We Love Camping is a directory of traditional campsites in France and across Europe. It brings together 142 campsites that have one thing in common: at least half of their pitches are touring pitches, reserved for tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
We created this site because we love camping as it is practised with your own canvas or your own vehicle. On many campsites, mobile homes have taken the place of pitches, and it has become difficult to find somewhere to pitch a tent or park a caravan. We Love Camping does that sorting for you.
Our criterion: at least 50% touring pitches
A touring pitch is a plot of ground, with or without electricity, on which you set up your own accommodation. To appear on We Love Camping, a campsite must devote at least half of its pitches to touring pitches.
Every listing shows the exact share of touring pitches, together with a badge that sums it up:
- 50%: at least half of the pitches are touring pitches;
- 70%: at least 70% of the pitches are touring pitches, so traditional camping clearly dominates;
- 100%: the campsite offers touring pitches only, with no rental accommodation at all.
How campsites are selected
The touring pitch criterion is the only mandatory one. There is no minimum or maximum size: on We Love Camping you will find farm campsites with a few dozen pitches as well as campsites with several hundred. Every category is represented, from 2 to 5 stars, because stars measure a level of facilities, not the atmosphere of a campsite.
The campsites listed are members of We Love Camping. Membership does not replace the criterion: a campsite that does not offer at least 50% touring pitches cannot be listed.
What you will find on each listing
Every campsite has its own listing, with the information you need to choose before you book:
- the star rating, the number of pitches and the share of touring pitches;
- the size of the pitches, their shade and the electricity available;
- the opening dates and the price of a pitch for two people with electricity;
- the facilities: toilet blocks, private bathrooms, swimming pool, catering, services for motorhomes;
- whether dogs are accepted, and the arrival and departure times;
- the contact details and official website of the campsite, where you book directly.
We Love Camping takes no commission on your bookings: you deal directly with the campsite.
Who is behind We Love Camping
We Love Camping was created in 2020 by Thomas Lambelin, a photographer specialising in campsites. Since 2006 he has photographed more than 500 campsites in France and across Europe for their websites, brochures and catalogues. He camps himself, in a tent or a campervan, and seeks out human-sized campsites where campers keep their place.
