Campervan to disneyland Paris and Nurburgring

[chriz1]

Hi,

We're hiring s campervan to drive to Disneyland Paris and Nurburgring in August. Mrs and son 8 yrs old.

Never been by road before, I'm looking for tips on where to stay and if there's anything to visit espically for kids?

I'd be looking at a motorhome site near to Calais for first night any decent ones?

What's are the chances of stopping over in a layby or services ? Or have they limited this like the Uk?!


Then near Disneyland Paris then we be heading to Nurburgring so again anywhere we should stop off and visit and decent places to stay near the ring that's campervan friendly?

I'm sure there's a wealth of knowledge on here

Interesting thanks this is just the info I'm after ! I wonder if they're locations are listed anywhere so we can plan

Any other tips ?!

Any water parks near Nurburgring or on the way ? We may skip Disneyland this time round and head toward Germany if there's a few parks along the way. Noted Phantasialand

I wouldn't be stopping at any aires near the channel ports

Avoid supermarkets that are near them as well.

This. You’d be better stopping in Folkestone for the night and getting an early tunnel/ferry.

Phantasialand near Cologne is worth a visit with an 8yr old. Disney level of theming and some great rides that would make a world top 10.

Nurburgring camping am Nurburgring for electrical hookup would be my vote. Are you planning to rent a car when there?

Yes looking to

I may do, he says he's more interested In waterparks now ??

When booking euro tunnel I noticed that its around £80 cheaper each way !
if I put that the camper van is over 8m long... ? Its not its only 5.9m.
Never used euro tunnel before, but will I get away with booking as being over 8m?

Just that I've never been so wanted to go really
