Camping is one of the most popular holidays in France. There’s so much variety for where to go, where to stay and accommodation. All you need to do, is figure out what you want from your camping holiday.

Want to stay in a tent? Well there’s masses to choose, you can take your own and pitch up at any number of campsites. Or you can rent one at a campsite and they range from just a couple of rooms to truly fabulous. Tents with all mod cons or even exotic yurts are available.

How about a mobile home? If you’ve got really young children, you might prefer to have a few more home comforts and security against poor weather. There’s a vast range of styles available including mobile homes with bathrooms, even hot tubs on private terraces and their own pools! Or you can take your own campervan/caravan.

There are prices to suit all, from great value to glamping, across all areas of France.

  4. From archery to cookery lessons, workshops, art classes and more, many campsites in France offer a plethora of activities to keep the whole family entertained. You can often hire bikes to enjoy quiet roads or designated family friendly cycle routes. You might choose a campsite with or near a lake and enjoy boating fun! You’ll never run out of things to do!
  5. Choose a campsite near a town or village with bars, bistros and tourist attractions for a great choice of things to do in the day and at night. Or enjoy organised activities at the campsite. Many organise evening entertainment for the whole family. Quizzes, karaoke, talent shows, games nights and performances are on offer. Or gazing up at an unpolluted sky, looking for shooting stars on a balmy evening might be your thing.
