If you are a planning vacation in Europe and you live on a tight budget, there are a few tips which could come in handy. First of all, staying in hotels is out of the question if you want something affordable and yet decent. Still, there is a perfect solution even for those who have limited vacation budgets – camping. This way of traveling is even more exciting because it has a certain dash of adventurousness. Europe has a great selection of camps and here is a list of top 10 budget campgrounds, where you can expect good conditions for a reasonable sum of money.

1. Spain

Let’s begin with sunny Spain. Campsite Arco Iris near Madrid offers pretty good conditions and the price is 30 euros for 2 adults and a car during the season peak. Of course, you will have to pay extra for any of the facilities or commodities such as swimming pool or laundromat.

2. Italy

After Spain, the best choice is too keep it hot and visit another Mediterranean jewel – Italy. There are many campsites in this country, but if you go to Venice’s Marina di Venezia you can expect a comfortable stay. Among its benefits are perfectly maintained camping area, clean showers and bathrooms and ferry transportation to the city.

6. Poland

You should not miss out on visiting the Eastern European countries, recently admitted into the EU. Many tourists avoid camping in those countries because they usually can’t find enough information about campgrounds there. But this doesn’t imply that the conditions are bad. On the contrary, you will be pleasantly surprised.  In Poland, campground WOK located near the capital Warsaw, offers a four-star service for the price of 20 euros, which is pretty affordable.

7. Czech Republic

Its southern neighbor, Czech Republic, a country famous for excellent beer, also has well maintained campgrounds. Near Karlovy Vary there is a charming, little camp, ‘Vaclav’. According to visitors, it is a good place as they rated it pretty highly. The prices start from 22 euors.

8. Austria

It would be a shame to be so near the Alps and not visit this wonderful mountain massif. Since Wien is very close to borders with Czech Republic and Hungary, you can drop by and have some fun at Aktiv Camping Neue Donau near Vienna in Austria. As its name suggests, this camp is perfect for those wanting active vacation and as it is situated on the banks of the Danube River you can practice water sports, beach-volley and other summer activities. The prices are from 26 euros for two adults per night.

9. Hungary

Just across the border, lies another excellent country for camping – Hungary. This new member of the EU has a couple of great camps near the capital, Budapest, and bearing in mind that decent hotels tend to be pretty pricey there, and that you can hardly find where to park your car in the city, it is actually a good idea to find accommodation at campground. Campsite Papsziget is the place praised by those who visit it. It is actually situated on the Sziget Island in Danube and this wonderful, natural retreat boasts charming and lovely surroundings. The prices are from 18 euros for two adults.

10. Romania

Finally, you can end your journey across Europe in Romania. The crowning touch of your vacation can be staying near Dracula’s Castle. The name of this camp is very indicative and I’m sure that a bit of spookiness will only jazz up the atmosphere. Vampirecamping is situated near a picturesque, medieval city Brasov. This pleasure costs 20 euros for two adults per night.
