Basically, life at the campsite in winter is the same as in summer. It often has the same amenities as in summer, because in winter , campsites in Austria and campsites in Italy also have a high season - especially those in the mountains and ski resorts . In this article I will try to answer all your questions about what it is like to live in nature in winter. However, think about it - if you have to book a place at a campsite well in advance in winter because it is so popular, it means that there is no shortage of people willing to spend time there and you can be sure that you will like it too. Remember that camping nowadays is not the usual camping site we remember from years ago.

Do you remember how, while traveling around Italy this year, we showed you a 5-star campsite in the Dolomites with treehouses, where there is no kitchen, but there is a sauna? Today I will show you this campsite from a slightly different side - the winter side. Because it is a year-round campsite that has two high seasons - one in summer and the other in winter. Caravan Park Sexten impresses from the moment you enter. It lies at the foot of the famous peaks of Tre Cime or Drei Zinnen in German. The campsite is located in Italy, in the province of Bolzano, but very close to the border with Austria - hence the two names for the same mountain. South Tyrol is a place where the German language is mainly spoken and you can also expect cleanliness and order like in Austria.

How do you view the almost 9-meter motorhome? Hymer decided not to stop at the Master Line models in the 780 and 790 systems and added a new proposal to them: Hymer B Master Line 880. The impressive length of 8.89 meters and a width of 2.35 meters rests on a tandem axle for the first time, using the SLC chassis developed by Hymer. This, in turn, results in excellent driving characteristics. Such a long motorhome might seem difficult to drive. The producer argues, however, that nothing could be more wrong. The tandem axle is connected to a 177 hp Mercedes engine. The complete set was equipped with a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic gearbox, which ensures perfect adaptation of the driving speed to the prevailing conditions, as well as optimized fuel consumption.

Did you know that most of the areas where campsites in Croatia are now do not belong to them? In the 1990s, the Croatian government gave these areas a long-term free lease to boost tourism in the country. Even in 2015, the legal situation of these leases was quite unclear. Everyone asked themselves the following questions: Will the owners of the facilities be given further lease? If so, for how long? Or maybe they will be able to buy them for their own? Therefore, the owners of campgrounds for a long time did not make large investments in campsites, fearing their unprofitability. But it was in 2015 that something changed and the Croats began to modernize the campsites one by one, and in fact most of the campsites from the list below are camps with a long tradition, which have been renovated in the last 4 years. So they have new swimming pools , new bathrooms, new mobile homes , new beaches and new infrastructure at the campsite. We keep our fingers crossed for the further development of tourism in Croatia!.

Frankia NEO is a real camping car for two people, intended for amateur drivers, i.e. those with a category B driving license. Thanks to the use of ingenious solutions and light materials from Frankia, it was possible not to exceed the critical value of the gross vehicle weight (GVW) - 3.5 tons. Built on the chassis of a very comfortable Mercedes Sprinter, Frankia NEO has front-wheel drive. Assuming not to exceed 3.5 tons and maintaining a comfortable interior, the car had to lose excess kilograms, so the structure is slimmer than usual, without losing the highest quality known from other motorhomes of this manufacturer. The side walls and the floor are made of aluminum , only the ceiling is made of GRP. The dimensions of the car are 6980/2240/2900 mm. It is designed for two people .

The original bodywork retains the grille, doors and headlights, while the windshield has been moved forward, the A-pillar, bonnet and roof have been redesigned.

Vacation is a good time for longer journeys, those not limited to one destination. Then it is good to have a bigger car that will not only allow you to take the entire package, but also provide more space inside. The driving pleasure cannot be overestimated either. All this, at a reasonable price, is provided by the Spanish Ilusion XMK 730. It is suitable for both a family and a group of friends. The Ilusion on the Citroen chassis looks quite modern. It is 7.3 m long, 2.35 m wide and 2.75 m high. It is designed for 4 people (optionally 5), the same number will sleep in it.

The range of Adria motorhomes is constantly expanding. The Slovenian company focuses on comfort, practicality and new, shorter layouts, which was reflected in the latest offer presented at the fair in Dusseldorf. The offer of the Adria brand has long belonged to the rich. But in the 2020 season there will be even more versions available! There will be new, this time shorter versions of the Sonic, Coral, Matrix and Coral XL models. A new version of the Compact model was also presented. Adria's motorhomes have been redesigned in the last few seasons, so it can be said that they have not gotten old yet. And yet, there are changes and additional versions every season!.

Adria was shining at this year's caravanning fair in Düsseldorf! It happened thanks to the new, luxurious caravan of Adria Astella. From the outside , Astella looks more like a modern home than a caravan. There are also designer solutions inside.

He can take his perfect home with him wherever he wants.
