Planning our next trip back home to Switzerland. Looked at Ferry options to NL but probably doing the Tunnel again because of the dog. Thinking about venturing out a bit further, maybe have a few days in Italy, the South of France or even in Spain. Any thoughts/recommendations regarding routes and Campsites? Many thanks in advance

Thanks so much! I have never even heard of the ACSI scheme before, but will look into it now. Camping Salata looks nice👍

Camping Salata is a very well run site - we stay there most years on our way back from Valenciana, but it is getting a bit pricey.

There is a good Camperpark about 300m down the road from Salata Autocaravaning Park Roses.

We have stayed at Camping Rodas when in Roses it's good and in Acsi so prices is good.

Do you plan to go to Switzerland first then tour or the other way round. 

If Switzerland first then I would use the tunnel with the dog or the short ferry P&O now have a dog lounge so your dog doesn't have to stay in the car. After Switzerland I would choose Italy but be aware at the end of May is a 2 week German holiday so will be busy.

If going to Switzerland last, then I probably would choose south of France and take my time working my way along it. Every area of it is different. Then go up by Provence and Annecy and into Switzerland from there. 

Have a good trip it sounds lovely.

Sounds like a good opportunity to have a great trip.  Weather best is Spain in May pleasant in S of France and N Italy and getting hot by the end of May in all areas, so why not do that order - you have a month!  I would not bother to book for May just be aware of the German holiday in early May and avoid Italian lakes then.  Join ACSI (thro' Club Shop link at top of page)  and follow the sun.  Envious moi - not at all!!!!
