France has probably the most 5-star campsites in Europe. It's very hard to choose the best ones, since there are so many cool ones. So we decided that the list would include those closest to Poland, although there are also a few facilities on the west coast. Remember, however, that this is just a drop in the ocean among the wonderful French campsites.

In the last two years, two new campsites have been created in Croatia, which immediately received 5 stars, and one has undergone a major transformation. Discover luxury campsites in Croatia !. (After clicking on the photo of the campsite, the profile of this campsite will open in our search engine or directly on the campsite's website.). . Istra Premium Camping Resort was established in 2019 on the premises of another campsite. It is very modern and has a great Aquamar aqua park , which consists of five swimming pools, including one infinity, four large slides with a total length of 350 m, including the highest one called Twister Slide, which is 10 m high and other water attractions such as a castle with several smaller slides. These pools have water heated to 28°C, and the baby pool is up to 30°C and is partially shaded. Some pools have fresh water and others have salt water. The campsite also has water equipment and bicycle rentals, as well as brand new football, volleyball and basketball fields, and tennis courts.

I am presenting you as many as 30 ideas on what to buy for Christmas for people who are crazy about caravanning and camping, but also for those who like hiking and simply enjoy being outdoors. We have and have been using most of the products on this list for several years, so I wholeheartedly recommend them. Some of these are on MY list for Santa. Who knows, maybe he reads it too :). Once you buy a Cadac grill , you will never buy another one. Great for transport, takes up little space and is light. It is also easy to assemble. We like to cook outside, and it's often too warm in the camper to do that. Some people are additionally bothered by the smell of cooked food in the car. You can cook on this grill like on a normal gas stove, and the food tastes even better than on a traditional charcoal garden grill . The advantage of having a gas grill is that you can cook on it at virtually every campsite, because most campsites abroad have bans on lighting charcoal grills.

Packing for a vacation is not an easy matter, and packing children (and even more so a baby) is quite a challenge. Every year it seems to me that I take fewer things, but there are still a lot of them, because we have more and more people in our family. However, there are gadgets that in my opinion are indispensable if you travel with a baby and even if I have to leave something else at home, I will take these things with you for sure! It is known that a baby needs a mom or dad most to be happy, but to make life easier on the campground (and possibly not to go to the shops afterwards) I like to have these few things with me, which I will show you below. I am writing this article from our two-month tour of campsites in Italy. We travel in a campervan with a small trailer for 4 people: me, Piotrek, Maks (3 years old) and Franek, who was 7 months old on the day of departure, so all the following things were tested on a regular basis and in recent years also by the older son.

We set the date of testing a motorhome from the Polish manufacturer Globe-Traveler in a few good months. All "demo" motorhomes (demonstration vehicles) were constantly on the road between numerous fairs and competitions, and catching one between events was very difficult. Additionally, autumn diseases often crossed our plans, as a result of which the first available date fell in mid-November. Where to go for a weekend in late autumn? Of course, for the Christmas market!. Due to the fact that we live in the south of Poland, we are relatively close to several European capitals where you can see the most beautiful Christmas markets. The choice was unanimous: Vienna.

We had been planning the trip opening the camping season for a long time. This year we decided that our May weekend destination would be camping in Italy . We wanted to go to Garda again, and an important argument was, among others, close distance to Poland. Even though it snowed in Austria the day before our departure, it was already sunny on the other side of the Brenner Pass, and during our spring break we even managed to feel the breeze of summer. We usually go camping with a camper or trailer. This time, however, we received an invitation to a campsite where there are no pitches! There was an opportunity to test accommodation in a holiday home, which we decided to do for the first time in our lives. Did we like it?.

A spontaneous trip without a planned route turned out to be a two-week trip to Istria and the Garda. Our goal was not a specific place in Europe, but to test our new Opel Vivaro called Vivek and to test new camping accessories. While the temperatures in Poland dropped below 15˚C, and snow fell in the Tatra Mountains, we went south in search of the sun. We bought vignettes before the Polish-Czech border. They cost us: Czech (1 month) PLN 96 and Austrian (2 months) PLN 136, but it is cheaper to buy them abroad, then we would pay PLN 22 less for the Czech vignette and PLN 30 less for the Austrian vignette.

The winter temperature in Norway is not spoiling, but it is worth considering a trip to Oslo at this time. I have been twice in the winter periods (in November and December) and I highly recommend Scandinavia at this time. It is enough to pack warm clothes in a suitcase and you can enjoy the beautiful Norwegian winter. If we also get sunny weather, we will not feel cold at all. If Norwegian preschoolers spend their days outside, so can we!. Walking around the city there is a lot to warm up. At the royal castle, on the Christmas market, you will find metal baskets with burning wood, in the port - a tipi with a fire inside, and in front of each restaurant you can drink coffee under the radiators. Interestingly, coffee in a restaurant in the port, which is the most expensive district of Oslo (and one of the most expensive in Europe), costs the same as on the market in Krakow !.
