We are travelling in August for 3 weeks, Calais, Luxembourg, Swiss Alps, Grindelwald, Italy (possibly Lake Garda) and back up through Annecey. We need some family friendly basic campsites. Can anyone suggest any ones that really are a good choice. Not keen on the massive sites, although whilst in Italy (which we plan to stay a week)it would be nice to have one with a pool and play area, but not that fussed if it doesnt!

Thank you!!!!

Hi Helen

we spent 6 nights in Camping Birkelt in Luxembourg last summer and really enjoyed it. It holds around 420 pitches so one of the largest we have stayed on but it didn't feel too cramped.

good luck your trip sounds amazing

Depends when you leave but an ACSI card will give you great sites for 10/16 euros from about mid / 3rd week August.

We travel on the 4th August for 3 weeks. So I am guessing it wont be beneficial! Any ideas would be great, thank you!

Helen. I'd forget Lake Garda in August. It will be packed.

If you are buying a vignette to travel in switzerland I'd stick at that. For Grindelwald have a look at www.eigernordwand.ch and then explore other parts of that country.

But if you love mountains and want to put your toes into Italy then the Gran Paradiso national Park is good, and the Dolomites are amazing, but Lake Garda sites will be jam packed with people in August.

Lake Iseo might be a lot easier ... try Camping Iseo ... there are a couple of others next door if it is full.

If you like lakes and mountains, why not consider Austria?
It's much cheaper than Switzerland - 10day vignette 8.30e, in my opinion prettier and it's easy to get to Italy. The campsites in Austria are some of the best in Europe.
