When one thinks of a European tour, camping is definitely not the first manner of seeing this amazing continent that springs to mind. And yet to camp in Europe is fast becoming a fun way for tourists and locals to enjoy the beauty of this rich and diverse continent.

There are a wide variety of camp sites in Europe that offer something for everyone. There are the more expensive camp sites which offer the camper a bit more luxury.

There are some that are slightly higher end which afford one some luxuries and then for those that are really on a tight budget there are ones that just offer the basics. These are perhaps ideal for students and those looking for a sense of adventure.

There is a new trend in that many people want to camp in Europe because they are keen to experience eco-tourism. This is a type of travel that more and more agents are providing specialised services in and they look to find packages that feature the best natural experiences in Europe. Travel agents offer the real nature lover a chance to trek through Europe by putting together a package that consists of the tourist hiking through certain parts of Europe over several days or weeks and stopping at night to camp or to stay in a modest bed and breakfast.

A camping trip is the perfect component of a cycling tour of Europe and this is something that many people are doing these days. It is likely to be as a result of the fact that there is such a great deal of emphasis on the issues of money and health at the moment. You will find that everything is a whole lot cheaper by using this method and this is definitely true if you compare it with an organised trip. Transfers, transportation and hotel accommodation costs all add up, but these are avoidable on a bicycle camping vacation.

Some of the most popular camp sites include Ilha da Berlenga in Portugal which is a small hillside camp site overlooking a secluded cove, El Burro Blanco in Spain allows you to escape into a different time as you explore the nine acres of woodlands that surround the camp. Another popular spot is Les Romarins in France which boasts a spot in the hills between Monaco and Nice. You can stroll through the olive trees and along the small roads and when your thirst takes over, enjoy a meal at one of the sidewalk cafés that France is renowned for.

So there is an incredible amount to choose from when considering the idea of going to camp in Europe. You will find that there is a great sense of adventure and you can choose your level of comfort as well as the type of experience that you would like to have in terms of the surrounding country side.
