Goodliz Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 HelloDoes anyone have any recommendations for a week or so of camping - well not quite camping - one of those static caravans/ chalet type things will be fine. Last summer we had a week on a campsite in France and it rained pretty much everyday so I am determined not to go back there. Does anyone have any recommendations for places with almost guaranteed sunshine that will not break the bank please?There will be 2 adults and 2 energetic boys age 7 and 4. A good pool with a slide and some sunshine will do the trick!It will be in the summer holidays. Thanks, Liz Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15772-camping-somewhere-hot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly D Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 How far are you prepared to travel? The Spanish pryanees are absolutely beautiful and have the best campsites I've ever seen - many with log cabins. I've been quite often in August and the weather has always been perfect. Could fly cheaply to Girona with Ryanair, I think. Can't think of specific campsites offhand but will try to remember and let you know.P Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15772-camping-somewhere-hot/#findComment-410814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 We had a brilliant Eurocamps holiday in NE Italy near Venice last year. The weather was hot! and it was easy to get to Venice for a day trip on a local ferry (about one hour journey). It was slightly odd being without the car but we got a coach from the airport and then used local buses and hired bikes very cheaply. The countryside is very flat in the area with excellent provision for safe cycling alongside the roads. The campsite had a pool, restaurant and shop and it was also next to a huge sandy beach. I think the area is called the Cavallino coast (or something like that) and there are several campsites to choose from.

ladywotlunches Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Liz. What you describe sounds like the siblu parcs in France. Take a look at their site - I've not been there yet, but friends have recommended it to me. Good luck!

womanofdulwich Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 ANywhere near Lake Garda is lovely-especially if you are higher up to the north-west where is is a bit cooler and there are lots of smaller lakes and campsites Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15772-camping-somewhere-hot/#findComment-411061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodliz Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thanks everyone. I will look into all of these. Liz Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15772-camping-somewhere-hot/#findComment-411132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity girl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi Liz,We had a lovely time in the Cilento last summer. It's in Southern Italy, just below the Amalfi coast. Best avoided in late July/August though as it gets very busy. The place we stayed at was Villaggio La Siesta - chalet accommodation, lovely big pool with bar and restaurant next to it, and very close to clean beautiful beach with assigned sun loungers! Website here. You can fly to Naples and then hire a car to drive down there.

knackered cow Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sorry, just noticed you didn't want to go back to France so forget the above! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15772-camping-somewhere-hot/#findComment-411211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollybaby Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Which region of France were you in? The weather on the west coast can be a unreliable but if you head to the south/south east ie the Camargue or Provence you are far more likely to get fabulous sunshine.

EDmummy Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Love your suggestion Sanity Girl but I would warn that if you are driving from Naples that you would need to be a very confident driver - the roads are crazy (highways are nice though).

sanity girl Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 EDmummy I lived and used a car in Naples for 4 years so yes I am a very confident driver :)), but I think that if you are used to London driving it is no big deal. If you are taking a hire car from the airport you can avoid the city altogether and I don't think the experience on the motorways is that different from anywhere else in Italy (cars like to get up really close behind you and flash their lights until you move out of the way - very annoying!)
