Nearly 80% of campsites are classified within the Tourism category, which means that over half of the pitches are allocated for passing-through or short-stay tourism. The campsites classified in the Leisure category are those where over half of the sites are dedicated to long-stay holidays (one month and over).

With nearly a million pitches, France is also the country with the highest accommodation capacity.
