Looking to mix up your family’s sun holiday this summer? Why not try a camping holiday? No, not the tent-in-a-field kind. Rather a fully-equipped mobile home and fantastic facilities – some Clickies have said it’s even better than a self-catering resort holiday!
So, what do you need to know about camping holidays?

What exactly is camping accommodation like?

Stephen from our Product Team and Alan from our Sales Team both gush about how fantastic camping accommodation is versus a standard self-catering apartment.
You can choose from a 2-bed mobile home or a 3-bed mobile home which sleep 6 or 7 people respectively. Each mobile home contains:
- Four burner hob
- Microwave
- Kettle and toaster
- Full-sized fridge-freezer
- Utensils, cookware, kitchenware
- Air Conditioning
- Pull out bed in
living area - Duvets & cover and pillows & cases
- Gas BBQ
- Wooden decking with gate and outdoor furniture
Not only that, each mobile home comes with a welcome pack that includes tea, coffee, sugar, milk, toilet roll and a shopping bag!
Need a high chair, cot or a stroller? No worries, you can rent them all for €30 or individually for €12 for the duration of the holiday.
Don’t want to sacrifice valuable suitcase space to things like towels? No worries, you can rent them too!
- For €55 a family of 3 can
hire: 3 large bath towels, 3 hand towels, 2 tea towels, 2 fitted sheets and 3 beach towels. - For €70 a family of 4 can hire: 4 large bath towels, 4 hand towels, 2 tea towels, 3 fitted sheets and 4 beach towels.
Will there be other Irish families at the campsite?

We work in partnership with KelAir Campotel to provide our camping holidays so all the KelAir mobile homes are located in a cluster so you’re sure to meet other Irish families and your kids will become friends with other kids.
Do I not need a car for a camping holiday?
Traditionally, families would go on the ferry and drive but we’ve selected campsites that you can easily get to with an airport transfer. Or, if you prefer the freedom a car can offer on a camping holiday this can be arranged too. The campsites have so much in them and so many facilities that you don’t need to leave the grounds and, if you do, many have buses or shuttle buses to bring you to the nearest town.
There’s plenty of restaurants on the campsite and all mobile homes are equipped with a kitchen and a BBQ. You can stock up in the supermarket and relax at home without having to plan your dining around children’s bedtimes.
What facilities are there for kids?

Between the swimming pools, splash play areas, playgrounds and sports facilities, there’s plenty to keep kids entertained. The unique thing about a camping holiday is that kids will make friends with kids in neighbouring mobile homes and will be happy to splash together in the pool for the day.
In most campsites, there is either a KelAir Club Buzzy Bee kids club or the campsite’s own kids club where each day is different with activities like nature trails, face painting, talent shows, fancy dress parties and arts and crafts.
Where should we go?
The first thing you have to decide is whether you want to go to France or Spain. We have holidays to 6 campsites in France and 4 in Spain, but instead of going through all of them, here are the top 5 campsites that our customers have booked.
Séquoia Parc

Séquoia Parc is in Marennes in the South West of France and is 62km from La Rochelle. It enjoys the fabulous Mediterranean climate and there’s so much for families here that it would be hard for you to come home without a smile on your face.

Sylvamar

The Sylvamar campsite is in Labenne Océan, 25km from Biarritz. It’s near the town so you only have a short stroll to the strip if you want more restaurant choices or just a night away from the campsite. Or if you want a day at the beach, it’s a short 20min walk away.
