The south of France is a popular destination for a long weekend in the spring as well as for the entire summer vacation. With mild weather and temperatures for several months of the year, the Mediterranean coastline is a delight for those who like to enjoy the sun, the sea, the hilly nature for hiking and the beautiful and lively cities. Holidaymakers, whether they go as a couple, with friends or with their families, will find a multitude of comfortable campsites in the South. These accommodations are ideal for disconnecting from everyday life and creating pleasant memories. Autumn is here, but perhaps some people are already thinking about the return of the good weather and their future destination! And the earlier you book your seaside camping in the South, the more likely you are to get a spot. Here are some good reasons to make the Mediterranean coast the next camping vacation destination.
The south of France, a variety of destinations under a generous sun
The south of France is not a homogeneous territory and in fact a multitude of landscapes and atmospheres await the vacationers. To the west of the Mediterranean coast, Languedoc-Roussillon reveals cities that have enchanted holidaymakers for decades. Argelès-sur-Mer and Le Barcarès are pleasant towns in which to stroll, store and reach in no time the superb beaches with clear waters and views of the Albères massif. Nearby, there are cities with remarkable heritage, such as Collioure, Cathar castles and other architectural gems such as the Cistercian abbey of Valmagne. Not to mention the vineyards of Banyuls and its precious nectars.
If choosing a campsite by the sea in the south of France requires a little thought, it is because you also have the possibility of going a little further east to the Hérault. This department of Occitania is another fascinating territory with among others the charming city of Sète and the Grande-Motte and its beautiful beach of Grand Travers.
Then, even further east, there is the French Riviera and its treasures. The oldest city in France, Marseille, offers quick access to the splendid Calanques National Park. The Var also has cities with steep, colorful streets, such as Hyères and Bormes-les-Mimosas. In a Provencal atmosphere, you can enjoy the markets, the gastronomy and of course, the pleasures of the seaside. From the Côte Bleue to the fine sandy beaches of the Îles d'Or, the Mediterranean never ceases to reveal its most beautiful hues, and to delight lovers of water sports.
The happiness of settling in a top-of-the-range campsite
Camping is a type of accommodation that has won over the loyalty of many travelers over the years. In the south of France, a region with a high rate of sunshine, conditions are ideal for making the most of life outdoors. That's why many campsites on the seaside with a friendly atmosphere are waiting for groups of friends and families. You can not only install a tent, a caravan or a motor home, but also find the comfort of a real house by choosing to settle in a cottage perfectly equipped with terrace, kitchen and private bathroom.
In a campsite in the south of France, a multitude of facilities and activities are offered to children and adults: water park, playgrounds, tennis court, mini-golf, children's club, wellness area, sports activities and excursions, evening entertainment and shows... All the conditions are met to spend pleasant moments at the campsite, while having the freedom to roam the surroundings of the structure, looking for the best coves and beaches for swimming and practicing kayaking, paddle, windsurfing, jet skiing or snorkeling.
