Eurocamp May seem like a budget friendly holiday at first, but it’s easy for your spending to get out of hand. I’ve created this guide to help you save money, all the way from the choosing and booking of your holiday all the way to money saving tips while you are on your Eurocamp holiday.
So sit down, have a cup of tea and get holiday planning.
Is Eurocamp a cheap holiday?
Yes! in general, Eurocamp prices compare very favourably with other holiday companies, and there are always plenty of discount schemes available. Here are just some of the ways to save money:
Save Money On Eurocamp Holidays: While Booking
- Early Booking Discounts: Book your holiday early to take advantage of lower rates and better availability. The pre-registration is open for 2025 already and the early bird offer gives savings up to 20% off most accommodation prices for most holiday dates.
- Last-Minute Deals: If you’re flexible with your travel dates, last-minute deals can offer significant savings.
- Book Off-Peak: If you can, book outside of peak UK holidays, if you can’t May half term is one of the cheapest weeks to book as it isn’t a holiday in many European countries. If you are restricted to the 6-week holidays then the last week of August tends to be the cheapest week.
- Longer stay discount: If you’re planning a long holiday you’ll get 5% discount for stays 11+nights and extra 10% for stays 21+nights.
- Be flexible on dates: different arrival and departure dates may have better prices so try around with different dates on their website to see if you can shave some money off.
- Loyalty discounts: If you’ve travelled with Eurocamp or ALfresco holidays in the past you can benefit from an additional loyalty discount.
- Single Parent Discount: If you are travelling as a single parent you’ll get certain discounts on your stay. A short break discount of £25 is available on holidays of 3-6 nights. Whilst a 7 night stay can save £75 on holidays between between 30th June and 30th August and £50 on other dates.
- Eurocamp Special Offers section Whilst writing this Eurocamps current special offer is up to 30% off holidays on the Mediterranean. It’s worth checking out to see what’s available.
- By following me on Instagram, Tiktok or Facebook where I share all the latest offers as soon as I receive them.
- Book Your Travel With Your Eurocamp holiday as a package: Generally Eurocamp will have special rates on the ferries and tunnel crossings.
- Don’t book the linen packages: I don’t find it that cost effective. If they made your bed with the linen I’d be more inclined to book it for convenience. But instead you pay a lot of money for some bags of linen sat on your bed. Realistically you could pack an extra case of linen on cheaper if you fly, buy it new in a shop for a similar price or just bring it in your car.

Save Money On Eurocamp Holidays: While There
- 1. Eat In your Accommodation: Whilst it’s really tempting you utilise the on-site takeaway or explore the local restaurants, it really is a blessing, when you’re on a budget, to have your own kitchen in the mobile home. We save up all our exciting meals, all our easy meals and all our bbq’s for these holidays so it doesn’t feel like we are missing out. We also make sure to buy lots of local ingredients so that realisitically, are we getting anything different than what we’d get in a restaurant?
- 2. Make the most of free facilities: pools, parks, etc. The campsites generally have lots to do included. Pools, parks, exploring, beaches, forests, lakes, wild swimming, etc. There are tons of activities that don’t cost an arm and a leg and will stay in your family memories for ages.
- 3. Take Your own Bedding and baby kit: As I mentioned above, having your own bedding is much cheaper than paying for linen while you are on the campsite. If you are staying on a European campsite that isn’t a Eurocamp you may also get charged for borrowing baby equipment (free with Eurocamp).
- 4. Plan Your Daytrips meticulously: It’s easy to overspend on days out. Consider parking, fuel and toll costs especially. We like to use the Via Michelin website to figure out approximate toll and fuel costs, consider using toll free roads too – but obviously this will take longer.
Then you need to consider things like lunch out, stopping for drinks, potentially paying for toilets, etc. These seemingly budget friendly days out can easily add up. - 5. Find a Lidl or an Aldi: Food shopping in France is blooming expensive, I know, I live here (it’s seemingly not as bad in other European campsites). Meat especially is very dear as well as out of season fruit and vegetables. Try to buy in season foods and have no-meat meals where possible to save money on your food shops.
- I’d also avoid doing the “big shop” on a campsite supermarket as these prices will be hiked so much higher than local supermarkets.
- 6. Keep a daily budget and stick to it: We try and stick to a daily budget of around 30e, sometimes we go over, some days we go under. If you are really on a budget it’s worth setting a spending limit and really watching your spending’s. Whilst it’s easy to overspend – you’ll still have an enjoyable time without spending all your money.
Most Importantly, have a great time
