The tropics at your fingertips
Fancy some sand, palm trees and an exotic atmosphere? Some French campsites recreate the spirit of the islands, with decorations, accommodation and activities inspired by warm countries.
- Camping Sandaya Domaine du Colombier, on the French Riviera, is a perfect example of this. Its water park includes a lagoon river, heated pools surrounded by palm trees and shaded areas, offering a setting that is both modern and exotic. The tropical atmosphere, combined with the entertainment and water areas, gives the impression of staying on an exotic beach.
- Further west, Camping Village Tropical Sen-Yan, in the Landes region, immerses holidaymakers in a lush setting: palm trees, banana trees and water pools with lagoon areas and a private beach. Themed entertainment and activities extend the immersion for the whole family.
Other campsites in France adopt similar codes: abundant vegetation, turquoise waters, a sunny atmosphere and modern comforts. Here, the change of scenery does not come from travelling far away, but from the atmosphere, the landscapes and the facilities, offering a real taste of tropical holidays for young and old alike.
Immerse yourself in the Middle Ages and castles
For lovers of history and legends, some French campsites offer a real medieval atmosphere and castles. Here, you don't just sleep: you stay in a setting steeped in history, sometimes in the very heart of the lands of the kings of France.
- At Camping Château des Marais, located in the grounds of a 15th-century castle in the Loire Valley, the setting is majestic: tree-lined paths, ancient architecture and an elegant atmosphere immediately transport holidaymakers to another time. Between visits to famous neighbouring castles and bike rides along the Loire, your stay will feel like a historical epic.
- For its part, the Château de Chanteloup campsite, near Amboise, reinforces this immersion with its heritage environment and family activities. Sleeping near a castle, taking part in activities or exploring the surrounding area transforms holidays into a real adventure for children... and adults alike.
In this iconic region, some campsites also offer unusual accommodation inspired by the period: fortified cabins, teepees decorated in a knightly style or small themed villages. The experience is complete: a night in the heart of nature, outdoor games and walks in sites steeped in history.
Here, the journey is not to another continent, but to another era — an essential stop on your world tour... medieval style.
Mediterranean getaway
In the south of France, certain campsites perfectly capture the spirit of the Mediterranean coastline: bright light, light colours, palm trees and a sunny atmosphere by the water. Even without leaving the country, you can feel like you're in a different world and enjoy a real holiday setting in the sun.
- Camping Club Farret in Vias-Plage is a perfect example of this. With direct access to the beach, a variety of accommodation options, themed areas and sun-drenched swimming pools, it offers a setting that is both modern and immersive. The bright, southern atmosphere, combined with leisure facilities and tastefully decorated areas, gives the impression of staying in a little corner of paradise in the South.
- Other campsites in Occitanie or on the French Riviera adopt the same codes: bright light, light colours, Mediterranean decor and a sunny atmosphere. The aim? To make you feel like you're getting away from it all, relaxing and enjoying the charm of the southern coast, while still in France.
Here, the change of scenery comes from the atmosphere, the landscapes and the comfort of the coastline, offering a real taste of a sunny holiday for the whole family.
The call of the great outdoors
If you prefer wide open spaces, nature and forests, France offers many campsites that evoke the great outdoors of Canada or American parks. Regions such as the Vosges, Jura, Landes and Lake Hourtin are home to campsites that focus on greenery, large pitches and wooden accommodation: chalets, lodges and tree houses.
- Huttopia campsites, located throughout France, perfectly embody this philosophy. Whether in the forests of the Vosges, on the shores of the Jura lakes or near the Atlantic Ocean, Huttopia offers wooden lodges and tree houses that invite you to immerse yourself in nature. The sites favour open spaces, hiking trails and tranquillity, so that every holidaymaker can fully enjoy the great outdoors.
The activities on offer complete the experience: hiking, wildlife watching, campfires, swimming in the lakes… Here, the immersion is total and multisensory: you can hear the wind in the pines, the gentle lapping of the water, and the birds singing. A true natural escape, ideal for reconnecting with the forest and wide open spaces, as if you were travelling in the heart of North American parks… without leaving France.
Safari and Africa... without flying
For an even more exotic touch, some 5★ campsites offer safari-style lodges with African décor, tented accommodation and sometimes even farm animals to add to the adventure. The concept is simple: travel from your own location. Everything is designed to ensure that the decor, accommodation and activities create a feeling of being somewhere else.
From the fine sand of the tropics to the wide open spaces of North America, via a medieval or safari atmosphere, each campsite is an invitation to adventure... French style.
