If you thought camping was all about pitching up in the rain and arguing over who forgot the pegs, think again! Whether it’s a camping holiday to a self-drive, or a more physical hiking and camping tour, whether you’re on your own and want to join a group tour with a guide, or you simply want the basics covered to allow you the freedom to explore at your leisure, an AITO specialist is sure to be able to provide you with the perfect trip.

Head off the beaten track in the hands of experts on an overland camping tour by truck in Asia or Africa, exploring new horizons and living the life of a nomad for up to six months.

• Camp in style on a self-drive (including caravan) holiday to one of hundreds of sites in Europe. Use a supertent or mobile home as a base from which to explore the new surroundings in the luxury of your own car
• Hire a motor home and enjoy the freedom of the open road, exploring the United States – from Yosemite to Yellowstone – at your own pace
• Visit an AITO specialist campsite in France: many of them include football coaching and children’s clubs, as well as swimming pools and evening entertainment
• Get close to nature on a tailor-made camping and hiking or adventure holiday in New Zealand

Some camping holidays, particularly to European destinations, are seasonal as the campsites are only open from April to September. Overland truck tours have fixed departure dates and some longer tours only run a few times a year, although it is sometimes possible to arrange another date with operators if there’s a group of you with specific needs.
