510 routes that our season estimate rates as best for this time of year, in Europe, North America and Oceania. Easter Sunday 2027 falls on March 28. Trips of up to 14 days.

Wondering where to go for Easter break by RV or camper? Spring is waking up, but in the mountains and the north it can still feel like winter. The Mediterranean is the safe bet: southern Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Greece and the Croatian coast often bring the first warm days of the year. Easter is also when many campgrounds in central Europe open for the season, and the first big wave of travelers hits the road.

The routes below are the ones our season estimate rates as good in March and April, and we only show trips that fit into a short break of up to about two weeks. Our tip: on opening weekend, some campgrounds are still waking up too, with limited facilities. Check opening dates, book popular coastal spots ahead and pack warm layers, because spring nights get chilly even in the south.

## FAQs

**Do I need to book a campground for Easter?**
For popular places, yes. Easter is the first busy weekend of the season, and campgrounds on the Mediterranean coast, at lakes and near famous sights often fill up. Book a few weeks ahead for those. Inland and in less famous regions, you can usually still travel spontaneously, especially if you arrive by early afternoon.

**Where is it already warm at Easter?**
Mostly in southern Europe. Andalusia, the Algarve, Sicily, Crete and Cyprus often have pleasant spring days, and the Canary Islands are mild all year. Further north, Easter weather is a gamble: sunny days and frosty nights can follow each other. In the US, the desert Southwest and the Gulf Coast are classic spring destinations.
