Why tour in winter?

Sociability

Besides the milder weather, members return each year to enjoy the colourful local festivals, good food and wine at great value prices like the ‘menu of the day’ option and the social aspect of meeting up with old friends.

Overseas Site Night Vouchers

Members can enjoy the freedom and flexibility of travelling around Europe with our pre-paid Overseas Site Night Vouchers (OSNV). Valid on selected Club inspected overseas campsites, there’s no need to pre-book your campsite, however, February and Easter are busy periods, so please call ahead to check if the campsite has availability.

Top tips for first timers

• Book early! Travel in winter is increasingly popular so book early to guarantee your first choice of site and pitch.

• Make sure your passport is valid for 3 months beyond your intended return date from the EU.

• Pack comfortable shoes, warmer clothes for cooler evenings and a waterproof jacket as you may experience more varied weather in winter months.

• Consider investing in a Toll Tag to avoid stopping to pay at each toll on the journey.

• Make sure you have a continental two pin adapter for electricity connection.

• If you use gas bottles you may need to consider buying a regulator in case you need to buy a replacement bottle in Europe

• When travelling through France and in Northern Spain, be prepared for colder, wet and possibly icy weather in peak winter dates.

• 6 January is a national holiday in Spain and the majority of services, shops etc. will be closed except on motorways.
