The rabies jab needs to be at least 21 days before travel but you can get it done any time - it'll be 3 years before you need a booster for a UK administered jab. There was talk at one time that a blood test would be needed to show the dog had sufficient antibodies, thus prolonging the process, but that is not now needed.
You will need to get an Animal Health Certificate for your dog no more than 10 days before you travel. Not all vets do these so you'll have to check with your vet. The cost also seems to vary quite a lot. There are apparently on-line options, but I'm not sure on the details - I'm sure someone else will supply them, or use the search facility on here.
At the end of your holiday you will need to visit a vet more than 24 hours but less than 5 days before your return to the UK for the worming treatment and a general health check, and the vet will complete the Animal Health Certificate ready for your return. It is always advisable to check the document has been completed correctly with time, date, signature etc, as if not you could be refused travel. There are lots of recommendations on here for European vets (see the pinned Post at the beginning of this section) or your campsite can probably advise and may even make the appointment for you.
It is also advisable to get your vet to check your dog's microchip is working shortly before you go, and that you know where it is located - makes life simpler when you scan your dog at check-in if you know where the chip is meant to be!
It all seems a bit complicated the first time you travel, but don't worry, it's all pretty straightforward really. Enjoy your trip!
