May Half Term For Under £500
May Half Term Holidays are one of the best times to visit a Eurocamp park. Whether you plan to stay in one of Eurocamp’s resorts, villages or campsites, I’m here to find some of the best offers for your family.
The reason May half term is such a good week for Eurocamp Holiday deals is because the European school holidays run to a different schedule, meaning it’s only really the UK that has a school holiday at this time. So you get all the perks, cheaper holidays, less busy-ness and (normally) sunshine!
Below I’m going to list the best Eurocamp May half term offers I can find, many of which we have stayed at ourselves (so I’ll also link you to our comprehensive reviews of them).
Just a heads-up on pricing and what’s open: the rates shown were current when I grabbed the screenshots, and they’re “from” prices, so they can change quickly depending on the accommodation you choose, availability, and how many people you’re booking for. And since May sits outside peak season at a lot of campsites, it’s worth double-checking which facilities will be running during your dates, for example it’s pretty common for kids clubs to run a limited schedule at this time of year.
Eurocamp Holidays Under £500
I’ll be honest, there are an unbelievable amount of 7 night Eurocamp holidays under £500 available, to see for yourself head to the website:
