Outdoor accommodation is particularly well suited to the summer season and many campsites are open from the end of March until the end of September or even the end of October. On the Côte d'Azur and other seaside destinations, the season is even shorter, reduced to the three summer months. On the other hand, in the winter sports resorts, the motorhomes remain open during the end of the year and February vacations. However, a whole park remains open all year round.
Brittany has the most campsites open all year round. They are also numerous in Burgundy, Aquitaine and the Jura. They are often three star campsites, often four, because they have infrastructures that allow and justify stays even in winter, and remain pleasant with covered water parks, chalets with all the comforts, with heating in winter, air conditioning in summer, entertainment on the spot, activities or visits to do around.
The advantages of a campsite open all year round
The first of them is... that it is open all year round and allows you to find a more affordable accommodation than a hotel, especially at the time of the end of the year in the most touristic places. In addition, a year-round campsite allows you to take your vacation outside of the summer season and thus benefit from lower rates and a more peaceful atmosphere. A year-round campsite is necessarily located in a rich territory, whose appeal is not limited to swimming and summer rest, since it justifies a year-round opening
