France is Europe's most popular camping destination and offers a wide variety of camping holidays.

There are absolutely thousands of camping sites all over France, in fact over 11,000!

They all offer different service and facilities and you will find that these camp sites are rated in a similar way to that of hotels, so the more stars a site has, the better it will be, although more expensive.

Apart from the typical camping sites available, you can also find places to pitch such as camping on farms, but lots of these do not have a wide range of facilities available, but please be aware that it is only in authorised locations that you are able to camp and not in places such as woods.

Apart from the touring sites where you can pitch your own tent, caravan, RV or mobile, there are many self catering holiday campsites that offer camping tents, mobile homes chalets already on site with all facilities.

It is at these types of camping site that you can normally find facilities that include swimming pools, shops, clubs, bars, entertainment, playgrounds, etc.

They are ideal camp sites for a family camping holiday and some even offer other activities such as tennis, fishing, French boules, cycles for hire, and even games rooms with pool, snooker, etc. And all this can make for an ideal self-catering holiday at very little expense.

When touring with your caravan or motor home, you will find that there are many camp sites who welcome touring holiday makers and not only do they have electric hook up points, but also waste disposal points and some do cater for the disabled as well.

France can therefore offer you freedom and flexibility, whether you choose to stay in one place for the duration of your holiday, or indeed if you wish to hop from camping site to camp site, it can offer you everything from excitement and family holiday fun by the coast, through to staying in the grounds of chateaux in rolling countryside.

So for a self-catering holiday where you have no restrictions, France is the best choice for good value and a memorable holiday for all the family.
