Are you single and a nature lover? What if you could find love on your next camping holiday? Away from the screens and dating apps, camping is the ideal campground for meeting new people. A relaxed atmosphere, shared activities, nights under the stars... Find out why camping is conducive to love and how to maximise your chances of meeting the right person.

Why is camping ideal for dating?

A friendly, natural environment

When you go camping, the barriers come down. No more suits or social networking filters: here, everyone is in shorts, flip-flops and a good mood. This natural environment encourages genuine and sincere encounters. It's easy to chat to your tent or mobile home neighbours, exchange smiles at the campsite mini-market, and group activities quickly build relationships. Camping holidays are often synonymous with new encounters and unforgettable moments.

Bonding activities

Petanque tournaments, hikes, dance evenings, yoga, blind tests, karaoke... Modern campsites compete in imagination to bring holidaymakers together. These no-pressure group activities are a great way to bond over shared interests. Sometimes all it takes is a simple "Would you like to join us?" to change the course of an evening, or even a summer. A simple meeting on the petanque campground can become the start of a beautiful story or unique experiences to share.

How do you meet someone at the campsite? Our practical advice

1. Choose the right type of campsite

Choose a lively campsite with social facilities: bar, entertainment, sports club, swimming pool, etc. These places make it easier to interact. There are even campsites for singles or themed breaks (hiking, well-being, yoga) that encourage romantic encounters.

2. Be open and accessible

Camping is an opportunity to be yourself. A smile, a kind word, an invitation to share a coffee or a game of cards can be enough to create a love connection. Just be natural and available, and don't be afraid to strike up a conversation.

3. Take part in the entertainment

Evenings out at the campsite, karaoke or communal meals are key moments for bonding. Even if you're shy, dare to join in: the friendliness of the campsite makes it easier to talk to people than in an urban environment.

Holiday romance: a campfire... or a real flame?

Of course, not all holiday romances last, but some that begin under the stars turn into real relationships. What's certain is that the romantic setting of a campsite encourages sincere closeness. And even if the relationship doesn't make it back to school, you'll go home with fond memories... and unforgettable moments to talk about. Every holiday is a chance to enjoy unique experiences and maybe even bump into someone on an impromptu date under the stars.
