Coastal camping in Europe

Forget the chilly weather and mud of the campsites in the UK, instead head for an Atlantic campsite in France or a spot next to the Mediterranean Sea. There's no shortage of places where you can camp near the sea in Europe. Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves lapping the shore and birds singing… welcome to Europe!

Camping in Europe is a great way to enjoy a family holiday. With guaranteed sunshine the further south you go and plenty of stunning views a camping holiday at the beach is a great way to relax. Get away from it all and enjoy life at a slower pace on a campsite by the beach.

Where are the best places to camp near the sea in Europe?

From campsites in the Netherlands to camping on the Costa Brava in Spain, there's no shortage of places to seaside campsites.

France also has a great selection of campsites with direct access to the beach and plenty of nature nearby too. As beautiful, and much warmer than the Isles of Scilly in the UK, why not consider camping in Europe?

The excitement of beachside camping in Europe

Beachfront camping with plenty of entertainment for everyone

If you’re searching for luxury camping accommodation that won't break the budget why not try glamping? You can stay in a luxury mobile home with all mod-cons and be minutes from the sea and golden beaches on a white sands camping holiday.

Why worry about the unpredictable weather when you can choose a dream campsite near stunning beaches? Do you long for warm sunny days and eating outdoors –a UK beach can't guarantee this. Plus you can experience stunning sunrises and sunsets that you won't see at home.

Discover so many ways to keep the kids entertained

If you're looking for something more active than just relaxing at a campsite by the water there are plenty of options at European campsites. You could go surfing, paddle boarding or snorkelling at the many beaches that are great for families with children.

Camping in north Devon or busy Cornwall may seem attractive but it’ll be busy, crowded and possibly chilly thanks to the unpredictable British weather. Instead, book a campsite by the sea in Europe and experience a memorable holiday. You’ll be on the beach in moments so there’s no need for a long car journey.

Make the most of your camping beachfront experience

How to enjoy your beach camping trip

To enjoy a relaxing holiday at one of our family-friendly campsites there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen. The sun can be intense at the beach, and you'll want to make sure you're properly protected.

Second, bring some good books to help you unwind. You'll likely spend a lot of time just relaxing on the white sand, so make sure you have something to keep yourself occupied. Finally, make sure to take time out with the kids. The beach is perfect for exploring rock pools, collecting sea shells and building sandcastles.

Why beachside camping can be an amazing experience

Forget wild camping, where you have to take everything, a stay at one of our coastal campsites gives you access to facilities such as the campsite pool, entertainment and many even have a spa. Some of the pretty seaside towns of France are reminiscent of St. Agnes or St. David’s in Cornwall, with great weather guaranteed!

You can still pretend you’re wild camping, as we offer tent pitches and spots to park up your mobile home. You can have an invigorating shower and use the bathroom facilities, which is especially useful after a day on the beach, even a pebble beach. Then settle in your camping chair with a glass of wine and take in the sea views.
