Written by the Sandaya team

Dyed-in-the-wool camper or newbie, treat yourself to a stay in the great outdoors: there’s no better way to recharge the batteries, guaranteed!

Your holiday’s already planned? Then all you have to do now is check out our list of camping essentials to make sure you don’t forget anything. Ready, steady, go!

1

Sunscreen, swimsuit, sunglasses

In other words the “relaxation package” essential for any self-respecting camper. Can’t you just see yourself soaking up the sunshine on the ocean beaches, by the campsite swimming pools or as you gaze out over the azure blue sea? And why not add your favourite straw hat to complete the outfit? Perfect, now you look every inch the quintessential holidaymaker!

2

Your camera

There’s one thing you can be certain of: your Sandaya camping holiday will be synonymous with incredible panoramas! At the edge of the most beautiful Mediterranean beaches, admiring illustrious historical monuments or hiking through the forest, you won’t be able to resist the desire to capture the moment for posterity. Cheeeeese!

Your holiday book

You know, the one that’s been sitting on the edge of your bookshelf, patiently awaiting the ideal moment for you to dive into its pages... At last, that moment has finally come! Never forget: camping is above all an opportunity to get far away from the everyday and back to life’s simple pleasures.

4

Your pétanque boules

The holiday sport “par excellence”! Whether it’s your favourite game of skill, or an activity you’ve always wanted to try, you’ve knocked on the right door! The majority of our Sandaya campsites have one or more pétanque courts, some of which even come with a fabulous sea view! And once you’re all set up, the rule is simple: the first one to 13 is the winner!

5

Flip-flops and walking shoes

When it comes to holidays which are you, one of those who like to “slow down” or those who “never let up”? When camping with Sandaya, you can always find the ideal holiday destination to live your passion full speed ahead. And anyway, why should you have to choose? Most of our campsites offer a chance to enjoy all the pleasures of the water and the delights of hiking. So go on, go for it all!

6

Your fishing tackle

Did you know? Several of our campsites have their own little lake or lie directly on the banks of a river where fishing is allowed, as long as you have a licence of course. The ideal activity to enjoy a moment of total peace and quiet!

7

Your laptop

The era of camping at its most rudimentary is well and truly over! Here at Sandaya, our campers’ comfort is always a priority, whatever their choice of accommodation. So all our campsites come with Wi-Fi access, so you can keep an eye on what’s happening in the world. And for PREMIUM accommodation it’s 100% free!

8

Your Mölkky

Whether you’re heading off on holiday just the two of you, with all the family or with your friends, Mölkky is a great past-time that never fails to delight everyone, from youngest to oldest! And its big advantage over pétanque is that this Finnish game of skill can be played on any surface. On your campsite pitch or even on the beach, you’ll never be short of space to enjoy a fun game all together!

9

Your playlist of the day

Because the best moments in life are always lived to music, compile your own holiday playlist to keep you company all summer long! On the beach or on your garden furniture, during a bike ride or a sports session, there’s always a song that will match your mood to perfection. In need of inspiration? Discover our Sandaya playlist, perfect listening for your holiday journey!

10

Your favourite campers

Because your campsite stay would never be the same without them, gather up all your best friends, your significant other or your darling family when you head off camping: your holiday will be idyllic from start to finish!
