CAMPING isn’t just for summer as there are still some amazing European destinations you can get some winter sun for a bargain.
Caravan and Motorhome Club has revealed some of the best campsites across Portugal and Spain to Sun Travel with outdoor pools, play areas and access to popular cities.
Here are some of the very best which are just a few hours from the UK.
Turiscampo, Portugal
You’ll find Turiscampo at the very bottom of the Algarve in the city of Lagos.
If you fancy visiting in November, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how warm it is still with highs of 18C.
What will draw most visitors in is the enormous swimming pool lined with sun loungers.
There’s an on-site restaurant with a varied menu, a snack-bar, bistro and a-la-carte options.
And guests can also use the indoor heated pool, gym, sauna, hammam and check out the various beauty treatments.
If you fancy exploring the city, visits are organised by the campsite to Lagos and the Market of Lagos as well as walks to Praia da Luz or Bugau.
It’s a great spot for golfers as it has nearby courses with views of the open countryside, vineyards, and coastline.
The site is ideal for motorhomes, but you can pitch a tent too.
Pitches range from electric hook-up to special pitch and bathroom pitch – prices start from £25.51pn.
Alannia Els Prats, Spain
The Mediterranean coast of Spain just outside of Tarragona is where you’ll find Alannia Els Prats.
If you love the beach, then this campsite is ideal as it’s seconds away from the coast.
With highs of 19C in November, you’ll still be able to enjoy frolicking on the sands and splashing about in the water.
There’s a pretty terrace restaurant with views over the Med as well as a huge slide and a shallow splash park for kids.
There’s also an outdoor and inside play area, teen club, games room as well as a sports area with a basketball hoop.
On the front line of the Costa Daurada and close to the Ebro Valley, just fifteen minutes from Port Aventura.
Alannia Els Prats has an entertainment team that puts on performances for families.
Nearby is the Botanical Garden, Gaudi Centre, Port Aventura Theme Park and Aquopolis Costa Daurada Aquatic Water Park.
Pitches vary from serviced to large, premium and sea view with prices starting from £23.94pn.
Los Escullos, Spain
If you want a break surrounded by nature then Los Escullos is for you as it’s found tucked away in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
In the low season it’s quiet so it’s also a great spot if you fancy a less frantic atmosphere.
Activities range from the multi-sports court to the entertainment program, and there’s an outdoor pool surrounded by loungers and cosy cabanas.
There’s a focus on wellbeing so make sure to explore the gym, sauna, Jacuzzi and massage treatments.
And if you fancy taking a stroll, there are plenty of trails that run through the National Park.
When it comes to meals, the Oasis Restaurant overlooks the pool and offers guests the opportunity to try traditional Spanish cuisine or check out the pizzeria menu.
The site is around a 40-minute drive from Almería too if you want to explore the city.
Los Escullos offers electric hook-up pitches from £22.53pn.
Costa do Vizir, Portugal
This campsite is on the western coast of Portugal where temperatures reach highs of 18C in November.
Called the Costa do Vizir, it’s ideal for anyone seeking a peaceful camping break by the coast.
The campsite is just 450m from Praia Grande beach, a popular watersports location.
On-site is a fine dining restaurant, and on the beach is the second restaurant which makes for great sunset views.
There’s an outdoor pool and children’s play area.
The country’s capital, Lisbon, is one hour and 30 minutes drive away where you can hop on a tram and eat a tasty Pastel de Nata.
Also nearby is Porto Covo, Pessegueiro’s Island, the Natural Reserve of Costa Vicentiva, Zambujeira and the town of Odemira.
It has electric hook-up and serviced pitches from £24.66pn.
