According to a TUI ranking, Albania took first place among European countries for motorhome and caravan travel due to low prices: a night at a campsite costs on average less than 20 euros. Poland and Germany ranked second and third, respectively. Italy and Croatia did not make the top due to high camping costs relative to hotel prices. In Germany, a record 44.7 million overnight stays at campsites were recorded in 2025, up 4.2% from the previous year.

Motorhome holiday with a toddler: why the Ahorn A690 is only almost perfect

The article describes a first family holiday in an Ahorn Camp A690 motorhome with a two-year-old child. During the trip to the Netherlands, the child complained about noise from the Renault Master, which the author says is not quiet. The author finds the noise level acceptable, noting that other motorhomes may rattle more, but a large alcove is not a silent dream. The main question is whether the Ahorn A690 is the right vehicle for a family with a child and whether they will survive the camping trip.
