Campervan Holiday — Where to Go in 2026

A campervan holiday is a way of travel that has experienced a huge boom in recent years. And it is no wonder — it combines freedom, comfort and closeness to nature in a way no other type of holiday can. With the VANWAYS campervan you can head anywhere in Europe and experience a holiday exactly as you imagine.

Why choose a campervan holiday?

A campervan holiday offers numerous advantages that a traditional hotel holiday simply cannot provide:

• Absolute freedom — go where you want, when you want, stop where you want. No timetables or fixed itineraries.
• Closeness to nature — waking up by a lake, under mountains or by the sea is an everyday reality.
• Economic advantage — cook for yourself, skip expensive hotels and restaurants.
• Family experience — children love campervan travel, it is one big adventure for them.
• Pets welcome — you can bring your dog in the VANWAYS campervan.
• Your own pace — want to stay an extra day? No problem. Want to move on? Just start the engine.

Best destinations for a campervan holiday in 2026

Where to go with a campervan in 2026? Here is an overview of the most beautiful destinations:

Croatia — a classic for campervans

Croatia is one of the most popular destinations for a campervan holiday. The beautiful Dalmatian and Istrian coast offers dozens of seaside campsites. Crystal-clear water, historic towns and excellent cuisine — all within 8-10 hours driving from Prague.

Italy — food, wine and culture

Italy is a paradise for food and culture lovers. With a campervan you can explore Tuscany with vineyards and medieval towns, Lake Garda with panoramic campsites, the Amalfi Coast or Sardinia with the Mediterranean's most beautiful beaches.

Austria and Slovenia — mountains and lakes

For mountain lovers, Austria is an ideal choice. Tyrol, Salzkammergut and Carinthia offer stunning mountain campsites with Alpine views. Slovenia enchants with Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj and the Soca valley. Both countries are reachable from Prague in 4-6 hours.

Germany — Black Forest and Bavaria

Southern Germany offers surprisingly beautiful campsites. The Black Forest with thermal spas, Bavarian Alps with fairytale castles and Lake Constance are excellent choices for a shorter campervan holiday. Prague to Bavaria is just 3-5 hours.

Czech Republic — beauty on your doorstep

You do not need to travel far for an unforgettable campervan holiday. The Czech Republic offers beautiful campsites in Sumava, South Moravia, Bohemian Paradise and Krkonose. Low costs, beautiful nature and no international motorway tolls.

Proper planning is key to a successful campervan holiday. You do not need every day planned in detail — the magic of campervan travel lies in flexibility. But a basic framework helps.

Choosing your route and destination

The first step is deciding where to go. Consider these factors:

• Holiday length — for 5-7 days stay in the Czech Republic or neighbouring countries, for 10+ days head to southern Europe
• Season — in summer Croatia and Italy are most popular, spring/autumn Tuscany and Slovenia, winter the Austrian Alps
• Interests — beaches and sea, mountains and hikes, vineyards and gastronomy, or a combination
• Travelling with children — choose campsites with kids activities, pools and short transfers

Daily rhythm on a campervan holiday

Experienced caravanners recommend this proven daily rhythm:

• Morning (7-9 AM) — breakfast, preparing the vehicle for travel (disconnecting power, folding awning)
• Late morning (9 AM-noon) — driving to a new location or exploring the area
• Lunch (noon-2 PM) — stopping at an interesting spot, picnic or cooking in the kitchenette
• Afternoon (2-5 PM) — arriving at campsite, settling in, swimming, sports, exploring
• Evening (5-10 PM) — grilling under the awning, relaxation, watching the sunset

Of course this rhythm is not binding. Want to sleep until ten? No problem. Want to drive all day? Also possible. That is the beauty of a campervan holiday — you set the rules.

Campervan holiday budget — how much to plan?

Approximate daily budget for a family of 4 (rental + all costs):

• Czech Republic: approx. 5,500-6,500 CZK/day (off-peak rental + campsite + food + fuel)
• Croatia/Italy (summer): approx. 7,000-8,500 CZK/day (peak rental + seaside campsite + food + fuel)
• Austria/Slovenia: approx. 6,500-7,500 CZK/day (rental + mountain campsite + food + fuel)

Compared to a hotel holiday, a campervan holiday is significantly cheaper. And moreover — instead of one hotel room you have a complete kitchen, shower, WC and living space that travels with you.

What to do in bad weather?

Rain does not mean the end of your holiday. The VANWAYS campervan is spacious and cosy even in bad weather. Inside you can enjoy:

• Cooking new recipes in the kitchenette
• Board games with kids (included in equipment)
• Reading books or watching films on a tablet
• Planning the route for the coming days

Your campervan holiday starts in Prague-Velka Chuchle, where we personally hand over the VANWAYS campervan. Prague is strategically located in the heart of Europe — an ideal starting point for travel anywhere. You reach the motorway within minutes.
