We all have our own habits; the way we do things. That includes how we travel. If we are used to four star hotels or to B&Bs, that is usually where we will end up the next time we are away from home, again. Therefore, it is quite possible that many of you readers have never tried luxury camping, and did not even know it existed. Let’s bring you up to date, so you can try a new experience, next time you go back out to visit Europe.
Five Star Camping Sites
If you are looking for the best camping holidays in Europe, you need to start giving some attention to the number of stars behind their names. That is because just like a hotel, there are some five star camping resorts, that offer the very best that you may expect, from any types of accommodations. To be honest, probably more, simply because the camping sites tend to be much wider than any other type of accommodations, which enables them to offer a lot more activities and amenities.
How Camping Sites are Rated
Surroundings and Environment
The star rating is usually based on four different characteristics. The first one is the surroundings and the environment. On a five star camping site, you should find yourself surrounded by the beauty of nature, anywhere you look. Depending on the kind of vacation that you have planned, it can be represented by mountains, lakes or the sea. But it will always be a “wow” moment, when you come into the camping for the first time, without a doubt.
Pool Complex
The second most important element on a camping site is the pool complex. It should be (as the name says it) a large point of water, with various pools that can be used for different activities. There should be one for the kids and another for adults, but it can also contain a network of slides and a place to play games, such as water-polo. Look for an indoor and outdoor pool, as well.
Entertainment
The entertainment never stops inside a five star camping site. During the day, you will find it through various activities, such as aqua gym lessons, sports tournaments, or more simply walking tours. When the evening comes, it is time to switch it around to shows and live music. You can also take part in cocktail games, and even dance all night, if you still got the energy left from your busy day.
Facilities and Services
Finally, facilities and services form the last characteristics by which a five star camping site can be defined. On top of the typical services such as restaurants, bars and pools, you will also have access to other ones, in order to make your stay as perfect as can be. You can request a massage, for example or stop by for a beauty treatment, a haircut or even a manicure, all inside the camping grounds. Finally, depending on the location, you may have access to boats or other types of water activities. Now you know: Luxury camping has nothing to envy to five star hotels. In fact, it is probably the other way around…
