The Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) and Alan Rogers have announced their picks for the leading European campsites at the recent Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show.
As we enter March, many of us will be thinking about which of the best caravan sites to head to, whether it’s a campsite in the UK, or you’re heading to the Continent.
The results were compiled after both the CAMC and the Alan Rogers campsite teams created a shortlist in conjunction with other experts in the industry, also factoring in feedback received from both members and customers over the past year.
There were 11 categories in total this year, with the Caravan and Motorhome Club Overall Winner going to Grubhof in Austria (see main image). Providing spacious pitches and beautiful views, the site is ideal for enjoying both winter sports and activities such as hiking and cycling, as well as more relaxing summer getaways
