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/ covers Europe too, but I never wandered that far. You can also use filters for things like having fires, pub on site ect.

Agree. We have done Roscoff a few times. Head for the coast south / west of Quimper. Its only a couple of hours from the ferry. Calais is a full days drive from anywhere nice.When we've been we normally travel to st Malo or roscoff form Portsmouth or Plymouth. Less driving on the other side but Longer ferry journey (we normally get overnight) but would rather have kids running around ferry than screaming in back of car. My kids love eurocamps especially kids clubs

Went to this one in 2016 with my ex and her(then) teenage son and my teenage daughters. Lots of things to do. Zip wire, water slide with pool, outdoor and indoor swimming pool, segway, paintball, horse riding etc etc. Brilliant holiday, and where i penned the infamous -'She's Got Big Ugly Feet' thread: )

Yeah, much shorter drive in France, but ferry price is £500-600 in comparison to £200 ferry or chunnel to Calais!
