Guest JudgeMental Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 You will find that those who moan about high season camping hardly ever experience it. some of us have no choice but to go away high season. In our case my wife is in Education and up until this year our kids as well (now at Uni and doing there own thing) I love getting a way high summer because of the weather..but you have to plan ahead if you want the best spots. Before the children we still had to go away high season, but we never booked in advance and we always managed to find somewhere. The only area I did not like at all as it ws far to packed and busy was Argeles and around...trully awful. further south into Spain fine and west into Cote de Azure beautiful This year we are heading through Germany to Croatia and back up to Italian lakes where we have booked our favourite site. another trick is to drive through the night avoiding traffic......

Apart from late July/ August no it is not. Do not use my van in winter as I spend a lot of time skiing and go to chalet. I must be one of the idiots, only go when the sun comes out.

Guest Tracker Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Even on bank holiday weekends there are always quiet places to find. You just have to be prepared to go well away from touristy places such as popular beaches and lakes etc. Why go there when you can go there any other time of year? All it takes is a little research and initiative allied to experience and a good map to find peace and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite is camping Fornella, but it is usually booked up around Christmas time for high summer, outside July/August you should be fine http://www.fornella.it/camping.c/p-6x2x357/Camping-Fornella.html.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1footinthegrave Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Alf, I have spoken to so many people that complain of this, I guess you must look as though you want company LOL. However with possibly the exception of the July /August time we always manage to find a quiet spot. Of course that's the big advantage with a van, you can always move on, not so easy with a pre-booked hotel in Salou or where ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dikyenfo Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I do have a solution to the problem of close parking and when I clock someone going to get near me I open the door to its fullest extent and there is no way they can get too close. One time in Spain I got a close parker he nicked me wheel trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
