Seaside campsite

At a 4 star or 5 star campsite, savour every barefoot, blissful moment of your holiday! You can lap up the joys of the water at all our star-rated seaside campsites in France – whether that’s by the sea, the ocean, or at the campsite’s own swimming pool and water park.

• For a getaway at a camping destination in the south of France, pitch up at a seaside campsite in Occitanie – at Vias-Plage in the Languedoc-Roussillon, Sainte-Marie-la-Mer or Leucate – and enjoy a fantastic holiday with your family, children or friends. Looking for a picture-postcard setting? Opt for a seaside campsite in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region – in Fréjus, Grimaud, Saint-Tropez or Saint-Raphaël – where golden beaches meet picturesque Provençal villages. For a real sense of escape, set your sights on the beaches of Corsica! In the heart of Venzolasca or Castellare-di-Casinca, lose yourself in a seaside stay on the Island of Beauty, one of the most breathtaking destinations in France!
• For an Atlantic escapade, treat yourself to a gloriously sea-salted stay at a seaside campsite in Nouvelle-Aquitaine – at Arcachon, Sanguinet, La Palmyre or Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré. In Southern Brittany, combine local tradition and ocean delights at a campsite in Carnac or Bénodet. And while you’re travelling along the Atlantic coast, why not make time for the Vendée?
• Further north in France, spend quality time with the kids or your friends on holiday at a seaside campsite in Normandy – at Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer or Genêts, perfect spots for an authentic getaway.

A stay at a seaside campsite makes it easy to organise a family holiday with the kids or a getaway with friends: with the beach on hand for fun and games all day long, no need to keep going backwards and forwards to the campsite! Throughout your stay, you’ll be immersed in that irresistible camping atmosphere, breathing in the sea air from the moment you wake. A seaside holiday in France, Spain or Italy is hard to beat for a dream combination of lazy beach days, endless swimming and breezy coastal walks. And these destinations are equally wonderful if you’re keen to get a real taste of the country, whether you’re staying in France or venturing further south into Europe.

A campsite near the beach typically means the coast is just a few minutes’ walk (or a short drive) away, while a campsite with direct beach access usually lets you step straight from the campsite onto the sand, for a carefree family holiday with the kids or fun getaway with friends. And it’s one of the most sought-after attributes for a laid-back stay!

On your seaside camping holiday, life naturally revolves around the water, with aquatic amusement in every form! From swimming and strolls along the shore to watersports, depending on your campsite destination (stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, boat trips out to sea…) in France, Spain or Italy. And when you fancy a change of pace, the beauty of a star-rated campsite is that you can make the most of all the amenities, activities and entertainment on offer, including the water park and swimming pool and children’s play areas… for a fun-packed stay with family or friends!

For the full coastal experience, May and June or September are often ideal, offering warm temperatures, a calmer vibe and fewer families around outside of the school holidays. You can split your days between lazing on the beach and getting to know the country.

July and August are the stuff of summer postcards, buzzing with a family atmosphere, with activities, entertainment and services running at full throttle, especially at seaside campsites.

With so many seaside campsites to choose from, the key is finding the one that ticks all your boxes. The simplest approach is to start with the number one item on your holiday wish list:

• Beach all day long: make quick and easy access to the beach your priority.
• An active holiday: look for a Club campsite with watersports and activities on site or nearby.
• A relaxing getaway: book a Chill campsite, outside the school holidays when there are fewer families and fewer activities and entertainment on the programme.
• A holiday with children: opt for a campsite near the beach, with a water park, swimming pool, entertainment, children’s clubs and activities throughout your stay.
