Hi

Can anyone suggest any routes to Almeria / southern Spain leaving on euro tunnel on the 6th feb .We like to travel 300 miles max per day and prefer designated campsites but would also use Aires (not motorway ).

We are going from Calais to La Manga starting with the ferry on Feb 1 and our route is as follows:

Calais to Forest View ( English owned site near Remalard 226 miles

Forest View to Camping Beausoliel near Bordeaux 315 miles

Camping Beausoliel to De Haro 240 miles

De Haro to Arunjeuz 232 miles

Arunjeuz to La Manga 264 miles

Some of these sites are in the Winter Sun book from the Camping and Caravan Club

and the others can be found on the excellent ASCI DVD which shows quite a few sites that are open all year.

hi Thanks that is really useful

hi placeboy

the acsi card with site book and map are excelant

 but the dvd was essential as it shows a lot more sites they recomend but you dont get the reduced    fees if you have a laptop with you it is easy to find site that are open all year in the aera you are heading for

or if you are on desktop at home plan your route and note sites open enroute

we are traveling down that way early feb 4/6 weeks will go down central france and down the coast towards alicante and return via west coast in the hope the weather will be beter then

Try this link for details of campsites within 15 km of all the major routes through Europe - those open all year are highlighted in red, and all the POIs are available, plus contact details for the sites (just to check that they ARE actually open!!!)

Camping Beausoliel is open as I phoned them yesterday and booked a pitch for Feb 2, the lady there spoke better english than me.

The ASCI DVD shows quite a few sites that are open all year including a couple south of Bordeaux

  Camping Larouletta is just south of Biarritz at St. Jean de luz, is a favourite stop for a reasonable price, and only just off the motorway.

Exit A63. Junction 2 St Jean D L South follow site signs.

Regards.
