The comforts of home

One of the best ways to enjoy a cheap family holiday without compromising on enjoyment is a EuroResorts campsite holiday in a mobile home.

Campsite holidays are becoming increasingly popular, as they offer home comforts at a fraction of the cost of staying in a hotel resort. With everything from beaches to lakes, forests to mountains, there is something for everyone on your doorstep. Plus, you don't have to pay extra for activities like swimming pools or playgrounds - it's all included in the price.

Let's get one thing straight

Cheap does not mean poor quality. Nor does it mean you have to scrimp on your holiday. The best thing about a holiday is having fun, spending time with people you care about and having time to relax away from the daily. A change is as good as a rest, so you'll still feel the benefit even if you have to take a bit of work with you or you save money by cooking your meals. Nowadays, with many companies offering work-from-home opportunities, you can extend your holiday or plan travel to coincide with cheaper prices.

Beware of false economy when planning a cheap holiday

Many families have been burned before by thinking they were booking cheap holidays by staying in caravans, tents, and air BnB accommodation. The accommodation may have been cheap, but when the cost of eating out and visiting places for entertainment adds up, it can blow the holiday budget.

That's why a EuroResorts Campsite holiday works out as a cheap holiday. Our prices are already competitive, but you can save money further with these tips.

Tips for saving money on a family holiday

1. Plan ahead. The earlier you start planning your trip, the more time you'll have to find the best deals on travel, campsites, and activities.
2. Choose a budget-friendly campsite. Campsites can vary significantly in price, so it's essential to research and find one that fits your budget.
3. Cook your own meals. Eating out can be expensive, especially when camping with a family. Instead, plan to cook your own meals in your mobile home kitchen or on the barbecue. You'll meet new friends, and you'll find yourselves planning evenings together.
4. Pack non-perishable foods such as granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, and easy-to-make meals like macaroni and cheese and instant oatmeal. It's always worth taking favourites with you, including breakfast cereal, if that's important.
5. Find free activities. All our campsites have fantastic facilities within the grounds, but you'll also find plenty of free activities in the local towns, villages and beach resorts.
6. Take advantage of campsite deals and discounts. Many resorts offer discounts for long stays holidays, loyalty programs, and off-season rates. Ask about these deals when you make your reservation, and take advantage of them to save money.
7. Look for the best times to travel. You will always find cheaper holiday deals if you can go outside the school holidays.
8. Prepare the children ahead of the holiday. Make it clear to them that you can only book the holiday if they agree not to ask, 'can I have...?' every five minutes. Yes, we know. We have all been there before. Those toys and icecreams add up and can blow the budget.

With some planning and creativity, you can have a memorable and budget-friendly family camping holiday. Following these tips can save money and help you make the most of your time together while enjoying the great outdoors.
