Travel Essentials Checklist
A complete packing guide for your Eurocamp holiday — covering travel documents, health essentials, self-catering must-haves, and practical tips to make your trip easier.
📄 Travel Documents & Essentials
Booking confirmation (including Eurocamp contact number)
Keep your Eurocamp booking confirmation easily accessible for arrival. We recommend printing a copy in case of poor signal or phone issues. Also make a note of the Eurocamp contact number for on-site assistance if needed.
🛂 Passports
Ensure all passports are valid and in date before travelling. Most European destinations require passports issued within the last 9 years and 6 months.
🏥 GHIC and travel insurance
Make sure you have full healthcare cover before travelling. This includes a GHIC card and comprehensive travel insurance. Comparison sites like travelsupermarket.com can help you find suitable options.
🚗 Driving licence and insurance documents
If you’re hiring a car or driving abroad, these are essential. Always confirm your insurance includes European cover and check exactly what is included.
📱 Mobile phones
Take photos of important documents such as passports, booking references, and insurance details as backups. Don’t forget chargers and a European adapter plug. Hot tip: bring a UK multi-plug so you can charge multiple devices with just one adapter.
💳 Wallet, cash and payment cards
Most Eurocamp parks accept card payments, but cash is still useful for tolls, small shops, and local services. A compact wallet that holds both is ideal.
🍳 Self-Catering Essentials
Even well-equipped mobile homes benefit from a few extras to make your stay more comfortable, practical, and cost-effective.
🧽 Kitchen essentials & food items
Dishcloths, sponges, washing-up liquid & bin bags — starter packs are often provided but may not last the full stay. Bringing your own washing-up liquid is recommended.
🧻 Tea towels — often limited or not provided, so bring extras.
🍱 Tupperware, food bags & cling film — ideal for leftovers, picnics, and reducing waste.
🧼 Multi-surface wipes or cleaning products — useful for keeping your space tidy.
🧻 Kitchen roll — essential for spills and quick cleaning.
🧂 Condiments, herbs, spices, oil & coffee — bring favourites to save money and avoid buying duplicates.
💧 Water bottles — reusable bottles are essential for days out and pool time.
💊 Vitamins — don’t forget daily supplements if you take them at home.
🛏️ Bed, Bathroom & Health Essentials
A few personal items can make your stay much more comfortable and help you feel at home.
🛏️ Bedding & towels — can be pre-booked, but often cheaper to bring your own if travelling allows.
🧴 Toiletries — include all essentials in travel sizes to save space.
🧻 Toilet roll — usually provided, but not guaranteed on arrival.
💇 Hairdryer & straighteners — not essential but useful for evenings out.
🧴 Sun cream — absolutely essential, especially for children. European sun is stronger than expected.
🩹 Medicine & first aid kit — include pain relief, plasters, after-sun, and any regular medication.
💇♀️ Hairbrush, bands & accessories — especially important for families.
🩸 Sanitary products — bring enough as campsite selection may be limited.
🪒 Razors — easy to forget but worth packing.
