Overseas Campsite Awards 2025
We are delighted to announce the winners and runners-up of the Caravan and Motorhome Club and Alan Rogers campsite awards for 2025.
The 2025 Awards are sponsored by Irish Ferries, reinforcing its long‑standing commitment to supporting the touring community and celebrating the very best in outdoor holidays across the continent. Irish Ferries’ Dover–Calais route operates up to 20 daily sailings, giving travellers the freedom to take their caravan, campervan, or motorhome straight to the heart of France, Germany, the low countries and beyond, at times to suit all.
The awards were held in Birmingham on 18 February 2026, during the UK’s biggest Caravan, Camping and Motorhome show at the NEC. The awards recognise European partner campsites’ special commitment to our members. The winners were selected from a shortlist compiled by our experienced campsite teams and experts in the camping and caravanning industry, as well as feedback from all our members on the campsites popularity.
These awards have been running for over 20 years and celebrate the efforts made by our overseas partners, with each category having an overall winner and a highly commended runner-up.
