Touring Europe Guide 2026

10/02/2026

The Caravan and Motorhome Club has released its definitive 2026 Touring Europe guide, providing holidaymakers with the most comprehensive offline resource for continental travel.

Now in its 51st year, this essential 800-page handbook is a one-stop shop for tourers. It features nearly 4,000 campsites across 21 countries, including the newly launched sites in Sweden and expanded options in Denmark, alongside established favourites in France, Spain, and Italy.

Powered by the Touring Community

The Touring Europe guide remains the most trusted manual for the community because it is built on member-verified data. Thousands of Club members provide honest, factual reviews of campsites each year, ensuring that the information is relevant to the specific needs of caravan, motorhome, and campervan users.

The 2026 volume provides an all-in-one directory for:

  • Western & Southern Europe: Including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the Benelux nations.
  • Scandinavia: Featuring the brand-new 2026 additions in Sweden and expanded Danish coastal routes.
  • Central & Eastern Europe: Comprehensive listings for Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, and beyond.

Practical Intelligence for the Road

More than just a site directory, the guide serves as a technical handbook for international travel.  It includes the vital "know-before-you-go" information that digital apps often miss:

  • Factual Site Data: Accurate details on pitch sizes, electrical amperages, and dog-friendly facilities.
  • National Regulations: Essential guidance on local driving laws, speed limits, and toll road requirements for each of the 21 countries.
  • Technical Advice: Expert tips on gas regulations, security, and the equipment required for touring outside the UK.
  • Route Planning: Member-written insights on access roads and local services, helping tourers pitch up with confidence.

A Cornerstone of Continental Travel

Harvey Alexander, Director of Marketing and Membership Services at the Caravan and Motorhome Club, said: “For over five decades, our Touring Europe guide has been the cornerstone of a successful overseas holiday. Having this wealth of member-verified information in a single, portable volume empowers holidaymakers to explore the continent with ease. It remains an essential companion for anyone planning a 2026 adventure, whether they are heading to sites in Sweden or the traditional coastlines of the Mediterranean.”

The guide is designed to be used alongside the Club’s online booking services, providing a reliable offline reference for tourers while on the road.
