Our family has had four Eurocamping adventures over the years and people often ask which campgrounds were our favorites. Sometimes a campground is interesting because of its proximity to a beautiful natural area or a great city. But other times a campground can be memorable and extraordinary.
Here are a few of the most memorable.
Camping Castel San Pietro above Verona
Camping Castel San Pietro (Verona, Italy)
Imagine camping in the ruins of the ancient city walls high above Verona. What could be more exciting? The tent sites are fairly small, but there is an extensive network of wooded terraces with enough space to set up a tent. The views of the city are incredible and we enjoyed the covered picnic shelter for dining al fresco.
Camping in the Buda Hills
Zugligeti Niche Camping (Budapest, Hungary)
Located in the hills above Budapest, this campground was once a historic tram terminal and the station building now houses an on-site restaurant offering authentic favorites such as goulash. The owner is friendly and helpful and greets guests with a welcome drink and free breakfast. Nestled in a wooded setting, the campground is fairly convenient for public transport to the city with a bus stop right outside the entrance.
Luxury Camping near Chambord
Camping Chateau du Marais (near Chambord, France)
This campground is far from roughing it. On the grounds of a chateau less than 1 km from magnificent Chateau du Chambord, this site is in a beautiful setting and features a water park, tennis courts and mini golf.
Camping Michelangelo above Florence
Camping Michelangelo (Florence, Italy)
Camping Michelangelo offers the best views of Florence and rates are a steal for staying in the city. With a terrace restaurant, store and the city of Florence a short walk away, camping under the olive trees is convenient and memorable.
