There’s no better way to really unwind and switch off than a camping holiday. Something tells us that this campsite for older campers will be a huge hit! Whether it’s for children, parents or grandparents, camping really is for everyone.
Are you a retired couple, a group of friends, or planning a family holiday with your grandkids? Retirement is the best time to make the most of your freedom whilst on holiday. When staying at a 4- or 5-star Sandaya campsite, the first decision you’ll need to make when planning your holiday is the destination. Once that decision is made, you can then focus on the activities on offer at the campsite and in the surrounding area. At a luxury campsite designed for camping later in life, everything has been focused around comfort, peace of mind and freedom.
Enjoy some important self-care time while camping with our well-being area, spa and hot tub. As for things to do during your break, you can count on our activity leaders to keep you entertained during the day and through themed evenings. Outside the campsite, explore the surrounding area and treat yourself to some local produce tastings.
Sounds perfect, right? Well, it’s time to choose your campsite and accommodation!
When you retire, you have a level of freedom that everyone dreams of. You can go camping whenever you like, at any time of year!
We’ve designed everything with comfort in mind on our campsite for older campers: a fully equipped kitchen, a shaded terrace and premium facilities. All you’ll have to do is unpack your suitcase!
From easy-going outdoor activities to the hot tub at the campsite, your stay will help you recharge your batteries in no time!
Whether you’re going away as a couple to spend some quality time together or with your grandchildren, Sandaya has something to make sure that everyone can enjoy their perfect holiday!
If you’re looking for comfort for your next camping holiday for older campers, you’ll be pleased to know that Sandaya’s 4-star and 5-star campsites are perfect for campers at all stages of life: babies, teenagers, adults and —of course— older campers. Immerse yourself in a natural setting by the sea, by a lake or in the heart of the countryside, in a fully equipped mobile home that will be your base for a perfectly peaceful getaway.
Whilst you’re here, you’re free to do whatever takes your fancy, in whatever order suits you: wake up at 8 am, enjoy a treatment in the wellness area after breakfast, have a relaxing nap in the early afternoon, try out some aqua aerobics, then laze by the pool whilst keeping an eye on the grandchildren.
With the flexibility of your schedule, we’d say that off-season camping holidays are ideal for retirees. In spring, during the long weekends in May or between September and October, make the most of great rates and fewer crowds for a stress-free holiday.
From April to June, you can expect lower visitor numbers for outdoor activities, as well as for the campsite. With a more tranquil atmosphere and a milder climate, the walking trails are accessible and pleasant, and we offer indoor and heated swimming pools. It’s the perfect time for a short break!
During the summer school holidays, take your grandchildren on a camping trip with a water park, with slides and water chutes that will keep them entertained for hours. Remember to book well in advance for the best rates.
In September and October, camping seems to be a good holiday option for the Indian summer: the beaches are quieter, the water is still warm, and the footpaths are easily accessible and walkable.
Depending on their expectations and needs in terms of comfort and accessibility, there are several accommodation options available for retirees:
For a successful camping holiday for older campers, let yourself get swept up in the impressive range of activities tailored to your needs.
If you think you’ll enjoy the wellness area with its treatments, spa, sauna and hot tub to help you unwind, then you’re sure to also enjoy activities such as cycling along the cycle paths on the Île de Ré, or in the Vendée or Languedoc-Roussillon regions, too! Follow the signposted trails, put on your best walking boots and set off on an adventure through the Ardèche Gorges from Sampzon, or admire the Auvergne volcanoes from Murol. A walk around Lake Annecy starting from Doussard is always a good idea when staying in Haute-Savoie. Prefer activities at a slower pace? Why not give fishing a go in Sologne or at Lake Annecy?
When it comes to the cuisine and culture of the region you’re staying in, you won’t be disappointed. As you wander through the local markets, sample regional specialities and discover new flavours!
Sandaya’s luxury campsites offer mobile homes adapted for older campers with reduced mobility: thanks to an access ramp and spacious, well-designed layouts, holidaymakers can easily access and get around in their accommodation.
As for access to the campsite’s facilities and communal areas, the level paths make it very easy to get around. Please note that accessible facilities vary from campsite to campsite. We recommend checking which specific facilities are available at the time of booking.
A campsite is the perfect place for a multi-generation holiday. Take your beloved grandchildren on a luxury camping holiday and create new, unforgettable memories together!
During the day, the kids can join their friends at the mini club. The activity leaders organise fun workshops and entertaining activities to keep them busy. In the meantime, why not make the most of the wellness area, if there is one, to relax? When it comes to mealtimes, take a seat on the terrace with the little ones for a cosy lunch where they can tell you all about their fun-filled morning. In the afternoon, take them for a walk in the local area so they can discover the local flora and fauna.
