Holiday camping trips give children the opportunity to have fun outdoors, prepare meals together outdoors and feel the atmosphere of a real trip. However, you should prepare yourself properly for each trip, especially for the one with the little ones. In order for the road to the chosen holiday destination to be safe and the stay at the campsite to be pure pleasure for the child, we must ensure that the motorhome is properly prepared for driving and the equipment that is useful on site. We suggest what to remember when planning a camping holiday with a child!.

Camping with a child - what to take?

Croatia has been tempting and captivating with conditions conducive to relaxation for years - beautiful beaches, warm waters of the Adriatic Sea, cities filled with monuments, proximity to stunning nature and the possibility of active recreation. Idyllic holidays are almost at your fingertips, in Istria, 12 hours away from Poland. The country located in the north of the country will appeal to fans of caravanning with family and friends. Find out why below. Croatia, or rather the Republic of Croatia, is a country located in central Europe on the Adriatic Sea. It borders Slovenia to the west, Hungary to the north, Serbia to the north-east and Montenegro to the south-east. In the middle of the country, in its eastern part, there is also a short border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Croatia is inhabited by around 4.5 million people and covers an area of 56 535 km2. The capital city is Zagreb and the official currency is the Croatian Kuna. The length of the coast, including the islands, is an impressive 5,835 km. It is worth knowing that the topography differs in the north from the south. The north is a lowland area with low mountains, while in the south you will meet mountains up to 2000 m above sea level. The highest peak in the country is Dinara, 1831 m above sea level. Interestingly, Croatia has a two-fold climate - on the coast it is a Mediterranean climate zone, with rainy winter and dry hot summers, and in the rest, temperate continental - with cooler summers and dry cold winters with possible snowfall.

In August 2014, we went with our Polish tent - Polsport GK-110 to Bory Tucholskie. We left Toruń on the road number 91 towards Gdańsk, and in Świecie take the road number 240 towards Tuchola. We passed Bysław and in the village of Szumiąca, at the EWA Inn (a few words about it later), we turned left and immediately, the first right, into the forest. This particular road has a traffic ban, but I used to ride that way all my childhood, so ... you understand. This road will take you straight to the town of Zamrzenica, and winding a few kilometers further - to Piła Młyn.

Costa Smeralda - "Emerald Coast" - is a romantic term for one of the most stunning regions of Italian Sardinia. It fully reflects the character of a place that attracts thousands of tourists and ... celebrities looking for world-class beaches and seaside attractions at the highest level. This part of northern Sardinia, seducing with kilometers of sandy coast, is perfect for a romantic getaway just for two. It's hard to resist Mediterranean magic by dipping your feet in the fine sand of the most famous beach on the coast - La Cinta. Sitting on this narrow piece of land that cuts deep into the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, you can admire from a distance the winged paradise of the nearby lagoon, full of colorful, singing birds.

Nowadays, it is difficult for us to imagine everyday life without amenities, such as electricity. It is similar with going on vacation with a camper or with a caravan - thanks to energy, we can use our favorite electrical devices, gadgets or lighting, ensuring comfortable use of the vehicle and a comfortable stay at the campsite. Although holidays in a camper are equated with freedom and independence, it is worth taking care of constant access to electricity before leaving, equipping the vehicle with the necessary power sources. Which one should you choose to avoid unpleasant surprises on your dream trip?

A motorhome with a good boost

Catalonia is undoubtedly one of the most interesting regions of Spain. Catalans are proud people who love to emphasize their cultural and linguistic distinctiveness at every step ... and also to boast about the wealth of their "little homeland". Unfortunately, to get to know this unique place on the world map, you need to spend some time here - Catalonia itself consists of several very different provinces and you can spend a few weeks in each one. Therefore, a great idea for people planning a vacation in Catalonia will be to spend a vacation in only one of them. Thanks to spending more time there, we will be able to get to know it really well - both people and their traditions. So where is the best place to start your great Catalan vacation? For example - in Girona.

Everyone likes to eat treats, right? Especially if they are prepared using traditional methods from high-quality products and are available at an attractive price. If you go to the Festival of Flavors in Gruczno pod Świecie in August, you will be able to try these delicacies as much as you want. The Festival of Tastes in Gruczno is a cyclical event, I do not know which edition it was this year. Certainly, at least the fourth, because I've been there so many times. The festival takes place in a charming place, near the old mill in Gruczno.

This vehicle is not actually a caravan. By design, it is a full-fledged house that can be transported from place to place. What's the difference? First of all, it is uncompromising - it is not a vehicle for a while, but a home for good. When we travel for tourism, it is easier for us to endure the temporary inconvenience. We know that minor inconveniences will not last forever, and the opportunity to spend time in beautiful natural circumstances will reward us a lot. However, if we were to live permanently in a caravan, we would not be so understanding - especially if we had a small caravan at our disposal.

Hungarian cycling routes will satisfy every cyclist. There are many of them and they lead through beautiful regions - for example, the route around Lake Balaton or Szombathely, along the Tisza and Danube, the Kaposvár-Siklós route or finally EuroVelo, which is part of the European Cycle Route Network, can be used. The vast majority of routes extend through relatively easy to overcome plains or small hills, so all you need is beautiful weather and a little willingness to go on a family trip around Hungary . Another attractive route is the Budapest-Velence route, and Budapest itself encourages you to check its interesting points on two wheels. There are special lanes in the streets and bicycle paths at the most important tourist attractions and in the city center. Double-track is an extremely important means of transport in Budapest, which is confirmed for example by the fact that there are trips of the Critical Mass in the city twice a year, and on the last Friday of the month - a ride called "minimum weight". Thanks to the wide offer of Budapest rental companies, everyone will find their perfect vehicle. Help is provided, among others Zebra Bikes, a rental with a range of services for families with children (toddler bikes, bikes with trailers, child seats etc.), BikeBase or Budapest Bike, where we can rent a tandem.

Traveling in motorhomes or trailers tempts you with a sense of freedom and freedom of movement. They allow you to take a bicycle or scooter on your dream vacation, which you can use to explore the picturesque surroundings of mountains, lakes and forests. Before setting off on a trip, it is worth considering the method of transporting equipment that will allow you to spend your time actively while on the trip.

Big luggage - a small problem, i.e. about trunks and the transport of things

At the beginning of August 2016 it was time for the final packing and on the fifth day of this month we set off on our first long journey with a caravan. Good-natured Niewiadówka has undergone quick and renovation (replacement of power, towing handle, electrics); the tug with the rest, too, and you could swish. We left Toruń around 6 pm, choosing free routes through the Czech Republic and Slovakia, crossing the border in Cieszyn. We figured out a bit the route through Slovakia and landed on road number 14 near Banska Bystrzyca, which, to put it mildly, is not the most pleasant way to drive. It is not about ascents , ascents and descents, but about ordinary holes and the slab structure of the road. Honestly, Fiacik had unpleasant rocking and vibrations, which made the ride arduous. Plus rain and fog. Fantastic combination.
