Hi,
I apologise for the length in advance :/
I'm new here so firstly I'd like to say hi and quickly introduce myself.
I had camped for years growing up then fell out of it when I met my now fiancé who enjoyed renting houses or hotels to holiday in rather than stay under a canvas.
Fortunately for me we have agreed on a reasonable side camping trip this year so she can try it out and see whether it's something she'd consider continuing with...
So my questions to you knowledgable guys and girls on here are the following...
We plan on travelling through France, into Italy (maybe via switzerland), up into Austria or Slovenia first then Austria, up into Germany to Amsterdam across to Bruges in Belgium then back to the UK.
We are aiming for around 30days as we have been approved holiday for that length of time.
We are trying to do this on a budget, are there any recommended low cost campsites that you would personally recommend, all we require is easy to get to, beautiful scenery for walks and clean toilets (that is a prerequisite according to my fiancé lol) oh and some that are perhaps not far from train stations if possible or in walking distance of nearby towns etc
Also, what equipment will we require for such a long camping trip, the tent would have to be easy to get up and down but durable due to moving from site to site every few days... We are renting a house in Bologna, Italy for a week to keep Hannah happy.
Mode of transport would be my trusty Ford Fiesta so space is limited.
I hope some of this makes sense and that you intelligible guys and girls are able to offer some personal recommendations either on camping sites across Europe and which camping equipment to bring...
Thank you in advance,
Jack

Hi,
My gf and I (now wife) did a similar trip when I was 23. We drove from North Wales in my VW golf mk4 tdi packed with a 3 man dome tent and many accessories...
It was our first holiday together, so it was going to be a test of our relationship, but as I said we are now married and have a little boy and have upgraded to a mk5 golf and a folding camper.
..anyway back to the story... I made sure that the gf could take as many of her home comforts as she wanted, I.e hair dryer... And lots of clothes/shoes (which you ll have plenty of room for under the seats of the fiesta) make sure you have a comfy bed (air bed) and a duvet, blankets, sheets. Layers is important as nights in the mountains can be freezing, but very cosy just the two of you in your tent as long as you have plenty of bedding. Also I'd recommend packing a couple of folding chairs.., a must! Obviously torch, tool kit, Cooker, gas, pans, etc... As you can tell I was in the scouts, so I tend to make a kit list :)
We only went for 2 weeks and travelled right through France to Antibes, Monaco, Italy, Simplon Pass, Zernatt, the Rhine... We had a fantastic trip and would do it again tomorrow..
Top tip, don't take a sat nav, use your map and sense of direction/adventure... Makes a holiday ... Enjoy :)
