Do Eurocamps in Italy have WiFi?
Most Eurocamps in Italy do have WiFi available, but a lot of the time it’s only available in certain parts of the parcs and charges sometimes apply.
Can you take dogs to Eurocamps in Italy?
While some Eurocamps in Italy don’t allow dogs, most do let you take them on holiday with you. You’ll most likely have to keep them on a lead though.
What’s included in the price of a Eurocamp stay?
Your Eurocamp stay includes accommodation, access to the kids’ clubs, and use of facilities on site including swimming pools, activities, and entertainment. Meals aren’t included so you’ll need to make your own food or head to the on-site restaurants. Duvets and pillows are generally provided but you’ll need to bring your own linens, or reserve them in advance of your trip.
What’s the best Eurocamp in Italy?
We think the best Eurocamp in Italy is Camping Village Fabulous. Close to the coast and surrounded by 70 acres of pine forest it’s a nature-lover's dream, and the brilliant pool complex and great range of family-friendly activities will keep everyone happy. The fact that there’s public transport right on the doorstep that’ll take you straight into Rome is another big factor in making this the best site to visit in Italy.
How we chose our recommendations
Because we know that there's nothing like a real recommendation from a fellow parent, we first headed to the Mumsnet forums to find out which Eurocamp sites were being recommended for families.
We then did some research looking at which Eurocamp destinations had won accolades and what customer reviews said about them. We looked at on-site amenities, accommodation options and location. Having collated all that information, we then narrowed our list down to the best Eurocamp sites for families.
