France is filled with lots of campsites, and when I say a lot I mean literally thousands of camping grounds scattered in every scenic area, from the coastlines to the rolling hillsides and stretching valleys. Getting the most out of a camping experience in France takes not only careful planning but also a real appreciation of the great outdoors.
Campsites in France range from the first star rated to the four star rated camping grounds. The number of stars of the campsite rating reflects how much amenities and services available to campers. The higher the star rating the more luxurious the campsite is. Luxurious campsites have swimming pools, beautiful landscaped gardens, unique restaurants, and other amenities at par with those you can find in top rated hotels.
If you like to take the most of the camping experience, it would be best to consider if you would go in France during the peak months of July and August. The weather during these two months is considered the optimum condition in terms of camping which is the reason why people flock to various campsites all over the country. But if you want to avoid the rush of campers and the possibly full campsites, you might want to schedule your camping trip a month before the peak period or the month after.
Or you could book early and reserve camping accommodations so you can go during the peak months. Or if you find the known areas too touristy, you can search for smaller and less known campsite in France and enjoy the old countryside, the vineyard, the wine, and the culture of rural France.
To give you an idea of what you can see in France imaging for a while the magnificent and charming view of the Alps and Pyrenees. If you’re camping more in the valley or down in the farm country, what you’ll see are old trees with wide branches covering the cool flowing mountain rivers. In the west you have the bigger Loire and Dordogne tributaries.
The coastlines of Frances like in the Straits of Dover, Brittany peninsulas and the Bay of Biscay are great destinations for campers as well. The unique, culturally rich towns and villages along the coasts as well as those located in land are quite a treat for campers and a visit to one of these villages should always be included in the itinerary whenever you are camping in an area.
In the southern portion of France you’ll have reasonable and yet very fashionable resorts that often have their own campsites or have some camping grounds nearby. From Le Touquet to further down the channel Normandy, you’ll find some basic and well-equipped campsites. The coastal resorts not only offer campers a great seaside experience but the food in and around the areas are just superb and is definitely a must try for all visitors of the region.
You’ll find some small resorts like the St Aubin and St Valery-en-Caux which have fairly big and four star rated campsites. The twin resorts of Trouville and Deauville also offer several campsites where vacationers can relax and have fun. Other great sceneries in France that is worth to mention include the medieval walled town of St Malo, La Baule with its magnificent beach, the charming Bénodet, and the busy fishing port of Concarneau.
Getting the most of the camping experience in France lies on how well you prepare, your particular preferences, and how much you want to enjoy. Everything is all up to you.
Nature has been very kind to France and enjoying what the country has to offer lies on the camper himself.
