Camping in Europe
Posted in Europe, General Travel Tips on Oct 21st, 2008
When we went to Europe in the summer of 2008 we decided to cut some lodging costs by staying in campgrounds. We had a great time and we saved a bundle of money. Camping in Europe is a great way to see Europe and immerse yourself in the culture. Some campsites are like North American ones and they are located in the country. Most cities have at least one campsite close to the city and with easy access to public transport to the city. We stayed in a campsite in Amsterdam that was next door to a metro station. We paid less than forty dollars American which is great for Amsterdam. Its one of the most expensive cities (lodging-wise) on the continent.
We stayed at a campsite in Austria and had a blast. The views were magnificent. We had showers, a laundry room, etc. All the facilities were extremely clean and it was a great way to see Germans and Austrians in a non-touristy setting. I can’t say enough about the Austrian Wilderness. We went hiking in the woods and came across an Austrian youth group having a church service in a clearing. We thought that the setting was very appropriate. Whatever your beliefs may be I can’t help but feel that you will experience some awe when you are in that part of the world.
