813 routes that our season estimate rates as best for this time of year, in Europe, North America and Oceania. Whit Sunday 2027 falls on May 16. Trips of up to 14 days.

Wondering where to go over Pentecost by RV or camper? Late spring is one of the best times for a road trip: long days, green landscapes and pleasant weather across much of Europe. Mountain regions start to open up, lakes and coasts come alive, and Scandinavia gets its first light nights. The Pentecost weekend is busy, though, because many people use it for a short getaway, and in some regions it coincides with school holidays.

The routes below are the ones our season estimate rates as good in May and June, limited to trips of up to about two weeks. Our tip: book campgrounds early for the long weekend, especially at lakes, on the coast and near popular sights. If you prefer it quieter, choose a less famous region or travel midweek. Some high mountain passes may still be closed early in the season, so check before you plan your route.

## FAQs

**Do I need to reserve a campground over Pentecost?**
In popular regions, yes. The Pentecost weekend is one of the busiest of the year for campgrounds in Europe, especially at lakes, on the coast and in the Alps. Book several weeks ahead if you have a specific place in mind. If you want to stay flexible, plan for less famous regions and arrive early in the day.

**Where is the weather good at Pentecost?**
In much of southern and central Europe, the weather is often pleasant by late spring. The Mediterranean coasts are warm but not yet hot, and the water is still fresh. Scandinavia and the British Isles are getting better but remain changeable. High in the Alps, snow can linger, and some passes only open in June.
