Have you decided to spend your summer vacations with your family and children at a campsite? Then you're definitely looking for a campsite with a pool! Unless you're really by the sea, lake or river - and often even then - a swimming pool is a must. Relaxing by the pool, playing in the water, swimming laps in the early hours of the morning are what make good vacation memories and moments of true relaxation, where you can recharge your batteries after a year of hard work. In the low category, the pool is already a very good option.
Why choose a campsite with a swimming pool?
With a campsite with an on-site swimming pool, you won't need to take your car out for a swim. With a swimming pool rather than a water park, you have the choice of more affordable two- or three-star campsites. When you choose a campsite with a swimming pool, you're assured of staying in an establishment of a certain quality, without being overpriced. Some 4- and 5-star campsites also have swimming pools rather than water parks. In this case, however, the environment is enhanced by top-of-the-range facilities: there are generally two swimming pools, some of them indoor, some of them heated, and a range of leisure and sports activities are on offer.
How do I choose a campsite with a swimming pool?
When booking, find out when the pool is open and when it's open to avoid disappointment. The size of the pool is also important. A tiny pool in a big campsite means traffic jams! The area around the pool also counts. A solarium, grass, gravel and deckchairs all add to the quality of your poolside experience. Of course, safety and cleanliness are also important.
