How long does it take to reach Eurocamp Duinrell from the UK?I would say that there are three obvious routes to Eurocamp Duinrell:
We looked at the price to take a standard sized car (a Honda CRV) on the Stena Line ferry and the Eurotunnel/LeShuttle. Our price comparison was done in May 2023 and was for a return journey with four people in the car in early August 2023. We didn't include roof boxes, bike carriers and so on. We looked for the crossing closest to noon on each leg and went for the cheapest fare available. The price with Eurotunnel/LeShuttle was £320 whilst the price on the ferry was £498. Of course, this is only one price comparison but the Eurotunnel was £178 cheaper in this instance. However, you will do about 375 miles more driving in total if you go via the Eurotunnel/Le Shuttle from Folkestone compared to arriving in the Hook of Holland. My car costs about 15p per mile, so the extra fuel would cost me about £55. I will leave you to work out the actual cost of driving that far once you factor in French toll roads, wear and tear and so on! The cost of flights came to £370 when we checked but it's not a very fair comparison. Most of the flights available were in the evening and we didn't include the cost of getting from the airport to Eurocamp Duinrell. It's a 45 minute drive so you would either need a hire car or a taxi. We also didn't include the cost of parking at the airport. How much does a holiday at Eurocamp Duinrell cost?Eurocamp Duinrell is a popular holiday location so there wasn't much left for August 2023 holidays when we searched in May 2023. The best price we found for a family of four for a week in August 2023 was £1697 for an Azure Plus which is a three bedroom static home. It can technically sleep eight people but it's only got three bedrooms, so it does get a little cosy if you fill it up. They also had two bedroom Comfort Vista static homes for £1075 for five nights, which works out a little cheaper per night.  Most of the accommodation at Eurocamp Duinrell is chalets/static homes like this one What's the weather like at Eurocamp Duinrell?Eurocamp Duinrell is in Wassenaar in South Holland so you can expect a climate which is quite similar to London's.
You can expect highs of 22 Celsius in July and August. June and September are slightly cooler with average high temperatures of 20 and 19 Celsius. For comparison, London's average high temperature in July is 22 Celsius whilst August is 21 Celsius (i.e. almost exactly the same as Wassenaar). The June and September average high temperatures in London are 20 and 19, which is the same as Wasseanaar.
