Hi everyone,
Just returned from 2 weeks in Rudesheim in Germany and had a fantastic time. Now we have done a European holiday with our caravan we can't wait for next year.
Can anyone please recommend sites for next year. Ideally getting a ferry from Hull to Rotterdam, and then a week at one place then the 2nd week somewhere else. Looking at the map Austria, Switzerland looks good but open to all recommendations.
Thanks in advance

I can highly recommend Switzerland but its expensive. The Jungfrau region in particular and camping manor farm. The site and area are fantastic. To get the best out of it you need to buy at least a five day rail pass, this gives you unlimited access to all the mountain railways, cable cars etc except the last part of the ride to The top of Europe which is another 38 euro. The food is fantastic wherever you go. You will need a Vingette for your car to use the swiss motorways and another if you have a caravan, they are about 40 euro each. Once you have paid out for the pass there is enough to keep you occupied all day every day and if you like walking and cycling its even better. J x
Hi bulldogmick,
We stayed at https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.caravanclub.co.uk/overseas-holidays/sites/germany/rudesheim-am-rhein&ved=0ahUKEwiW9PqOrMnOAhWqKcAKHSiPDYkQFggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNF4PybkdVFc5d_H-KA6nwzgWbgAxg&sig2=tsu4y58u5L8HoNhhR8cuMw
It's called Campingplatz am Rhein. It was such a perfect location. 10 mins walk into town through a lovely park and along the river. 5 brilliant supermarkets just around the corner. We barely used the car as everything is accessible via a ferry boat and everything is so cheap. I did buy my euros before brexit though. A really nice bottle of wine is only 2 euros. Pool on-site too

Hi Bishy, we've been visiting France for 23yrs, the last 17 of which we use the Hull-Zeebrugge crossing. Zeebrugge to Lille is a short distance, then you are over into France. We use this route mainly because we prefer the central, SW and Cote D'Azur to the North and NW.
We go next week Hull-Zeebrugge, and back from Rotterdam (due to P&O cancellation). We are heading for Switzerland on the way to NE Italy (Lombardy & the Veneto).
We're doing an overnight just an hour south of Strasbourg as this is our half way point.
I see you are from North Lincolnshire, so Hull is an obvious port to sail from.
Hull-Zeebrugge takes slightly longer than Hull-Rotterdam, but it sails earlier (19:00), so we are off and on the road by 8:45 usually.
We wouldn't go on any other route. The time it takes to get to Dover or a southern port, plus the M25 and the Dartford tunnel makes it a no brainer for us.
We'd rather do an overnight on board than have to stay overnight in the UK.
Enjoy.
We usually sail on 18/08, so today I'm really out of sorts...only a week to go now.
