Best Family Friendly Campgrounds in Europe

But which campgrounds are best suited for this? I’ve asked my fellow travel bloggers which are the best family friendly campgrounds in Europe. We selected 20 from large campsites to intimate ones. Family Friendly Campgrounds: The Netherlands Camping de Pampel Contributed by Cosette from KarsTravels. Camping de Pampel is a fun campsite in The Netherlands in Hoenderloo on the Veluwe.

What’s the draw in van life Why am I drawn to this picture of the van life? It’s the idylic of going wherever you wanna go. In theory, you can roadtrip around the World, and since I have a very lenghty bucketlist, that sounds divine. We would have our own place while traveling. A van looks like a payable solution to see the whole world. The cosily feeling of a VW van is appealing. The…

Campsites in Croatia with kids
In 2016 and 2017 we spent the Summer roadtripping in Europe, especially The Balkan. The first year we camped most of the time, in 2017 a little less, mainly because of the weather. In the south it was too hot to pitch a tent, let alone sleep in it with 40+ degrees Celsius temperatures. We should have brought a portable solar panel with us, we had so much sun. It would have made some things a lot easier. In 2016 it was our first time roadtripping with a tent. We did it again in 2017, you can say it’s something we love to do as a family. Why, well lot’s…
