Camping: why we love it more and more

Are you reluctant to go on a camping vacation? We’ll dispel them in a jiffy! Find out here why camping is attracting more and more people.

Let’s face it, most campsites are a long way from the vision of Patrick ! Nowadays, most campsites are huge, fully-equipped and very modern. You’ll even find 5-star campsites that offer :

• A welcome in 3 foreign languages
• Heated washrooms and showers
• High-quality optional services (massage, hairdresser…)
• A swimming area
• Internet
• 24-hour reservations

There is an evaluation grid for campsites, which is constantly evolving. Since 2019, for example, it has included: cleanliness of accommodation, internet access from the second star upwards, the abolition of Turkish toilets and other criteria. So regulations are increasingly stringent, and vigilance is heightened. Finally, camping doesn’t necessarily mean tents. There are many campsites where you can rent a camper van or small bungalow. The notion of camping is becoming ever broader.

That’s one of the advantages of camping. You’re usually right in the middle of nature, and if you’re in a tent, you get an even more immersive experience. Many people describe camping as“freedom“. You’re in a secure complex, and you can return to your “accommodation” whenever you like. You can spend the night under the stars, go for a night walk or drink hot chocolate by the fire.

It’s a fact that campsites are so big that you’re bound to meet a lot of people. If you’re a regular, it’s true that you’ll find a few familiar faces from one year to the next. But most of the time, you’ll meet new people! This is one of the many advantages of camping in France, especially in summer, when many tourists flock to the campsites, so you can discover a new language and a new culture. It’s a great way to extend your vacation and add an unexpected cultural dimension! Of course, you can also stay with your friends if you prefer a quieter vacation. But don’t forget that camping is also about conviviality and discovery!

So, you feel like going camping? We’re just waiting for the warm weather to return, and then we’ll pitch our tent! And if you don’t want to be away for long, why not try out the principle of micro-adventure ?
