Eurocamp packing list: what you really need to bring!

Eurocamp packing list

Planning a Eurocamp holiday is exciting, but packing for one (especially with kids) can feel overwhelming. From bedding and kitchen essentials to clothes for all weathers, there’s a lot to think about, and it’s easy to forget the little things that make your trip more comfortable. Whether you’re heading to a Eurocamp in France for the first time, travelling with a dog, or just looking to streamline your packing, this ultimate Eurocamp packing list will help you be fully prepared for a smooth, stress-free holiday.

What to pack for a Eurocamp holiday

I like to think that we have become pretty good at packing over the years. Three kids and a VW T5 campervan does not leave much space to store items, so we have to avoid overpacking at all times. A well organised packing list can really take the stress out of packing, and avoids the hassle and additional expense of. buying items that you have left behind.

Here we have listed all the items that we tend to pack for a Family Eurocamp holiday. We have always taken the ferry over, so do have a little more luxury in terms of space for a few additional items than we would if we fly.
