The reviews don't lie; this campsite is truly a gem. Beautiful, large, and green sites with some privacy provided by the hedges separating the plots.

Juwel on the Atlantic Ocean
Camping Le Puits de L’Auture in France
Just cross the road and you are on the beach! A spacious, green campsite in a charming seaside resort on the Atlantic Ocean. There is plenty to do and see in the area, and the sunsets are said to be spectacular. With an average rating of 4.5 stars, you can assume this is a top campsite to visit. To cool off, you can enjoy walks or bike rides through the forests, but a dip in the sea is, of course, also very refreshing.
View of an idyllic bay full of boats
Camping-car área Playa Arneles in Spain
Just a few minutes' walk from the peaceful sandy beach of Arneles, you’ll find this small-scale motorhome site. Since the pitches are terraced, you have a beautiful view of the bay from your motorhome. The paella at the chiringuito on the beach is highly recommended. You can walk all the way around the bay to the other side via San Cibrán to Aldan. In this bay, you’ll not notice mainy Spaniards and hardly any foreign tourists. Note: the drive to the motorhome stopover is a bit steep and winding, but it’s absolutely worth it.
The magical reddish-brown cliffs of the Algarve
Algarve Motorhome Park Falésia in Portugal
Here you are on top of the famous and photogenic cliffs of the Algarve. The motorhome site is very large but spaciously laid out. You can easily walk to the 150-step staircase that leads down to the beach. Of course, climbing back up after a day on the beach might be a bit longer. Supermarkets and restaurants are within walking distance of the motorhome site, and there is a wellness center around the corner which is highly recommended on a rainy day. According to our community, there is a shortage of showers at the motorhome site. But for all motorhomers with a shower on board, this is, of course, not a problem at all.
Right on the beach, fun for the whole family
Strand- und Familiencampingplatz Bensersiel in Germany
Sand and sea as far as the eye can see. Here you can really enjoy the fresh sea breeze. The campsite is large but spaciously laid out.

There is a thermal spa with various pools and saunas, a real pirate adventure pool for the little ones, and a slide with light effects. In the summer, you can even learn to surf on a mobile surf track. On a rainy day, there is an indoor adventure park where children aged 4 to 10 are guaranteed to have a great time. There is so much to do here that you really need to experience it for yourself. A top campsite for families with (young) children!
